And you've thought long and hard about this, and you can't quite figure out why he was so mad?

Change places with him. Would you be mad?

I have some leads on a couple of jobs. One of them isn't oilfield related. my father-in-law splices fiber optic cable. He may be willing to teach me the ropes. He mad around $500K last year. I would love to get some of that.

Robert, Sorry to hear of your job loss, it sounds like you've got some good leads on another job. My brother lost his job about 3 months ago, He found another in St.Louis Mo. Just hang in there something will open up.

My brother used to bury fiber optic cable, and he made pretty good money doing it but he also got in trouble with all that money doing stuff he shouldn't have!

Hang in there Robert. You'll find something soon.

Johnny, hope you're feeling better, and the potato juice after effects have worn off.

Ken, thanks for the coffee, but it was cold by the time I drug my behind in here!
