Real Quiet

Things are real quiet around here. I'm back in GF for the week. Today's Friday, I'll leave for Tioga on Monday. I've been well rested and loving it - I felt like garbage this last week off.
Work was great though. I worked the day shift and it was a total piece of cake. We drilled about 6,000 feet into ze ground in 7 days. yaaaaa. Great success since the bit that does the drilling at the end of the pipe had zero problems. Hence all we did was drill. What usually happens is that that bit has some kind of problem, which means that we have to take all that pipe out of the ground (called tripping out), rack it back in the derrick (tower), take off the bit, put a new one on, and then put all that pipe back into ze ground (called tripping in). So if we would have had to trip that pipe in and out, it would have taken a while since the whole time we had anywhere from 12,000 to 18,000 feet of pipe in the ground. Dahs a lotta pipe.
So when we weren't making connections (about every half hour) we were just cleaning stuff around the rig. Make money make money. Such an easy week. Really the only rough thing about the job right now has been the weather. 
Oh, and last night in the World Series there was a stolen base, which means that everybody gets a free doritos locos taco. I have 13 minutes to redeem mine. I advise you do the same. Laterrrr
