Nice train of IM with lots of double stacks, 3 Tiger Cool Express, an Ashley and Interstate was what I could make out. Meeting 202 in FO who is picking up. Must say much cooler weather this evening, feeling marvelous in just short sleeves,  but that wind is still howling. Oh yeah, did notice three wells with double short shirt tanks, but did not get the name. Don't think it was AgMark.
