Feel bad for ya. Family first, petroleum will come back and you'll have better times. This country needs guys like you and everyone needs oil and gas! above all VOTE! Best of luck from shale gas country of PA.

all the in-tell I have collected shows its a good place to work and when I talked to the plant manager this morning he liked that I wanted to give a two week notice and even offered to make the start date 2 weeks after I pass background which means I won't have to quit until its a sure thing. tentative start date is middle of February and will be working w/th/f/s with three day weekends which will give me time to get projects done around the ranch. I've got several older cars that I will run the tires off while I save for a newer one. thanks for all the support and r5r maybe well run in to each other between now and then, we are the orange and grey trucks with the huge roll of pipe in the middle.

Rancher, here's hoping you can meet Selby.

The oil patch will come back. In the meantime you have to put food on the table. When the everyone will be looking for work. Denver is getting bigger. When the patch comes back, you already have the experience and there's always someone dumping something downhole.

I grew up in the western slope, boom and bust, the eastern slope has never seen a bust but without ag they're going to see one if oil drops like it looks like it will. Sounds like you already have your mind (logically) made, just need a little support.
