Well I came to work today on the bike and was pretty good at making people think I am actually working at my desk, all the while looking out the window and seeing blue skies
So about 1:30 pm I have had enough and I am going to go tour some rig sites and check out their compliance. Yeah thats it, compliance inspections, that is what I am going to go do.... the urge to go play Safety Man has nothing to do with the urge to go ride.
I leave the office and head out.....
I hit the beltway and then down to Rosenburg where I am getting close to one of our Rigs...
I arrive the rig and do a very quick walk around and talk with our crews.
Then hit the road again, this time I am heading down to Goliad, TX.
The weather was PERFECT. Mid to high 50's and no wind. Heading down HWY 59 was boring, but it was the quickest route.
I get to Goliad and then head north on 183
Then get off on 119.
I eventually get to Weesatche, TX (can't pronounce it though)
It is in Weesatche, TX that I turn onto FM 884, and what a treat it was, curve after curve with a couple of fairly quick switchbacks.
An example of a curve on FM 884
Eventually I turn off onto the lease road and make my way to the rig.
It is right at 6pm and that is when shift change takes place, so I get to speak a little during the pre-tour safety meeting and then tour the rig then head out, about 8pm or so.
It got pretty cool as it got later, just after leaving the rig it was 46 degrees
And by the time I got home it was 38. I tried getting a hotel room in Cuero, and Halletsville, but no vacancy, and by the time I hit I-10, I said just keep going to the house.
So, 400 miles and I got paid to ride, that made this particular Monday a really good day... even though I had to work late
