In lieu of complaints...

So there's this new company man out here on the rig, and I've been told that he is of the "old school" style of company man. Translation: he's a big, fat, jerk.

But I'm not in the mood to complain right now, and I'm sure that he'll provide me ample material for anecdotes of hair-pulling frustration as we work together over the next few weeks. You can hear about that later.

So instead, I'm going to post a new favorite sunrise photo that the directional driller took the other day. Unfortunately I haven't gotten to see many good sunrises and sunsets out here, since the rig is positioned where the derrick blocks my view of the Eastern sky and the living quarters block the Western sky. But we can sneak a few glimpses in and amongst the machinery as you can enjoy below.
