I was pressed into service today to haul a load of OCTP out to the well sites. Waiting for the load to be made up I drive the Kenworth to a nearby SC to kill time with lunch and some…

Sitting in my truck watching rigs chew stone is boring so I spent some wasted hours re-reading my old posts on tuscl. OUCH!! When I started posting on tuscl I was so naive it was painful. Then I was pompous…

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…

I posted a discussion on Canada-US SC differences a few months ago: what is legal in Canada can be illegal in US. A significant difference in the SC cultures in the two countries is the difference in the prostitution laws…

I just filled up my car for probably the last time this winter in France. The equivalent price was just over $9.90/gal(1.88 euro/litre)!! Events in Libya have hit gas prices in southern Europe. It is not all gravy for oil…

I am coming back to North America at the end of March and I have about a week to kill before I get back into my old business. I have excellent local knowledge about Toronto and Detroit, and I will…

My winter vacation and the accompanying divorce from my North American SC hobby has had me musing on this subject. In my real life before retirement (but soon to be resumed) I was a player in the Western Canadian oil…
