Another Normal Day

Except for a storm that went through yesterday afternoon, there isn't a whole lot to say. It was heading for another hot day when the storm arrived at around 3:30 PM. The temperature at that time was 86 degrees and the storm cooled it down so that it was in the 60's by the time the dinner hour came for us at 7:30.

There was another potluck dinner for the workampers last night that we didn't attend. The dish that everybody had to bring was dessert, and we didn't want to go and stuff ourselves with food we would later be sorry we ate . Both of us are losing some unwanted pounds and that would have been suicide for the weight loss. There were lots of people that didn't go for the same reason.

Some forms were distributed to the workampers over the weekend to fill out if they planned to return next year. We will complete the form and submit it by the end of August. Karen and George are also planning to return and we all decided that, if we do, it would be for the AM shifts in the areas we work.  People that return get some benefits that first year workers don't receive - such as choice of shift, totally free site (now, we are paying $3 per day, $2 of which is returned at the end of the season in the form of a retention bonus), and choice of site for your rig. Things may change, but for now we are planning to return.

That's about it for today...
