A while back I was talkin' (and complainin' some) about th' noise at our location here at Catarina. Well, a couple days ago, th' crew extinguished th' "flare." "Hotdog." Wow, sounds good. Then th' crew began to leave, pick up by pick up. Now, I figured we'd start gettin' some real "truck" traffic. HA, "Not." we have been gettin' maybe 5 to 6 trucks a day (that's 24 hrs) and quiet . . . I can actually hear some of th' birds chirpin'. (HA, thought my hearin' aids were goin' bad there for a while).
Th' bad part is, no one tells you if they're goin' to be haulin' product off or not, so, night shift (that's me) has to stay up all night (watchin' re-runs) waitin' for that H2O or 1287 truck that might show up. Now, I'm not complainin' mind ya, but it's almost too quiet. One extreme to another.
More critters also I think. Saw a couple Coyotes last night and tonight more mice/rats and some scorpions. We're usin' Tomcat for th' mice so don't see a lot of them but th' rats like it too. Matter of fact, they'll take a whole log of it off. Wonder if it's actually doin' anything to 'em?? Maybe some rat traps are in order. I seem to remember back in my railroadin' days, we used a product called "Blue Death." Hmm, wonder if that's still available?
Got a call today about another gate over at Dilley. Guess I'll find out on Monday what that's all about.
Later . . .
