Any hookups in the oilfield?

What area / rig # ?

Don't know yet, they are sending me to training first, then a temp rig, then to wherever they need me.

you'll find that most crews are mostly good dudes... if you're not a fucking idiot, they'll treat you good overall

Yeah I figured, just have to go through the expected, break in/hazing phase.

So head on a swivel huh? I'm pretty good at asking questions to figure it out. On'y problem is having people answer them for me. Hopefully I'm put on with a good crew that will show me the ropes.

Ha for some reason I see this happening.

When you're on the floor, if something is hanging, you either keep it tied off, or you do not take your hand off of it. Don't put your fingers where you wouldn't put your dick, remember to look up, and watch your feet. If you're drilling with oil base, be prepared for everything, including you, to smell like shit, forever. Do not take anything out to the rig that you don't want possibly destroyed. Take care of your tools, they'll take care of you. ESPECIALLY the tongs. Even if you have a top drive with a TM80 or other form of iron roughneck, the iron roughneck goes down and you're throwing tongs, and on a newer top drive rig the tongs usually suck, as they're hardly used except for BHA. Watch what the more experienced hands do, watch their hand placement, their foot placement, there's a lot of tricks you can pick up by watching what they're doing. Learn how to change the swabs, liners and seats in your mud pumps, not many floorhands and motormen know how to do that.

sheeeeit, I'll put whatever nav unit you want in it

no portable tuning for 13+ dodge yet

[samuel642000]

Bastid, that's the truck I'm hunting! Too bad no nav, you'd get paid today if you accepted post-dated, third-party checks.

On a fo reals note, You have any H&S tuners that will work on a 14 Ram?

Been a while since paying attention to diesel toys and have no clue if there's anything available.

[Cooter]

I've got a white '08 Queen Ranch that's in really nice shape. 133k on the truck, leather is in awesome shape. no nav, but has sunroof, etc. Just put a brand new Ford engine in it.

come on down, your payment in full is your credit!

[samuel642000]

if you have cash and get a good deal on one, buy it... otherwise stack paper till you can. JMO

but if you want to do what most young guys do when they first get in the patch and stretch your credit on a 6yr old truck, I'll gladly sell you a nice 6.4 at full retail! I've got three to choose from at the moment

Haha, option 1 is my plan as long as my current beater holds up. I like to think I'm old enough to know better, but I do know when I get one I'll be hitting you up to get a tuner/ truck if you still have some. I'vwe got the 6.4 bug really bad.

fuck it, go make you some money, stack paper, and if you get laid off, it's better than getting laid off and having no money set aside

That's true and planned on going anyways, guess I'll have to hold off on buying that fancy new to me 6.4.

[Cooter]

Well that's great, I could be walking into unemployment huh?
