A swamper is what we call an oiler, spotter... etc.

A helper to an operator. Spots for dangers. Assists with maintenance, etc....

Not sure but if I had to guess Id say somewhere around 15 an hour. They are paying skid humpers 12 or so. Not sure of the benefits, I dont work for the contractor, I always work for the gas company. Im not at work but may be able to get some info for you when I get back.

Or I can maybe get you a number to the contractors main office and tell you what job we are on if you wanna do the leg work sooner...

The project I am on is the Enterprise Acadian Haynesville Extension.

Im not working with any of the fellas I know that superintend for Sunland, so I cant pull any strings for ya...

It would basically be a call to the office and hope they are hiring for something.

Now you would get perdiem daily to cover some living expenses. I think they pay 80 bucks a day.

Evenin' all,

Time to relax, feet up, sip the good stuff.
Had a good day with sister. Then spent time in her pool. Had strawberry ice cream on top of blueberry pie.

I'll pass on the sea food.

HAT in joy the quite time, no kiddletts.

On TV last night they were doing byts from graduation speeches. The one I liked:
Denzel Washington "You never see a U-Haul behind a hearse, you can't take it with you. The Egyptians tried it. All they got was robbed."

Time to walk the Dragon,

Have a good un, and be safe out there.

Growing like wild weeds. Aidens is north of 4ft and Conner already has a mouth full of teeth and is about ready to go from the bottle to a ribeye....

There ain't nothing I like better than hanging around a decent fire for several hours with good friends and a bottle of Jim Beam.

Should I buy a bottle of Jim for tomorrow then?

LOL! If I thought you could get me clean, sober and non-puking by 7AM Monday, AND deliver me to Stow, I just might think about it!
