That kind of work will make an old man out of you fast.

Ya know, if that team was all ladies, you could make millions selling tickets and beers…

DUNNO, HAVE YOU SEEN SOME OF THESE BULL DYKES???
OH, YOU SAID LADIES
21
Looks like they’re coming out of the hole, laying down drill pipe. That’s not as much fun when it’s -40 below outside.

I had several cousins back in Oklahoma that were “ROUGHNECKS” It’s brutal work alright! I does make you old before your time!
Now BULL DYKES might just prosper in that atmosphere!

The only jobs women generally get in places like these or on big construction sites are flaggers or truck or equipment drivers.

I see about a million ways to lose some fingers, or your life. Not for me, I don’t care how much it pays.
Looks like a good job for the “Squids”. Get rid of all of them in one shift when they stick their heads in where their hands should be,

Not today. I just got my nails done.

Need more of that oil drillin’.
DRILL BABY DRILL ! TRUMP WILL DO IT.

Imagine pulling that drill string when there is twelve thousand feet of it to take apart just like that. Just to change the bit. Then it goes back down the same way.
15
OK, I’ll stop complaining about my job that I thought was too rigorous.
14
I know some female CNAs that are built like linebackers that could do it just so long as they cut their hair shorter. I’d hate to see someone get scalped.
Me, I’m a tad on the runty side and have a profound respect for the laws of physics.

In our Fire Dept. we had a gal that wasn’t a dyke, but her dad was Dep. Chief and she went up the ranks fast, mainly because she didn’t have the upper body strength for a hose so they made her an Engineer, but she wrecket too many rigs. So guess what, last time I saw her she was a CAPTAIN! Isn’t that how it’s suppose to work?

I hope they strike gold.

Roughneck humor. What’s so great about working on drilling rigs? Dope comes in 5 gallon buckets, joints are 30 feet long, and there’s a pusher on every rig.
14
Pipe dope = thread lubricant for the treaded connections
Joints are 30 feet long = the average length of a joint of drill pipe is 30 feet long
Pusher on every rig = the highest supervisory role on the rig is a toolpusher
Figured I better explain.

Joe6 is a little shy. In case you don’t know our very own Joe6 made a career out of this. In Alaska. Sub zero temps and white privileged bears. No thanks you crazy M Fer, LOL. I just got my nails done too.

Rosie O’Donnell, get your fat, worthless, privileged, bull dyke, commie ass out there and show them what a real man can do.

My cousins were roughnecks. From my cousin Tom’s obit: He started out as a roughneck and later ran the air drilling for Froman Drilling, as well as oil well fracturing, which aptly suited him as he loved explosives and blowing things up.
His brother had a rep as the toughest guy between Helena and Canada. They were hard as a pine knot and weren’t to be fucked with.

One thing that most people don’t realize, unless you’re just competitive as your general nature, is that drilling crews and roughnecks are as competitive as any team of performers. Granted drilling crews and roughnecks don’t get any kind of notoriety, but I guarantee those guys expect to set performance standards every time they are on the floor. The rigs I was on, we always checked the times that the other crews performed their job. Our crews set records. No doubt they’ve been beaten, but it was competition nonetheless. I could tell you stories!

” I could tell you stories!”
I’m all ears. I love this stuff.

One of my sons roughnecked for a year on a triple stacker rig up near Corsicana, Texas. He got into the best shape of his life and managed not to lose anything. He works in the semiconductor industry these days.

I remember getting a new driller, I was the derrickman and my best friend was the motorman. Our new driller was was new to the rig and was completely dependent on us to run a rig move from one well to the next. And by the way the new driller became a long time good friend of ours. Anyway, for some reason, between Alan and I we had the Teamster rig movers not communicating well and we had these union truckers helping us complete the rig move in just over 5 hours. That was the end of 5 hour rig moves, the Teamsters made sure that never happened again. Our new driller gave Alan and I all the freedom we ever had after that, and we delivered good work. He was a hard headed son of a gun. He swore he could drive his rear wheel, 2 wheel drive pick up anyplace a 4 wheel drive truck could go. He would not back off that position. He was a rode hard, put away wet, rodeo cowboy, and a couple times came back to work after a bit of a bar room fistfight. If you’re ever looking to hire a hard working guy, and you can hire a rodeo cowboy my recommendation is to hire the rodeo cowboy.

joe6pak,
I’m curious, what would that job pay these days?
And no, not seeking employment, I’m reasonably fit, but 64.
I’m not sure what the pay is now. My last year was in 86, we were making $23 an hour, time and a half over 40 hours a week. We were working 12 hour days, 7 days a week so we had more overtime than we had straight time. When I was young and single it was a great job, then I got married and had kids so being away from home wasn’t what I wanted. It was fun for a while.

No thank you.
@Beachmom – although they aren’t always best at that!
