According to Ford the new Bronco will unfortunately not be 2dr. The good news is the F150 is getting a diesel.

Make sure to visit the houses during the weekend and at night when everyone is home. See what the neighborhood is like when people are actually there.

Before the lay off, I had to sometimes fly into L.A. to get to Bakersfield. Frick L.A. Unless you are staying there for awhile, the traffic is terrible. Always, always, terrible and none of those people know how to drive. I would suggest flying into San Fransisco and doing a day there, going to The Winchester House in San Jose, then heading to Carmel. Monetary is nice (I did some kelp dives there) but nothing special. Morro Bay is cool. It is were Birds by Alfred Hitchcock was spent and like a West Coast Grand Island. The cool thing is that you can watch the sea lions in the water. Hearst Castle is really awesome and not to far from the coast. Paso Robles has nice wineries and Santa Barbara is a scenic city. Los Angeles is cool and has a lot of neat stuff to do but it takes so long to get anywhere. LAX has to be the one of the worst airports. If you can do San Fransisco to San Diego, it will be a much better trip. San Diego is nice and the airport is quick to get in and out of.

re: Men who wear suits everyday..where do you buy them?
Posted by scubachris on 9/10/15 at 5:22 pm to trom83
Go for quality over quantity. A good suit made from quality material will last you longer than a cheap suit. If you grab the material and it springs with minimal wrinkling, it is a quality suit. You can get by with two suits for a week if you change shirts and ties and buy more pants. 1 suit=2 pairs of pants that match your suit. When you make for money consider getting a custom made suit.
re: recommend me a revolver?
Posted by scubachris on 9/6/15 at 12:15 am to lsu xman
I've got a Colt .357 Trooper, .38 spl. Colt Cobra, Smith and Wesson Model 49, and Model 57 in .41 Mag.
Model 49 is pretty harsh to shoot but it is very concealable.
Colt Cobra is very fun to shoot and not as concealable but it holds 6 shots unlike Smith 38s.
Colt Trooper Mark III is also fun to shoot. I usually use this if I a bringing someone out who has never shot. It can shoot .38 spl. and is heavy so it doesn't kick as much.
Smith Model 57 is a hand cannon. Fun as frick to shoot but ammo is expensive.
The only one I bought new is my Smith Model 37. Everything else was used. If you are looking to purchase one, remember that the trigger pull is going to be heavier and always have a gunsmith look over a Colt. They get out of timing real easy. TBH, I like Colt but they are kinda finicky. If getting a new gun, I prefer Smith over Ruger just because I like the old revolver look. You can go to Smith and Wesson and look at their classic line of guns. I'd stay away from the alloy guns because they will not be fun to shoot. In fact they are painful. It will take some getting use to going from a Glock to a revolver because of the trigger pull is heavier.

Maybe you should ask for a pension? I work in the private sector and am not union and I have a pension. Most super major oil companies do and I can either receive a lump some or a "pay check" plus my 401k. The promise with government pensions are that they are often mismanaged.
re: Downtown BR Bar Inventory/Needs - IMO

We don't need anymore bars downtown but we do need good restaurants. Jolie Pearl and Little Village are the only nice consistent places to eat. Poor Boy Lloyd is good but closes at 3 on the week days. As someone who live downtown, I want more places to eat.
Frankly, I hope The Office moves to Livingston Parish and City Bar opens in Port Allen so they can keep the trash over there.

It all depends on what kind of soap/cream you use and how you prep your face. West Coast Shaving has a sample pack that you can get so you can try them out.

As a deputy sheriff, Roosevelt pursued three outlaws who had stolen his riverboat and escaped north up the Little Missouri. He captured them, but decided against a vigilante hanging; instead, he sent his foreman back by boat, and conveyed the thieves to Dickinson for trial. He assumed guard over them for forty hours without sleep, while reading Leo Tolstoy to keep himself awake. When he ran out of his own books, he read a dime store western that one of the thieves was carrying.[45] On another occasion, while searching for a group of relentless horse thieves, Roosevelt met Seth Bullock, the famous sheriff of Deadwood, South Dakota. The two would remain friends for life.

Depends on where you are. I worked in Kern County and they had days were you couldn't burn anything because of the smog that rolled in from up north. Some days I couldn't even see the mountains. The distance was from the new Capitol to the new bridge.

re: Do We Have Any Tool Pushers and/or Drillers On The OT?
Posted by scubachris on 7/16/15 at 8:27 pm to redstick13
As a Company Man( recently laid off) for a major, my arse would be in a sling if one of the Drilling Superintendents showed up and shite like that was happening. Also, the oilfield is different wherever you go. In California I got in trouble for asking one of the roughnecks is he wanted me to hold his purse while he was struggling with a tool.
When I started off roustabouting for Rowan we had a lot more horseplay and meet me behind the welder's shack and we will settle this. That is pretty much none existent. Offshore you are paying millions a day to run a rig and on land it is all about saving money and cost cutting and drilling fast. The super majors pretty much tolerate no bullshite from the rig crew. They will call the Coast Guard to come pick you up or if on land they will have you escorted of lease by a cop. In Pennsylvania, I had a driller threaten to slit a roughnecks throat and stuff him down the pipe. The toolpusher, two burly rig hands and myself watched him till the sheriff showed up and arrested him.

re: $100K to spend on 2 cars. Go.
Posted by scubachris on 7/8/15 at 1:44 am to 911Moto
After the first lay-off in the oilfield, I became more responsible with my money. The second lay-off has been a lot easier because I don't have massive debt and I have some cash in the bank to wait it out. I worked with a lot of contact drilling foreman that made a lot more than I did but didn't have a pot to piss in much less the preverbal window. These guys had 6 cars and rented their homes. It made no sense. One guy bought a F250 King Ranch and spent another 20K tricking it out and this was his work truck. I'm not saying that it is bad to have nice cars. It isn't and I've had my share but my first car was a 78 LTD. Nothing fancy, unless you consider the 8 track and naugahyde, but I paid for it and it made me appreciate when I could afford a 67 Mustang paid with my own cash.
If you feel like you have to go down that road, what you are teaching your son is not the merits of working hard equals good cars. It is that my car equals my worth as a person and my dad will buy me a 40k car. It would be much better to find him an Accord that he can work on and tune. There is nothing more satisfying and educational than having looked at a project completed and said I did that.
If you must, I would go for a Honda Pilot w/ third row seating for wife. My buddy got one and he really likes it. I'm not much of a SUV guy unless it is a Bronco. One of the cars I regret selling and a Alfa Romero roadster for the son. If he wraps himself around a pole it is best done in an Italian car.
