    Pull your toque a lil tighter and suck it up ;) That's why you do Mexican holidays in spring on breakup. Less of a shock to the system when you come back. H/H flame retardant heavyweight and a good hardhat liner some good insulated boots and your GTG.

    Hey jamesg, what job are you doing that you do not have to be out of the truck too much? I though with fracing you would be outside a lot?

    He drops frac balls. So he sits inside til a stage is complete. Then he goes outside for 15-20 minutes drops the next ball and goes back inside for an hour or 4. Kind of like a gopher popping out of his hole

    Lmaoooo nitrogen, I resemble that comment! We've got the customers adjusted now so that we load during last sand stage close to spacer and then launch so I am only outta the truck 5-10 mins now ha ha!

    this morning woke up in high level, -37, head down the road, broke down, bomb started the truck by towing with a pickup, drive to gp, switched trucks, messed around a bit there now in edson... And only -15, but saw some bad smash ups, gibsons trains west of valleyview and a van hauler west of white court, there's some slick roads out there.
