You ever stop at the truck stop @ exit 4? I don't know if that 'Kids with gas eat free' sign is still up.

That's the TA.

I live a mile off of Exit 13. I never really get toward Mississippi.

Let's see... Car is in the shop getting final prep for the mile... Corey updated me that before he left the shop today, he intended to have the rear cradle and new fuel cell back in the car...

We opted for the Weldon fuel pump.. And we are using -12 fuel line...the factory tank with the Lingenfelter dual pumps will supply the fuel cell, and the
Weldon will supply the fuel rails... We changed out my injectors for a bit bigger ones to prevent a lean condition due to a lack of injector capacity...we changed from 93 lb/hr at 58-60 psi to 127 lb/hr injectors at 58-60 psi..

the frame work and trim for the parachute mount is finished... The anchor tube will stick out through the license plate opening...remove the plate, mount the chute, and go fast....

We are going to hook up the boost controller lines and start cranking the boost...and increase the nitrous shot size... Corey pulled the valve covers and checked the torque on the head bolts. I wanted that done prior to adding a bunch of boost...

That's what I have going on right now.... And again, I apologize... How bout you...???

I just came to this rig... This is my second hitch...imspent two year on my last rig getting every single piece of paper needed in order and properly filed...

While in Brazil on my last rig, I took part in a RASMA audit, an audit that scares even Petrobras, and didn't miss a lick... Everything they asked for was produced and handed over in seconds... They messed with me for ten minutes or so and walked away... I was happy...

This rig is in worse shape with regards to record keeping, and the auditor is following me around like a puppy asking for this and that and generally being a nuisance..he is trying to help I know, but it isn't... I also have over a hundred thousand lbs of iron to change out on the BOPs and every time I try to get started, here it comes again... So in effect, the horse is miles ahead of the cart.... They want me to do some function and pressure testing and I still have to change out an annular, the whole thing... I have to change out the wellhead connector, and a bonnet...

I am getting lots of help on them rig withmthe physical work, but no support from the office... G: drive in Houston has all the records I need but oh no, we can't have access to that...and the storekeeper on the rig is already busy as a cut worm... He has his own job....

So this auditor is asking why we can't fire an engine and pressure up the system and do all this pressure and function testing etc.

I spent much of thenday checking the nitrogen recharge which I will have to re do as we get close to the well time... I am going to have to perform these tests and then open the stack again as we get closer to the well time and then retest it twice more...

I was ready to walk off the rig earlier... One of the hazards of having a truck two minutes away in the parking lot...

I was told a week ago, a supervisor was coming to the rig to help with the office stuff, and that hasn't happened and probably won't... I was promised a stack team to help with the heavy work, that hasn't and probably won't happen...

So.... There are six chiefs on the rig and one Indian... Me...and I'm sick of being drawn in 20 different directions at once...

Man bro that sounds like a nightmare we had up north in Prudhoe when the head blew in the Gulf and BP was trying to pull all staff (laborers) for the platform. It was funny when a company who has already spent hundreds of millions of dollars pulls out and doesn't say a damn word to anybody when my outfit was footing the bill and they tell us a week later after all the shit we did! Then the kicker was they did not authorize us to perform the work we did? Hence no payment would be coming for unauthorized work!

Sure hope it get's better for you bud and at least take a breath tonight and have a cold beer!

Funny how easily you figured out the company we are going to work for... I'm stuck on the rig o no cold ones, but I am trying to relax and chill... I've worked for this company before... And in my mind they are the second worst company to work for behind Pemex...

Headed to bed... Read a book and drift off.

G'nite all...

The truck is close. How far is the nearest bar?

Damn R, sorry to hear this hitch isn't going well. Don't forget to keep it safe out there with low manpower.

The TX Mile and fun times are just around the corner.
