Just to let everyone know.....our service man showed up on time, with water, new hose for the bell, and gave me a full tank of diesel. The first time the diesel has been full since November. I thanked him and told him I would see him in about 12 days, unless an emergency came up.

OK..now you are "the teacher's pet"!(LOL)
I know it sure does feel good to be full with water and diesel. There have been a few times when we got pretty low also. We always have extra water in the motorhome tank, but no extra diesel. I'm sure we could get some diesel from the rig if it was an emergency.
We have a couple of new servicemen working out of the Whitsett yard now.
Still haven't heard anything about Jimmy except that he was now going to go on to Arizona for treatment.

Jimmy and his family need all our prayers and hope. He was transferred to the CCA Phoenix facility due to his serious situation. Please keep them in your thoughts.

Talking about snakes, we saw a huge rattle snake this morning crawling across the road to the motorhome, so I immediately put mothballs around the motorhome as what I have read here to use some mothballs. Another question is what would be the first aid for snake bites if that happens, knock on wood though.

I was told if you get a bite on the leg or foot stand still and call 911. Do not sit or walk around this will just make the blood flow and get poison up faster. I am not a doctor so don't bet on me, but a doctor did tell me this.

I found this on the internet.
What is appropriate first aid for poisonous snake bites?
If someone is bitten by a poisonous snake, the bitten area should be immobilized and the victim transported to a hospital as quickly as possible. The bitten area should be washed with soap and water. A wide constriction bandage (tourniquet) may be applied two to four inches upstream of the bitten area (if on an extremity) so long as the pressure is not too tight (one or two fingers should be able to slide under the band). Overly tight tourniquets should never be used as these can block arterial blood flow to the affected area and worsen tissue damage.
Incising (cutting) and suctioning the bite area has not been shown to be beneficial, but a venom extractor (found in commercial snake bite kits) may be helpful if it is applied to the area within five minutes of the bite and left in place for 30 minutes. A 2004 study of mock venom extraction using a suction device, however, questioned the validity of venom extractors and suggested that their use is unlikely to be effective.
Ice or cooling packs should never be applied to the area as these may result in greater harm, and incisions of the bitten area are also potentially harmful and have no benefit.

Hey...What's the deal?? I've heard that several GGS gate guards are either in the process or have already moved to other gate guard companies!! Is it because of more money? Maybe someone needs to inform management at GGS that more money is why they are losing some of their best veteran year-round gate guards! This time of the year is not a good time to be losing gate guards. We will soon be getting into the hot summer months when they can not find enough people to cover gates.
