    I'm definitely excited about the week off to scrap. Last oilfield job I had I used to get lots of brass valves from my pumper that weighed 10 to 40 pounds a piece depending on what diameter pipe I was repairing at the time. if this job produces any scrap though it will be more likely to be iron due to the nature of the job but oilfield iron is HEAVY. I agree mike. Before I scrapped and had a family I've had periods of unemployment and you can defeat yourself mentally after so short a time. After a few weeks of laying around its easy to lose motivation or to become nervous about the process of going and getting a new job. When I went in I wasn't as presentable as I was planning to be if they called but that is because I had to get there fast. Thank God I hadn't been cleaning compressor stators. I had just the right amount of dirt to show I was a workin man but not enough to look sloppy. thankfully I had a long sleeve to cover my tats but then saw my boss has more than me haha. Still, to any kids out there without ink, think HARD about location and context before you get any I have 18 tattoos and regret all but 3. Alright the babys done crying so back to sleep I'm startin a 15 hour shift tomorrow a.m. Thanks for the support guys!
