Just thought I'd pipe in here and let everyone know that I'm still kicking. From the last time we talked, the oil biz has taken a turn for the worse. When u guys see cheap gas prices, that means we're not doing too well . Getting a few computer-repair jobs, here and there, but still not enough to pay the bills. Having to sell stuff to keep afloat these days :/. Also wondering if Pete ever got the LC-Phaser working? If so, how is it playing? Also, I haven't forgot about shipping u the GEMTRONICS rig, Pete. I just can't afford to ship the damn thing! :/ Anywho, big shout-out to all u guys, and hope your days are brighter than mine! 73, Randy

Sorry to hear about the oil biz. But even if the prices have dropped, the demand shouldn't have, so I would think the work should still be there, even if the profit margin has shrunk. The bad news for you then, is that the prices for oil don't appear to be rising anytime soon. With Iran getting back into the market, and Saudi Arabia damned and determined to hold on to market share by keeping their output high, it means a glut of oil, and low prices (yea for us).

With Iran getting back into the market, and Saudi Arabia damned and determined to hold on to market share by keeping their output high, it means a glut of oil, and low prices (yea for us). Sure, the structure for refining and the actual production of a well is still in place, and this is known as the "production" side of the oil biz. Unfortunately/Fortunately, I work in the "drilling" side of the oil biz, and that section is pretty much shut down. There are some wells being drilled by small "Mom and Pop" companies, but they usually keep to themselves and have small crews that they've worked with for years and years. That, and only their friends get offered those jobs. Pretty cliquey affair. Not to worry, though -- I'm sure I'll find something . 73, Randy
