98 men and two wimmen, at least we think they're wimmen. Everyone is afraid to check.

There is one hottie on that rig in Armageddon. Why not on yours? Are you a the looser rig?

Don't be too impressed. The connection sucks but email with the family is nice.

We are just coming up on Fall down here (opposite seasons and all). Instead of hot and sweaty we will go to cool and rainy. But you should see how the locals bundle up when it gets down to about 50-60 degrees. You would think they were up there with FiLtH. They will wear wool caps, gloves and thick jackets.

As far as the "looser rig" comment, you are quite right. Afterall, everything in the movies is true.

Usually a movie will insult and totally misrepresent one industry or group for the sake of entertainment. Armageddon managed to insult two industries at once (oil and space).

Working on a oil rig has some setbacks I assume, but it think you get a pretty penny for being a engineer on one of those.

79 degrees here, got the AC on, can't barely see the monitor due to bright sun.

Oh, be still my heart...

Storm, could you please email me a job application? I know all about oil and other lubricants, and if there's 98 men trapped on an oil rig, sweating in 94 degree heat, then I'll work for free.

Today there is a pale blue sky with a real bright object in it. It's also 84 degrees and I need to run the AC again. Tucson has boring weather.......

Where in Tucson do you live Mav.

Stuka,

I'm at DMAFB fam Camp (military RV park.) right now. We don't really live in Tucson any more. We sold the house last June and went full time RVing.

Private message me if you want to meet up. I'll send ya my phone number.

So it's not like that on real rigs

Then whats the attraction?
