I do know this much, when you do twist off, half the time they would run off the whole crew even if you never touched the drawworks brake.
I know a lot more about toilets than I do drilling wells.
wyododge is the real oilfield worker. I just did it as a temp job (for 3 years) after the Army.

The Badger song will make 'em leave quicker. Plus, it's a catchy tune! You remember that one don't you Bark?

Sigh---yes I do. Wish I had never mentioned how badly songs get stuck in my head.

Yeah. Our choir director says my singing is great but says my real talent is playing the little triangle.

Working on the exhaust vent for the generator shed so it will work on the new gen. Wish I had some acetylene.

They let you use the triangle? Were they not aware of what you are capable of? Now you want acetylene.

FiverVocalBobby is in that vid...3rd row.

Evening Scotty. You back to normal yet? Or do you remember what normal was like.

Now the wife is washing the sheets for the downstairs beds even though nobody has slept in them since the last time she washed them. She says they get old.
I have to help make them when she is done.
Gotta love the holidays---

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!!

I've signed a few of those "Tall Tickets" (not as a result of my own doings I may add) The fishin' hands generally provide a good BBQ for the crew.

Jeff you forgot to tell furball what they use for bait when they go fishin'..

Gulp--They used to use us Worms for anything bad. My hair is still the color of oil based mud. I hope things have changed.

How about the llama song? Is that one as bad? <Here's a llama, there's a llama, car a llama, hairy llama, llama, llama, duck!>

He fails to mention his choir director is just like Beethoven; musically gifted and deaf as a haddock!

You'd just blow something up.

Maybe you need to change the sheets out there as well. As far as you being cracked up, maybe it's the pickles.

You need acetylene and you buy pickles. I certainly don't know why she gets mad at you.

Morning all. Eric, you better wave this time or I'm stopping by the house.
