Seen it all JB..... From the rig floor to the conference room... Gotta keep your perspective on where you wanna be in 5 years. I can kill it now and get disability or watch my superior F*#@k it up and shrug my shoulders and be leading him him in 18 months... Everybody has to make a hand but you gotta come out of the ratrace with TWO hands...
Gotta Love the Drilling side of the Patch, Dont You??

Remember Blue,two friends can keep a illegal activity secret if one has a bat and the other has a wired jaw. If the one with the busted jaw is illiterate and a slow healer...but only for a short time.

Oh so true I'm keeping my little hobby such a secret my wife doesn't even know. lol I have never worked oilfield but have a lot of friends and volunteer firefighters that work in the patch. I know that some of them are getting laid off right now with a barrel of oil being so low.

Great State in which to live or distill. Figured the Houston in my signature was a giveaway.
I do downstream analyzers and controls. Did a little offshore way back when (men doing manly things in a masculine way with men), but prefer being on land.

I just hope our friendly neighborhood BATF isn't monitoring this thread too closely. It might be a way to add some names to a list.

Have fun, but don't think this thread isn't being monitored...it is.

As always, be safe, be responsible, and be discrete.

If i was so scared I worried about batf over a camping trip discussed on a forum devoted to illegal activities when camping is still legal....well...I would probably confine my posting to the Church bulletin board...lol.
