• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

LNC Friday & Saturday

Hear a lot of the same stuff around here.

How often do you have guys getting blown apart while in the hole capping?

Sooo many things can kill a person out there. Fucking 8,000 lb piece of iron moving over your head nonstop, the well itself pressurizing.

Not sure what you mean by "capping".

We had a 8 lb piece of iron blowout of the hole and land on someone's head from 75 ft. Wonder he is alive. I Watched the whole ordeal. Really questioned what I am doing with my life.

Ouch. But the real question is, have you ever seen someone’s dick shot off?

They cap the well heads here in the hole.

It’s usually arms and legs that get blown off because of the pressure.

Could be one of the differences between fracking and the rigs your on? I have no clue so appreciate all you have shared.
 
What’s it about?
An old woman comic played by the actress )who was Charlene on Designing Women) Hiers a young woman in her 20s to help her write new material. Of course there is a gay couple, but the show does make fun of the young chick in her 20s in her social justice warrior was.
It’s not it’s not one of the best shows, but I killed a few evenings last week for me

You know how I read this?

“An old Charlize Therron that was in Fast and Furious 37 but she wants to lay next to me.”

I frac'ed for 2.5 yrs before this. If people are getting blown up, it is probably due to iron rigged up wrong or the iron not being inspected. The company I worked for had a 3rd party inspection done every 6 months.

Also, only 1 person, the "line boss", is allowed in the high pressure area. Usually just a walk in/look/walk out.

Believe it or not, driving to and from location is statistically the most dangerous aspect of the job. Guys fall asleep at the wheel....
