Found some cool work-related pics...

[mountain muscle]

Getting ready for work today I found a site with some cool pics from the patch.

Let's hope my rig never looks like the ones in the first section, unless it gets really cold in the canyon.

Notice the rigs burning seem to all be in Canada...hmmm.

you and wootoom should do some business together

damn the one going down in Brazil...holy shit.

Damn some asses to be kicked for some of that shit. I've been on that Trailblazer #6 rig when I was up in Alberta three years ago. Been on a few Nabors and some of the other's like Patterson(was on one over x-mas).

That one where Nabors got kicked while tripping would just suck huge cock.

Bet you it gives you that warm fuzzy before you go to work...

Nah, but it does remind you to watch your ass, do your job, and watch your buddies backs. It's a dangerous business working on rigs, but it's fun too.

Yeah, on every team there is a "fuck up."

True that's why those people don't normally last long on a good crew. Or they end up dead in the patch.

We had two rigs burn down about 10mi from my parents house a couple of years ago. Both burned in about a weeks time, and both were nabors rigs. I think one was a blow out and one was a malfunctioning fuel valve or some such. You could see the glow on the horizon from their front door.

Doesn't sound familiar, I just worked on my first nabors rig back in october so I am not too familiar with them yet. I know they bought canrig and are converting most of their triples into top drives.

That's what I mostly work on, though for a 5 month period there it was all big-rig stuff. Were all of his rigs in Canada or did they do some work in the states as well?

do you think you could of drilled that asteroid like they did in armageddon?

I am pretty sure I could and will explain how as soon as you can give me a logical explaination as to why an asteroid, made up of ferric oxide, contains methane in space. Methane is a product of plant decomposition. Last I heard, plants have trouble growing in space on an iron asteroid.

Hey Scots and Wootom.

How's everything going? Just got off morning tour on SST 53. Warmed up to 13 degrees this morning after the wind. I get to work motors for now at derrickhand pay and get to straighten out our derrickhand until the new top drive rig shows up. Should be fun
How's work going for you two?

MM- Damn dude I was rocking my SST hat on friday. Spent some time on Rig 88 up in the red desert. Work is going pretty well, just sitting in the office waiting to get released to head south of Amarillos TX. They've whipstocked and are going directional to core(fucking doglegs) back on vert. Just got back from Buffalo WY on a single, which was weird since I've only been on triples recently, this thing looked like a playtoy.LOL, you would have laughed your ass off on one of the hands jackets someone wrote "Worm 19" with a pink grease marker. Keep you hands out of the belts, and your toes out of the ice bro.
