Same old thing CapeB. Just driving home now. Suppose to have a couple more days of tire dragging but i drove part way down a trappers access road tonight so i might be ****ed. See what the consultant says today. Oh well. Im about 3 minutes from where i saw at least 100 elk about 11 hrs ago. Just waiting to snap a pic for u guys. Lol

TOP DOLLAR! nice, but tough work.

[capetown]

Im sure in most cases it is tough work but not what i doing. Im just helping out a friend on my days off. He owns the machine. He gets 2 grand a day to run it. 4 grand right now because of the double shifts trying to get the frost in ground. He just cant run it at night because it would be too many hours. So right now that thing is making him 4 grand. Plus here is the kicker. Lease holders have to pay a second person 850 bucks a shift because i cant be out there alone at night. The owner ( my friend) comes out and sleeps in his truck and bill goes in wifes name. Lol. Oh!!! Plus 200 for his truck! That a 5050.00 a day. Not bad to drag old tracker tires around.

[lovbyts]

OK I dont get it. What is getting the FROST in ground?

was wondering that myself.. and that was funny as hell that Job was around within an hr to respond on a sunday morning at 0600 LOL..

[dan991]

+1... I just didn't want to post first and look dumb...

[lovbyts]

The best I can figure it has something to do with mixing ice into the ground to make the road hard when frozen for big rigs to run on?

[--->>405<<---]

i dont get a lot of ice on the ground down here in good ole savannah ga!

[East Coast Kid]

Savannah, eh? I never knew that, 405. I'm up in Charleston, but originally from the midwest. I don't miss the snow one bit!

For all you warm weather people let me explain. When it gets cold out the ground freezes but depending on temp it could be 5 inches then soft ground or it could be 50 inches. In order for oil rigs to get in they need 30 inches so they dont go through. Remember that oil rigs go on top of muskeg and swamps. We take a machine with tires on a chain and drag them around. It pushes frost down building up the inches.

[capetown]

Those are small trail tires i have on there. Mainly for clearing smaller trail. I switched to 2 big tires last night while i was on the lease.

I know it's a normal day for you but that's a pretty picture for us in the south

Its nice out there. The trails that u see there are only as wide as a truck and the trees seem to touch the sky. Its always warm since there is no wind in there. There are alot of rules though. Since we are on northern land drilling oil lease, the natives have alot of rules. For example, not one bit of snow is allowed to be pushed into a tree. They have very tight guidelines which is good because otherwise we would just blast into the trees killing everything. Lok

I like both of these areas. I am trying so hard to get my gf to move down south from NY.
