I have one-- but I I've always called it a crawler. Thanks

Buck

Ah I see. I can see where it could be called a crawler as well. I guess its one of those things.....depends on where you are from as to what you call it.

I had a "bone". With 6inch casters and made of complete plastic, that thing would skip across any damn wash bay grate i dealt with.

I thought it was a sort of a game we used to play on new recruits in the service. We'd send them for 100 feet of chow line, send them to the Chief for some ST-1's (st-ones, stones get it?), 10 feet of water line, ect. in other words send them all over the base or ship looking for imaginary supplies. Sending a salesman on a wild goose chase would be funny.

Those bones are feakin awesome! well worth the money. They make most other creepers seem cheap and flimsy.

We did those exact same things when I was a wildland firefighter We'd send rookies in search for lengths of fireline etc etc

When I went and test drove the '12 Ecoboost its advertised I think 14/21, and I commented on the Ecoboost getting better MPG and he no joke stated the following, "Yeah, man, that ecoboost gunna get you way more than that sticker there, it get you about 20 in town and can get you closer to 30 on the HWY, its crazy technology, over 400hp too". I had researched the truck plenty & just wanted to see how it felt and how smooth the tranny was - the guy sounded like he had smoked one too many trees on his breaks between customers.

Oil rigs.....


I was told to go get a " three nine line cable strecher"...

I replied "i know what that is... I left it in the pickup." then i went to the truck, locked myself in.... And took a nap

I might get rid of my 5.4L if that were true--- JK-- it's paid in full and I'm keeping it til the wheels spin off.

I had to find 100 yards of flight-line. When I got back after an hour of going from one shop to the next, my fellow RED SHIRTS taped me down in a chair with 100 mile-an-hour tape. They put my helmet and goggles on, taped a set of wands to my head, and wheeled me up to the the bow of the ship. There I was setting next to the #1 catapult, the pilots saluted me with the middle finger as they launched off the flight deck. Good times-- but I think I pee'ed myself a little the first time an F14 catapulted past me going 200 mph.

If you know what a well head is... Great.

Anyways, the service rig i was chasing all winter with as wireline truck w/2000meters of line.

Anyways, we had an impact method of perforating. In short, the rig pulls the tubing, we attach a bomb to the end of it, then put the tubing back in place and we drop a steel rod down the tubing after we put the well head back on!

So i got told to staddle the wellhead and they handed me the rod. They nicely helped me get the rod into the wellhead and gave me strict instructions not to let go of it. Anyways, the guys werent looking when i lost grip of it. I said "uh oh!". Someone asked me "what?"... I replied..." i thought i had a hold of it, what happens now?"

You want to see a group of men run for their lives... Bahahaha...

Anyways, they capped the wellhead with a guage and before i could get off... The bomb goes off.

I rode that mo fo like a wild bull until it pressured up.... My nuts hurt so much from that thing, but i knew i was going to be in pain, so i made sure that i got em first!!!!


Love the idiocy on the rigs.


I for one.... Can say Ive earned the right to complain about the price of gas.
