As it was told to me...

If the rig is in Curacau for two more weeks... (From over a week ago) I'll be here two weeks and the guy I'm filling in for will be back... If it isn't here for two weeks, I'll make the sail into the Gulf of Mexico...

I'm a week and a couple of days here and have no further idea right now... no one on the rig knows when we will be sailing...

So I honestly have no clue... About six weeks or more out here would be fine with me... I got a motor and cage install to pay for...

But... If I come into town, I'll certainly look you up and we'll hook up.. You know you have a place to stay if you head my direction....
Sounds like a good hitch this time around.

Been great so far... We are working with (will be) assigned to Exxon Mobil, and the company men are great, which is nice since I'm sitting and working in their office...

Maersk has a philosophy of how to treat people and it is alive and well on this rig...

Really nice people, my first Maersk rig and my first time with Exxon Mobil...

and I'm in a room by myself for the time being, hoping it stays that way... My own bathroom...

So, according to the note I got a couple of days ago... The cage should be finished... They only had the chute release handle to take care of...

I have no pics yet...

Sounds like you might have the JS Powersports piece to good use.

All my material is stolen from the real pro's ... I just change the context

My daughter is upset I never get down to Killeen to visit them, I don't know what happened to those border runs. Since oil is picking back up down there maybe they'll return... dinner would be great

I can't say all of my material is original... but an oil rig is a great place to pick up a bunch of plagiarized items...

Back in the good old days when we ran hard and worked late, truckers and waitresses had some great stories to keep us awake and laughing..... Now all I ever hear is complaining. I rarely even turn on the radio anymore.

Duck goes in a Drug Store, buys some lip gloss

Clerk says, "Will that be cash or charge?"

Duck says, "Put it on my bill."

If you had been at the mile, you would have heard this first hand... I still laugh...

A friend of mine that races out there was towing his camper trailer back from Florida where he works... He has a house in Gatesville, but works in Fl right now... so, he is coming across the Atchafalaya in Louisiana... This trailer is a triple axle toy hauler 42 foot long... He was in his dodge one ton dually... running hard... really hard... It's about two am when he passes a trucker...

He liked to have sucked the headlights out of the truck as he went by... in excess of 90 mph... truck was doing about 55...

So a few miles down the road, bout 20 or so, he needs a head visit and fuel... so he stops near Lafayette at a truck stop.. He tops off the truck tank and empties his personnel tank... There is a lone black lady working at the counter, that has Sean laughing already and a black truck driver comes walking in... older guy, really nice... He looks around... and looks at Sean... and says...

I'll try to speel it like Sean sounded it out...

Trucker...Zat you driving at dodge with the campuh...
Sean replies yes...
Trucker says, you just come'in off'in the chafalaya...
Sean replies yes,
Trucker says, That mother f#%$6er was sanging.... just fu$%ing sanging...

Sean and the lady laughed to high hell, and Sean left... WE were pretty lit when he told it and I was dying laughing... He does it more justice than I can...
