Day 224.
I am up on the water tank pad, but here I am looking west.
Rinsing off the wet suits of the tank cleaners. (Yes, they knew I was taking their pictures! Can’t you tell?)
This last picture is just the night sky on the way home.

Day 223.
I learned an interesting piece of information from the guys who empty the waste water holding tanks. They have to document every gallon of waste water that goes in to the tanks, and every gallon of water that comes out of the tanks. The idea that the gas companies can “spray it on the roads to get rid of it” just isn’t possible.
Here’s a funny story from the guys who empty out and clean out the tanks. They opened a tank recently to empty it out, and had to stop to get in the tank to catch seven or eight frogs who were more-or-less happily living in the waste water tank. They released them on the edge of the pad and they hopped away. (So much for the “dead frog in the waste water pit” sign!)

Day 222.
These last few pictures are of the natural gas pipeline being finished on the edge of the property. I took pictures of the pipeline being constructed on the right hand side of the property facing west a few months ago. Now they are ready to work on the pipeline on the left hand side of the road.
This is the right hand side of the road going west. The pipeline here is finished and ready to hook up to the other side of the road.
Now we’re looking at the left hand side of the road, facing west.

Day 219.
Very wet, cold, and dreary. The site is already starting to look empty, although lots of the equipment is still there, but on the ground.

Day 218.
I have been working on my barns and house to get them ready for winter, and I have gotten behind on publishing the pictures. I am going to publish the latest pictures first, then go back to the earlier ones, until I get to November 6.
The Linde folks have been working hard on the connection to the pipeline. I particularly enjoyed watching the steam shovel operator at work.
