    I agree. The modern rigs have tongs but they are seldom used. Just for making up some directional drilling tools, but my experience is limited. Or if the iron roughneck goes down. You use the tongs and the top drive to make up connections at that point.

    If you guys remember this time last year I went to work on the rigs and came back soon after a timid, injured woman :biggrin_2559:

    It's probably not much consolation but you never really get used to it. You get used to the way it feels and sometimes that has to be enough.

    The older I get, the more I love onions. And cabbage. And I can even tolerate broccoli the last 15 years if it's cooked right. But cauliflower will always be on the no-fly list.

    My point was, I-49 is head and shoulders above any highway in the state by a mile. I have no clue what AR DOT has planned, but their are some highways in that state that need improved/replaced everywhere.

    You mean like having to pick up after yourself?
