    The uncle part is funny but not funny. The mental picture is very funny. As far as the wood shop incidents, did you save any in a jar and use it as a visual teaching aid?

    Oh it was funny because my Dad used to use his fingers as a teaching moment on me and my brother. Was around 4 and 6 years old when I can remember that happening. Always messed with him over that and he was a good sport about it as well. Both Dad and Uncle was WW2 vets. Dad retired from the Navy did 25 years and Uncle did 10 years and was a police officer. When they got together they would drink a case of beer a piece like it was nothing and then break out the whisky. Funny my Dad never drank much unless he was around his brother.

    And yes I did have some good pictures of the fingers and the hand that I had posted next to the machines. After the first couple happen I felt like a pro dealing with the people and getting them medical treatment. Got so used to it I was able to get pics before was off to the Hospital. Ha Ha

    We had a butcher that was missing some tips. My dad messed with me over it when I was very young. The guy was so nice but I was afraid of him and his “weird” hand LOL

    On another note I do have a little bit of a messed up pinky finger from smashing it in the hydraulic torque wrench and a nut. Was rigging down a coil tubing unit and got my finger stuck while in the man lift by myself. Had to turn the wrench around and loosen it up. That was a tricky thing to do considering it was at a Conoco site and they watch everything. Somehow I managed not to get caught and not shut down the site for an injury. ha ha

    I do believe if I had any sort of nub I would use it to pester anyone and everyone. Especially my kids and definitely the girlfriend. They would hate it and I would never get tired of doing it.

    We were rigging up to set a packer for Oxy back in 2012. They grabbed our flange and set it on the well with their tugger. Then they unscrewed the lifting cap, and left it just sitting there on top of the flange to protect the well from anything falling in it.

    When we grabbed the lubricator and got it vertical over the wellhead, the wheels tapped that lifting cap, and it fell off. I had my hand on the well, and it fell three feet and landed on my hand. Squirted my finger right off into my glove.

    I was on a two weeks on, one week off schedule. We shuffled my schedule so I went on days off immediately, and that week off was enough for me to get surgery and go back to work, so there was no "lost time" incident. Then I went back to training to run a truck, which was very low impact work (no pun intended) for the next three months. While I was gone, Oxy said they witnessed me drop the cap on myself, and I got the blame for it.

    But hey, I made $1,900...

    Two surgeries, no pain pills, and I scheduled every appointment for my days off, because I thought I was riding for the brand. I had an appointment for the rater, and decided to skip my days off and work, because they needed help. That pissed off the doctor, so they set the next rater appointment, and said it was important, and I didn't have a choice. It was on a day on. One of my managers after all this told me I really should be trying to schedule these things for my days off....

    Halliburton. The oilfield is a machine that keeps going no matter what. We had a tool come off and spear a guy through the neck and kill him. We were back out there the next morning logging the well with his blood still on the ground.

    I know all about it. Worked for Multichem (owned by Halliburton) for almost 5 years. They regretted making me a manager as I went against the grain of every stupid policy and also stood up for what was right, not what some pinhead “thinks” happened.

    Heck I rolled a truck into a creek and could have drowned. It wasn’t Halliburton. Just like that the District Manager became an accident reconstructionist and told me what happened. Not what I know happened and what the pictures clearly showed. I got hot over that one.

    Unfortunately doing for the good of the company is never gonna work out when they are a large company. If you had done it where I worked at they would have loved it and ate it up. Small company in the Oilfiled are good in some ways and others very dangerous. Ha ha
