RE: Information Discussion for Gate Guards
I can't say that LOMA was a bad company to work for. We had a good generator and sufficient water. However, even when we told them that the book said the oil was to be changed every 500 hrs, it was never changed. The water quality was an issue. We were told that it would be city water (therefore tested)but it was brought on a wagon and container that looked like it had been used to clean the barn and when we asked where it came from he said a "well". And when we asked him if he cleaned the tank he said he rinsed it out once in a while. Any concerns we voiced with our manager were quickly dismissed. Like having the road watered. Our manager said there was nothing he could do about it and that we were NEVER to contact the rig people about it. But when I mentioned it to one of the workers I was told that the drilling company would gladly come out and water in from of our site.When the rig moved out they took the garbage wagon with them. When I asked our manager if he knew of another LOMA site in the area that we could take our garbage to instead of 35 miles into town, he just said "NO". Come to find out, the RV area that he and everyone else stayed at had a garbage wagon, laundry and showers that were available to us (our neighbor told us). They definitely could do a better job, but I'm sure it is in par with every one else.

RE: Information Discussion for Gate Guards
Gatekeeper; We finally left the gate. The reasons we left are twofold. The dust was killing us. We were positioned just 20' from a dirt road that was the route to at least 4 other wells and the dust was so bad that we were having a hard time breathing. We were offered (a week after we turned in our notice) another site that was not as dusty, but we refused. The second reason we left is also the reason we refused the move. We could not sign the new agreement which stated that we would be responsible for the extra cost uncured if we were to leave (quit or fired). If LOMA had difficulty finding a replacement and had to hire a day person and a night person at an hourly wage until a permanent replacement was found, we would be liable for the extra cost. And although we like the idea of workmans comp, the cost was ambiguous and I'm not even sure it is required by law. We just had to accept their amount and their justification for it.

RE: Information Discussion for Gate Guards
We put in our notice to leave with Loma last Friday and they still haven't found anyone to replace us. Must be low on help.

RE: Information Discussion for Gate Guards
We are Gate Guarding in TX. We are hooked up to a new 20k generator Cat with 50 amp. It is running at 63 hz instead of 60 hz. Have any of you had any problem with damage from this? Our clocks are running fast. I'm concerned that it may damage our electronics. We use a voltage regulator and the voltage seems to be fine.

RE: Which bank is the best for full timing
USAA So glad we have them. Unless you don't like to do banking on line. Been FT for 16 years and so far they are the easiest to work with and offer things like remote deposit and loans by phone or internet. They helped us transfer all our investments step by step over the phone. Love Them !!!!

RE: Toad Protection
We use Protect-a-tow. Goes between the rig and the car. Not only protects the car but the Blue Ox as well. At $199 it was well worth it. Althought you should never drive through a wash and have the hitch drag on the ground when the Protect-a-tow is on because it will rip a big hole in the material :-)

RE: Visiting adult children
WOW! I really feel a lot better about our relationship with our 3 grown sons now that I've read about so many others. It sure is a complicated relationship we have with our kids. At 62 yrs old I look back at my relationship with my folks and wonder if the time I spent with them was as complicated. My mom is now 87. I'll have to ask her how she felt about the times she and dad spent with us as young adults. They didn't visit often and we didn't talk a lot on the phone because back then it was expensive to call long distance. When they did visit it was to help us out with tasks like cutting fire wood and butching chickens. Then when they moved to FL to retire the visits were only once a year, sort of like our situation now with our kids. But I must say that if my parents called and said they were coming for a visit we would NEVER have put them off. I guess things are a little different now adays. Two of our 3 boys are divorced and don't have custody of their kids but when they were married it was a babysitter they were looking for. Now they just like to visit but don't like us to interfere in their lives. The youngest has 6 kids and lives a life much different than we ever did as a family. He has become very religious and controls his kids with a tight grip (home schooling)and does not approve of our lives or our life style. He hesitates to let the grandchildren stay overnight with us. Go figure. But the grandkids are all getting older anyway and I'm sure we put more importance on our relationship then any of them do.
I guess what I'm trying to get at is that they all have their own lives to live and they will contact you and make time for you when it is convient for them and you can't worry about it.

AC upkeep
With all this HOT HOT weather we are using the AC a lot. Is there any routine upkeep I should be doing to the two units on the roof? Any place to oil or lube it?
