This past week was great. Everything went smooth with work at least as far as my end. We almost set a record for drilling a well but missed it because the motor ended up breaking so we had to come out of the hole to change that out. Overall it was still a great well and despite the extra time coming out of the hole for the motor we still beat the previous well we drilled by a day. This ended up being a 8.6 day well. I like having really fast wells but stacking them back to back like this is going to set some high expectations. Whenever we drill a well a normal speed they're probably going to be wondering, WTF? But the best part about this week is that I get to go home again for a few days and go spend time with my wife. There's a drive-in theater that's relatively close to us and we're going to see about heading over there this weekend. I love that drive-in because even after buying food/drink and tickets it still only works out to a little bit over the price of just seeing one movie in the theater, and we get double features.

This past week has been an absolute whirlwind. My wife and I continued to move things over to the new house and then of course it was time for me to head back to work on Tuesday. I really dislike when I first get back because we drill for a day and...

The first roundup of the 2nd half of the year. I still can't believe that 2013 is over halfway over. This past week was pretty good. It was relatively easy at work with pretty much 3 days of doing nothing. Unfortunately that meant staying...

Well it was time to head back to work again. This time in sunny southeastern New Mexico. It was a fun 11.5 hour drive from my house in Houston to near Carlsbad but luckily I didn't have to drive it straight through. They paid for a travel day...
