Are these the red splotches in my etoh extracted oil?

I have winterised oil before after extracting and redissolving in alcohol and freezing but these waxes appear white to translucent.

Wondering what the red fraction in my oil is.
The anthocyanins present both have more color and exhibit the Beers Lambert effect, where one layer is light yellow and transparent, while more layers rapidly become dark red amber and opaque.

must be a rig from down south(no wind boards). Nice lookin. Sorta had to laugh at the cages @stairs...we never had that. Of course, we sorta gasp looking at old floor hand pics, too. Back in the days when the chains were 'really thrown', ha.


I learned the tongs and chains as a greenhorn on a 28 year old rig built in '59 that had been shipped up from Mexico and owned by Progressive Drilling .
Ended up slinging on a brand new rig from a Canadian company .. Thompson Drilling ..

that driller asked me to water the shiv in the derrick and after shimmying up he knew I had no height issues .. so I became a derrick man


very dangerous that first rig

Here, worms got to water the crown, ha. More than once, hubby had to help someone down...usually they were leaving claw marks all the way. Almost all the family was oilfield, and usually worked on the same crew. Once, we gals were taking a hot supper out to an 'unknown to us site', it was dark, we could see the rig, just couldn't see a road out to it, ha. So, in the dark, over frozen summerfallow, hot food and the pies (not cherry) and us just a bouncing all the way... The guys loved it. Ah, the days before gps...not that it seems to work so good, even now.

One of the rigs was so damn dangerous (worse than most, even back then) they called it the 'widow maker'. It was baaaaadddd.
