Where is everyone #5

Yes 4” x 20’ drill steel. You mentioned lattice Derrick you were around, must have been a turn table rig, most use a lattice style derrick since there’s no torque twisting up in the derrick like a top head drive rotary.

This is a Winter Weiss rig setting at my kinfolks place. Turntable style that uses a Kelly bar to turn the drill steel. Sadly he never got to finish it before he got sick….

 

We merge. Was a turntable and only used tower to pull/add/remove stem... Drill some, stop, reset, do it again. Water/sludge flushing out the top of casing spilled down and ditched off to side to a dug pit. Intake there to pump feeding the head, recycling as long as daylight and gas in tank...

 

Bet someone saw you. Good you did not pull over and stroll off into the woods to take a leak.

 

Prolly be easier to jus bring you a box; next morning delivery, styrofoam, microwave.... Feet under yo own table...

 

I wish we got good snow

 

May get a surprise wish granted, what with the strange weather now. Have you got the shop heat lined up and ready. That is he best way to stave off a cold spell.

 

Got my rocks off in Boise. Get loaded here in Oakley and head back to Carbondale

Oakley Stone?

I did some dozer work for them in the early eighties. No idea if they're still in business or not.

 

I knew the story and I knew he shot himself on the Natchez trace, but I didn’t know we would be going right by it. Totally by happenstance
