HOWDY YA'LL

Well I reckon this is the place I'm supposed to say a little about myself so here goes:
I've been in the oilfield since Jan.1981 after a tour of duty f/ my country w/ the U.S. Air Force. I broke out on chain on a double and like most of my peers worked my way up and down.
I'm the proud father of 6 children, Paw Paw to 13 (now 16) grand kids and husband to an ole gal I can't run off with a shotgun ( might help if I bought shells )   (1-25-12  buyin' shells next days off)
I believe in the LORD, Texas, Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness and doin' a job right the first time.
I also believe that if your going to take another mans money to do a job, do the best job you can or give him a refund. (Got a few hands that owe me some money )
My hobbies are: Hot Roddin' my '93 chevy cc dually, any type of auto racing, fixin' cars and teasing the kids and grandkids
Don't be so serious all the time, laugh when you can but never whine when you cain't

Well Kirk, I've been quite busy lately with work & family. I haven't forgot about you & that cup of coffee though. My main personal e-mail address is kf5aei@gmail.com - You can get a hold of me there if this site shuts down.

I hear you man, If something pops, I'll put in a good word for you. I know you knew your stuff when I worked for you back in 1999 or 2000 and you know twice as much now. Of course, I don't know if you care for Arkansas....By the way, I have been clean since 2002 when I left Odessa and got away from Redman and all those guys like him. I heard that Him, his wife and about 300 others got rounded up and sent to prison. Good Riddens!

Hey man, to me it looks like the patch is about to bust wide open again soon. Are yall seeing any renewed signs of life there? I am Directional Drilling for SLB in Arkansas and we just got our 3rd pay-cut this year a few days ago. Everywhere I go on the internet I'm seeing positive signs. If it does start going hard and heavy again, a man can start to pic-n-choose a little.

alright thanks kirk, robinson drilling has a rig stacked in mentone, i called the office and the lady said they are hiring and fixing to bring that rig back up and are lookin for some good help. also seen on here that rigs are goin to pa from robinson and pa is the place to be. but thats all b*******, i tryed contacting nomac who is drilling up there now and they said there really isnt much, just rumors going around. but as soon as i hear more from places i'll let u know. and if ur willing to go overseas, they are looking for drillers,pushers, and company men out the a** at www.rigzone.com just search drilling. Thanks
