Dirtsucks 0 #6 April 17, 2001 Sorry, moosedude, there’s major flooding where I’m at here in Minnesota so I’ve been bitchin about all the water around me, but after hearing where your stuck at, I guess I should just keep my mouth shut huh?!? What’s being on an oil rig like (besides not being able to jump – I KNOW that sucks!)? Just curious.Josh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lazerq3 0 #7 April 17, 2001 Sounds to me like not jumping (out of a plane)isnt the only thing they dont get to do!! I always did think though how cool it would be to work on one of those. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zennie 0 #13 April 17, 2001 I know a guy who used to run a supply boat out to the rigs off the Texas coast (me being from Houston & all). Sounds like it's a pain to be stuck out there for long stretches but I hear the pay is pretty darn good.------------Blue Skies!Zennie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
