This is one of the last drilling rigs that I ran prior to getting intelligent and getting out of the oilfield.
Actually the oilfield went bust and I went back to school and started playing with computers. This is
where I merge those two professions; on a web page. I thank the Lord everyday that I am playing
with computers and not running drilling rigs. I did win ONE! I had one hell of a crew: Sam (in the green
hard hat) is in Deer Lodge, Montana, Steve, my brother (not pictured), is a consultant in south Texas
(he has yet to wise up), and the last I heard, Scurby (in the inappropriate white hat), was running
from the law. Good luck to each and every one of you.




UPDATE: Be sure that you get into a profession that cannot be sent overseas. I now only play with
computers for fun seeing as how my job was sent to India and I was sent packing. There's not much
call for 50+ year old programmers these days.

UPDATE: Seems like outsourcing wasn't as great as what they thought. I'm back to playing with
computers.
