On the logging road we stopped and chained up one of the trucks. I got to spend my new year's chaining up a logging truck (no, not tree logging...well logging). Got out there and found out they actually weren't ready for us...the company man was just assuming their testing would go according to plan. We headed back to our hotel, arrived at 230am and I got some sleep, expecting a call at 5am or so to come back out and do our job. Call never came and I woke up at 9am sort of confused. Made a call and apparently they don't need us now until this afternoon at the earliest.

Gotta love the oil biz.

Anytime you can get paid for sleeping is a good way to celebrate! We had a bad snow storm that day I worked a 1/2 of day then we ate in and I went to play on the PC. I looked up from reading stuff on the PC and noticed it was 2 am so I was up but I missed it anyhow! Happy New Year.

After the ball dropped, the wife and I headed home, it was past our bedtime. There is something about 11PM that makes it hard to get past.

Wife got bored and tired and went to bed around 11:15 when the dvd ended. I stayed up until 12:30. Yahoo!

I had a group of friends over, we broke in my newly constructed kegerator, the guys went out for a smoke (CAO LX2

) at about 1:30 and the ladies all passed out. we stayed up till about 4am playin cards. I spent the next day holding down the couch w/ a bottle of asprin.

I made it to 1 AM. Didn't go out, though. Bars here don't let old men like me in them. If you are familiar with Louisiana liquor law history, you'll understand what I mean.

Stayed up 'till around 1:00am, fired 6 shells from the 12 guage, (into the ground, of course), drank a few more beers with my Shark, and off to bed.

Had to get up early for the last day of deer season.

Friday night? That was a different story

Back to the old days, someone broke out a beer bong, and I had to show them how it works

I think I wandered off to the camper around 5:30am!

Always shoot your shotgun straight up, as vertical as possible. It's awesome when the pellets shower down on you. Just make sure it's bird shot and not buck shot.
