Been away for awhile , just sitting on a pipeline asbuilt. Watching them pump water and break drill stems. I love this forum so much to learn and so little time.

Jump right in, the fun is outstanding but the education is even better.

The education is what I need, after almost 30 years of pipeline survey, would like to stay home and get a job at a small survey shop. Take some classes, maybe intern somewhere. No more working 2 or 3 hours at night reducing notes and getting calls from inspectors 7 days a week. It is just a little scary to take that first leap. Been saving for a long time just need to do it.

I enjoy Surveying an awful lot. I enjoy family, camping, rockhounding and a host of other things more. Make the change and enjoy life...
Welcome back, Tom

Okay, you're from Lake Charles, but were you born in Nacogdoches, by any chance?

"...in a yellow El Camino listening to Howlin' Wolf.." Beautiful lyrics.

I've seen Williams on ACL a few times maybe. Some of her music I don't cotton to very much. Some of it hits dead center and tugs at my heart strings.

I think that Lucinda Williams, like so many other notable things in life, is an acquired taste. It helps to have followed her career and to know a bit about her family in which she was the daughter of the poet, Miller Williams. I personally think that "Down where the Spirit Meets the Bone" is the best of her albums, but you may prefer "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road".
