Today is another shop day, because of yet more rain. I might be in the big mean oil and gas industry now, but we are hamstrung by the environmental considerations, so they can't drag our trucks through the mud and tear up the roads or leases. But on the brightside it means that I rarely have to stand out in the rain like I did yesterday. Twelve hours field time yesterday (including one hour each way travel) and of that about 8 hours was standing out by the wellhead in the rain as we tried to swab in the well.
Another brightside of all this rain is that my front yard is now starting to look great. I designed a pretty good looking pathway and two sets of big flowerbeds so far (one on either side). We just have down each side of the driveway now and then across the bottom by the sidewalk.
One of these days I'll have to try and revive my website so I can put up some pics.
