It's supposed to get to about -2 early next wk here Perry. I cleaned all the snow off my deck off yesterday then we got a dusting of snow overnight.
That`ll keep you occupied for a bit John.
I got quite a bit done but got sick of doing it, too hard on the shoulder and neck so will wait until a warm day in the spring and jack it up outside and used the pressure washer..

Between lower prices and the push to eliminate jobs by using drone trucks and taking away the human factor during the refinement process there's little hope for cowboy employment as even the seismic part of the industry is being better serviced by technology. There's fastly becoming no reason to hire a flunkie to traipse down a cut line and screw up his job by not hooking up caps or sensors because they're to impaired to remember what they are doing. There's next to no manufacturing here as quality control needs to be maintained and you need people that show up everyday, the only ones that are willing to do that are migrants that are grateful for the opportunity to live in Canada. Maybe we can get them into a caravan and send the cowboys south like a cattle drive, Trump won't mind because they're white and have their own MAGA hats already.

I'm doing the auction tonight but its online so it is really boring, everyone has a # instead of a face so I don't know who I'm bidding against.

I wrecked my shoulder wrenching underneath the Grand Marquis to get the engine out and transmission out 3 wks ago John. My shoulder is slowly getting better but everything is on hold for a while now.
I hate online auctions Perry, it would take something very interesting for me to ever bid on line.
