Tell me about it. Over 300 log ins, almost 100 to one location. Wind blowing dust and big rig engine fans adding to it.

A quarter of a city block away from our gate is another one. It does not have a gate guard and they have been building a road so must have been over 100 clichie trucks with most pulling a second unit. They watered the road atleast twice and the dust still blew.![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/frown.gif "frown") Glad they were not coming in here. ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/biggrin.gif "biggrin") Seems, the way to make a road, W/O a GG!!!
Or do not log each truck in and out. Oh well, what do I know and that is why we get paid!!!![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/cool.gif "cool")
Lot cooler this morning and very little rain yesterday...like only 4 inches!!! That is the drops were 4" apart!![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/wink.gif "wink")
Hope all have a good weekend and everyone has water and diesel fuel...

Had a new rig go in 200 yds west of us yesterday, H&P 468, with their own gate. Now we will get a lot of "lost" souls, as we just did, going to the rig.....
We are taking 4-5 days off, starting Tue, as our fridge is dying and we have a new Samsung residential fridge to get installed. Jamie said he would get a temp here for us and we would come back to our same gate, sure hope so.
Had a quick, heavy downpour yesterday, so we are back on waterfront property for a few days. Our frogs did not return though....

I know how you feel Texan. We have a gate right beside us that gets a lot of traffic....we get very little at night, but just when we get good and sound asleep our bell goes off....really you need the next gate not here.

This morning was very productive. I saw two more rattlers, didn't kill them just let them go their own way.

How is the residential fridge going to work out there. Are you on 24/7 generator? 50amps?
We replaced our Nevercold with a Samsung and have been very happy with it but we are always on shore power. When we do move we run the gender a couple of hours. Seems to hold temp good. We were afraid we had tricked ourselves out of being able to gate guard.

We were afraid we had tricked ourselves out of being able to gate guard. Samsung has issued a letter stating their fridge will run on a MSW inverter, so a full 10kw or 20kw generator with PSW output is no problem. Yes, you have a 50a output on the generator and it will run everything with NO problems. We have a 2.5kw MSW inverter, a solar system and our batteries are also replenished by the alternator while driving, so there is NO need for the generator while traveling. You will NOT have any problem, other than a cold fridge and frozen ice cream, if you come down here and do the gate guard gig with a residential fridge.

Just wanted to take a moment and recognize a couple of gate guards. They are Charles and Donna Taylor. They're on a gate adjacent to CR192, just south of Gonzales.
We had our torque converter on our truck blow and we had driven it to the dealer in Gonzales. This happened right as we were setting up at a new gate. Donna graciously offered to come pick me up and bring me back to the trailer, which was about 5 miles south of them along CR192. They then checked on us every couple of days and offered to take us into town whenever was necessary. And they took us into town when the truck was finished/repairs completed a week later.
Thanks so much, Charles and Donna. Your help was greatly appreciated.
