The judge tells a Roughneck, I’ve decided to give your ex-wife 300 dollars a week. Thats more than fair judge” the roughneck said. I’ll even try to kick a little money of my own.

All my guys are looking forward to taking off. We have had a hot long summer, I,ll be on call all weekend and monday to cover and problems. I try to work my problems employees on the weekend to keep them out of trouble. We’ll see who shows up tuesday and who is in jail.

Man everybody is comming out of the wood work, offering land for sale, the place next to me is trying to sell, the gal behind my ranch wants to sell, the property next to my goatneck land wants to sell. Too bad I don’t have any moneys. The beating we took at Ritchie Bros, and losses on fuel sales, (one company still owes us 90,000) has put my land buying on hold. Oh and all prices are double, 2 years ago, it was half what people are asking.

When aiming at the future try to look past daily road blocks, you must first define your long term goals(where do I wish to be in 10 years) then aim not at that but, beyond that, example in ten years I want my house paid off, thats good but would add zero credit card dept. We all have options on our future some may not think they do but everyone can change their situation for the better. Or at least change it so they are happy. You know like putting yosimite sam mud flaps on your toyota prism.

You know you take a kid, keep his ass out of jail give him a job, teach him everything you know, because he dont know squat. And the first job offer that is slightly better that you are paying him he jumps ship, I hope he uses what I thought him wisey, if he does the sky is the limit. He still green and his new employeer will take advantage of that. O well such is the life in the Oilfield.
