Rig Move!

We just finished a rig move, the last one during hot weather. I started this job late in life, and when we move the rig I feel like I'm older than I really am. I got home on Tuesday, and I have been so tired I've felt drunk and delirious for the past two days.

I like rig moves however. I get to work with different crews, and I learn more about how the rig works every time. My driller kept telling me how much better I have been this time. He says, he can tell that I'm getting better every day. I told him that my goal was to be his best hand withing a year.

The only thing that really got to me this time is my left arm. I seem to have strained something in either my forearm or elbow. I'm sure it will be better by the time I go back.

I should receive my new PDA today. I am going to get a keyboard with it so I can create Word files, and write my blog entries while on the rig when the ideas are still fresh.

Enjoy the cooler weather...I sure will!
