Just got through wrapping some last minute presents for tonight's Christmas Party #1 in an ongoing series of 4 You have no idea how hard it is to get a sheep to stand still long enough so I could wrap up Cincy's present...at one point I considered Lamb chops for supper

Yep you can. It's called fishing. Those boys make TALL dollars, thousands a day. There is the better part of a million dollars setting down hole in just the bottom hole assembly (motor, sensors, bit, other equip), that does not include the drill pipe...

One of the main reasons I got into the oil field was for the technology and having to think on your toes and come up with new ways to do things. Every well we figure out a better, faster, safer way. What used to take 6 months to do 5 years ago, takes 30 to 40 days now, sometimes as little as 25.

And, your welcome, glad to help!!

Thanks for the thought Top. Though I'm not sure about the idea of having 2nds on someone else's "well used" sheep.. Then again beggars cant be choosers.

The best way to organize it is reduce the number of bottles, bottoms up!

And then the rest of the house will not matter. I see the wisdom in this plan

I just use paper bags to wrap stuff in. Easier, doesn't need to look particularly good, it's environmentally responsible because you're re-using the bag and people really want what's IN the wrapping, not what it's wrapped in. Get to it!

I better quit asking questions before I find myself on an oil rig somewhere. Those are the things I like too. LOVE to find new and better ways of doing things that saves money too. Of course, it's always nicer when who you're working for appreciates it too.

Shorts - - how on earth did you find that video clip. Oh my word. I have been a music director in churches for many years and never heard anything that bad even when we first picked up a new piece of hard music and sight read it the first time. Thanks - - gave me a real chuckle.

Man, it is hot down here - - just plain hot. Worked in yard a bit, then hit the bike for about 10 miles. Came home soaked. It is 81 in the lanai. Mercy, should have jumped in the pool.

Hey, just running by to say hi - - grab some ph00 and hit the road some more. Wow, Santa left Marc up there at North Pole and heading out. Food time is coming and presents and fun with family and - - and - - MORE PH00.
