jrw159, Your are right. but I am still like everyone else. I do have a life besides work. My phone rings now till 10:30 at night. I have even had guys come to my camper at 10pm at night. If people would use a little common courtesy sometimes it would be nice. Beleive me I have heard every question possible. I have had guys ask for a Draw before they even Test! I have been ask how many rainouts I expect this year on the Job. I could not resist Telling the guy that I would call Mother Nature and see if I could get an advanced forecast. I just happen to know thw President of XTO energy.( Fort Worth Division) But I wouldnt call him late at night or go to his house to ask for a job. I have had an Office phone installed and I will post the number tonight. I have a secretary that will answer all question. I will post the Number later today. Thanks for all your replys and YES I am still needing welders. I was told yesterday that it is even possible that within two weeks I will start a night shift. I have saved every e-mail sent to me and I am hiring from them.
The Office Phone # is 325-597-4679 Mon - Fri 8-5
About that draw, am I getting it or not? :)
Sorry Catsusthewelder I couldn't resist.
I have given draws to newhires but after they pass the test.
You are correct, the late phones call and visits get old and IMO would not put them at the front of the list.
Cactus,
I hear ya partner. Sorry if it sounded like I was poking at you, that was not my intent. I can tell FULL WELL what you are dealing with, just from this forum, let alone the things not discussed that we all know happen in this line of work. You, my friend, deffinatly have a full boat right now. BUSY, BUSY. :-)
Keep up the good work,
jrw159
You never said what mother nature told ya we need this kind of info cactus stick with the program lol how in the world are you suppose to know this lmao when i was building rigs in encinal they told us to get out the umbrellas we dont rain out so a rain coat and umbrella it was
well what i was told last week we were putting 1/2 plate on the bottom of the subs in a downpoor "those of you who have slickers get out there and get to work, those of you who dont have slickers get out there and help them" its pridicuments like that that make you invint funny ways of putting your rod in the stinger
That's funny!
I always place the rod on something and then grab it with the stinger.
I've had enough shock therapy to last a lifetime.
I hear ya I got plenty of shock therapy today.

sorry to here about ryder yea i have been out in a rig up yard 7 12s so i have been out of touch didnt mean to open any wounds i apologize i hope you get better so you can get back out thereive thuroughly enjoyed this last week around the house getting caught up on everything i think me and the girls are going to korea after the first of the year go be with mamma she said the army bases hire civilian contracters to weld on armor plating to hummer and abrams and stuff going to fly over there for a week and take a look around see what i see if you feel up to it i got this old 69 red face that needs to be gone thru hollar at me if you feel up to it
explain gone thru everybodys version is different i'm not much on engine overhauls but i coulds get it done no wounds opened just something ya gotta deal with it suks but it's getting easier
might be engine over haul it smokes like a freight train but it doesnt use any oil someone said might just be carb need to get faceplate from stumfs and find a hood prob put upgrades on it check over the generator part make sure everything is fine and in working order i welded with it a little its got the old twist n lock plug on it like to change that out bunch little stuff i could do but dont have the time i would like to have it as a back up
what color smaoke white is oil black is fuel have to do some searching for a good hood the plug is easy upgrade? which 1 pc board or grind ease you want paint or not i hear stumphs is best place for face plates got any pics of it you could send
the worst part of that was trying to cut holes in the end so it would drain unfortunatly it was already water tight and holding water my rig isnt set up for underwater welding you couldnt cut from outside cuz it was down in the mudtrying to push the water back and use work shirts to hold it back long enough to get a hole popped thru ahh good times man i saw guys putting there rod in between there arm pits man if it did light you up that would be a sensitive spot i just try to hold it flat on my palm and hope for the best **** even when its not raining when it is 105 and 100 humidity your clove fills up with sweat and you still get bitcouple weeks ago i was emptying sweat out my clove every 15 min just ringing wet like i dunked them in a bucket
