Last night was wicked nasty. We a bad sand storm that lasted several hours and then it kicked up again later in the morning. I was in a shack but we had to keep opening the door to conduct business. There was sand everywhere. After 2 hours I had to go to the bathroom. I put on my mask, sunglasses, and headed over to the porta-potty. The wind blows in every direction, sometimes it’s a wall of sand coming at you. I made it inside the potty and the sand comes in through the vents. Every inch is covered in sand but fortunately the seat lid was down the whole time so as long as it doesn’t blow around too much in the next 5 minutes I won’t have sand up my ass.
I need to buy a pair of goggles at the PX that cost around $60. I should have brought my swimming goggles or yellow safety lenses with me tonight. I keep forgetting to put them in my bag! It seems like we are getting into sand storm season this week. This is just the first storm I had to work through.
When the storm was over, I began to clean up the shack. Sweeping sand with a half chewed up broom is so ineffective but that’s all we got. I used my baby wipes to clean up the table and equipment.
It sucked big time.
