Roustabout forman is interviewing a hand. “For a man with no experience you sure asking for alot of money.” The hand said, “Well ,work is much harder when you don’t know what you’re doing.

A Muddlogger Wife was looking for her husband. She drove from rig to rig, but couldn’t find him. (20,000ac. lease) . It was the dead of winter. Not a good time to be lost and out of gas. She starts walking and see a Jeep on a near by hilltop. It was the Company Man using his cell phone. She asked for a ride, and explains who she is looking for. The Company man says get in but this jeep has no heat. To stay warm we would need to share his blanket. She says no problem and off they go. Before long the man starts singing, first Moonriver, then Bluemoon, followed by a long version of Blue suede shoes. Next the Jeep pulled up to her husdands Muddloggin trailer, she gets out and greets her husband. He asked honey what did you do to make the Company Man so happy? She said nothing, other than reaching under the blanket and helping shift gears. The husband said that sounds great, but all the Company jeeps are automatic!

A fellow blogger complained that my OIlfield Jokes are lame. Well I don’t see a lock on the gate to my comments sections. If you have a funny, put in up for scrunity. Thanks, OFTP2

Someone you work with shows up late on monday, means they didn’t get the other job.

We hired a new CDL Driver last week, and as company policy we had him drug tested. This is how it went. He drives his own car to the Doctor’s. Time goes by and the nurse called and said that he was legally intoxicated(drugs & alcohol) and could not leave until he had a ride. How is this my problem? I just spent 175.00 on this jurk . He got on the phone and asked me to give him a ride home and he would pay for the test(sure). So I picked him up. (Now for the good Part) as we drove to his travel trailer I asked him why he would do dope and booze and then apply for a job. (This is good) he said ever since he was abducted by a crop circle, and forced to watch videos of Kerry Von Erick feeding peanut butter sandwichs to Elvis his life has been hell. You know I wish he hadn’t failed his drug screen he would have fit right in. ps no 175.00

Well I talked with Concho Const yesterday. They think the notice to proceed will be given monday. I hope so the old bridge is low and narrow. When we move our big machines we go around fm200 and thats a pain. The old bridge will remain, but be rebuilt and updated. It’s only 3/4 mile from OFTP2 (my) Headquaters. I feel my Restaurant and Truck stop will get some business from the construction effort. The bridge links Somervell Co. to the the civilized world.

Talking to one of my buddies Bruce Munro, he revealed that they had purchased the TXU Railyard between Tolar and Granbury. This is the same Railyard TXU (back then in was TUGCO) used to build the Power Plant now operating in Somervell Co. Mercer plans to unload railcars loaded with all types of oilfield related products. Pipe, Compressors, Vessels, ect. Mercer core business is Gas pipe on location placement. The gas companys hires Mercer to deliver Gas pipe to the right of way. Then the contractor welds it up and puts it in the ditch. If you see Bruce you might ask him who told him about this railyard. (This OFT worked there in the 70′s for Brown & Root)

Well had a great time today, took my wife to see Sean Hannity@ Southfork Ranch. It was great, we saw Governor Rick Perry, Sean Hannity, Hal Jay, Gary McNamara,Ted Nugent(he turned out to be cool) and John Bradshaw Layfield. We are still surprised how nice everyone was. Rick Perry shook hands and got right in the middle of us little people. Sean signed our copy of his book, it was very cool. I told John Bradshaw Layfield one of my jokes He laughed. Well I’m headed back to Barnett Shale country. Be In Glen Rose at 6:00am see ya down there.
