Mainly SAR, but I have the occasional oil and gas trip.

I prefer being 100' below sea level than 100' above. ;)
Good to have you guys up there even though I hope never to need your services.

A dive buddy needed air evac once. Double embolism from rapid ascent , survived thanks to your colleagues.

Anders, are you on holiday here in Aus? If you are heading through Queensland, Coleman is a resident up there somewhere

My hair is a little grayer now, so I probably don't get the looks from Kate and Milla like I used to, ha, ha, ha...

A student now but really want to weld everyday. Want to learn everything about everything. Want to become a knower of all and master of none.

Hey,

Thanks for that, Craig, maybe I'll check it out sometime. And that photo was taken real close to narco-trafficking territory, in an area called Willcox-AZ, that's a surprisingly fertile valley with a good water table, which is what I was doing there, building a double-barreled steam faking mill. That pictured sight glass is actually a Pyrex pie pan from Walmart.

Otherwise, I'm currently starting to run through the first season of the series, The OA, as I've liked nearly all things Brit Marling since she co-wrote and stared in Another Earth. I've been diggin' the new Westworld series, with Evan Rachel Wood too. The second season of Scream Queens has been ridiculously funny too.

I've been watching a lot of new movies and cable series for free on the internet via 123movies.is and newepisodes.me.
Peace be with you all,

Because I am Danish ;)

Moved to the US a couple of years ago.

Nail, Sure is, I started welding when I was 17, 3 years ago :lol:

Hopefully in 20 years, I will be welding as good as some of the guys here. :)

I know, I had the same thought when I saw you were the neighbor :lol:

Got a Danish co worker over here who ordered danish stickers for some reason and he gave me one, just happened to fit perfectly on my hood :lol:

Ya know, I really miss the danish weather, I can't imagine what its like to weld in freezing weather but I can imagine it being better than welding in a hot shower :lol:

Florida is nice but the summers are brutal. Even where I am at it sometimes gets too hot to work in the shop.

OH man,

ITs gross, I am lucky to work in an air conditioned building. :lol:

Had to weld a bunch of aluminum at one of our buildings with no A/C, in the summer..... I was drenched in sweat.

Horrible.....
