The only time we can't take pics is if we are on a hole that no other company can know about. We technically aren't allowed to have our cell phones either but no one cares.

It's not too crazy, I work with pretty heavy stuff but haven't gotten hurt other than a pinched thumb.

My brother.

Ive worked at a gas station, tire shop, garage, and dealership. This is by far the best job Ive had. Exceptional pay, awesome hours, great scenery and far from home.

Shadow: It was swollen and tender for a week. My tool push put me on light duty(leasehand) but I refused. Ive played basketball in high school with a rolled ankle, pain doesnt bother me unless I focus on it.

If I was close to home I would be working 8 hour shifts instead of 12s. And close to home means about 3 hour drive, not 8-9 hour like I am now.

You mean more money. I was off from April till July. We probably only have about 3 more days left on this hole, the drilling company was bidding on 4 1200m holes but we still dont know if we got them or not. If we do get them that means I have another 24 days of work.

I would much rather work 12 hrs everyday than 8 hrs Mon-Fri.

I still need to buy some more parts before the M112 can go on. LCA's, air intake, plugs, wires, belt, UDP, etc. I want to get as many parts as I can for the suspension as well so I can take a week or 2 and go mad installing parts. I may get a Sniper Special Forces so I can tune the car enough to get it to the dyno, I dont really wanna pay VMP for the M112 tune.
