Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life, but define yourself. Harvey S. Firestone

The people with whom you work reflect your own attitude. If you are suspicious, unfriendly and condescending, you will find these unlovely traits echoed all about you. But if you are on your best behavior, you will bring out the best in persons with whom you are going to spend most of your waking hours.

Some people get spiritual because they see the light and some people get spiritual because they feel the heat!

How do you know if you're truly a servant? See how you react the next time someone treats you like one.

A Real Bad Monday

This is what we found when we showed up on location this morning



The other side


Rigging up the cranes to lower it


Lowering it down easily


Safely down, then scope it in and take it for repair and inspection


In the bottom picture you can see the tubing that was standing in the derrick when the wind hit causing it to let loose and sway. Then falling into the derrick out of the tubing board causing the rig to fall off the rig beam and nearly topple completely over. The tubing is screwed together in two joints, which will have to be unscrewed manually tomorrow to seperate them to be loaded back on a trailer.

Looks like I was real lucky. All we got was a lot of rain and a few minutes of pea size hail.
