When You Discover You Are Not The Man You Used To Be............................

Today I was touring the three well sites on the go for my new venture. I get to the third site only moments after an accident (roughneck had a fall) and the toolpush says if I want to suit up he can keep drilling until sundown instead of shutting down for the day. I readily agree and spend the next five hours rolling pipe, shoveling mud, and wrapping chains. I just about died! When we stopped for the day, I staggered to my F-150 and collapsed on the back seat.
Two years of soft living has rendered me absolutely useless for this sort of labour. I shall restrict myself to repair welding or trucking if I am needed in the future. I have long recognized my status as a PL in the SC world but now I have the same status in the world where I used to be King Shit.
My life really really sucks now.
Got something to say?
