    Yes. Not too much of that happens anymore. Those rigs are few and far between.

    There's several computers. ECM, PCP, and the cab chassis controller.

    Truck 2 lost the PCP. He found one at a salvage yard.

    Finally got the new one. It's still in the box.

    Automation has made it to the oilfield too. Nabors has an auto rig in the Permian.

    Got “iron roughnecks” now. All you do is manually stab the pipe and pull the machine over to make the connection and torque it. This one calls it softnecking lol.

    So this man is 30 years old but he slept with Elizabeth. Obviously she's a Florida lizard person.
