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
I worked as a roustabout on an offshore rig the summer of 1963. Really good pay for really hard work.

I made an offer on a used VaporHawg this morning. I don't need another recovery pump but would like to have one as an example of my art.

My design, based on a Welch BRP-1 hydrocarbon pump, and we built about half a dozen before Pharmgold closed their doors.

Morning all, chilly again this morn, or like my great grandfather would say. There's a little frost on the pumpkin this morn. I think the high is 51° so it should warm up nice. I'm very hot natured so the cool doesn't bother me. Well that is till the sun goes down, then I get cold like everyone else. Gotta pick out some beans today, I'm thinking Skywalker og x nl#5 Can't remember the other half at the moment. I'll have to look.

i remembered when i got them out and read it.

It might be easier to roll joints and carry those.
Lot to carry Brother!
I gets all sorts of hot when I see stainless steel!
