OT - What are you doing right now?

DoubleEgger

Pissed off that my flight was delayed causing me to miss a connection and an ensuing 11hr layover. Now, $250 later, I'll be cruising 4.5 hrs in a Ford Transit through Minnesota rather than sitting in an airport. #deltablows #herdingcattle

That sucks Michael!  It'll all be worth it in the end brother.  Safe travels.

I loathe Delta.

I avoid Delta at all costs.  I had a run with them where 50% of my trips had a cancelled flight, lost luggage, missed connection or some other ridiculous event, none of which were weather driven.

As a frequent traveler....I will say that travel in general sucks. The air carriers each have some minor advantages.....but at the end of the day....flying sucks these days in my opinion.

Go by boat if you can.

Unfortunately you are a slave to Delta when you live in Atlanta.

Just made the Mrs & I Old Fashioneds, getting ready to fire up the egg.

LOL......good one. Got a note from the boat owner today with a manual and contact info to reach out to them direct.

Enjoying my new ceramic teeth.

No, but at my age a 90-day warranty may be a better deal.

This makes all of the travel BS fade away...

No photography/fun stuff tonight.  

Just a hard deadline for a quote.  What @SGH is laying on the ocean bed, I'm supplying the electrification equipment to process and pump it.  Not only big oil companies, the natural gas market is splitting open right now.  America is the Saudi of natural gas.  Getting tons of quotes for huge LNG companies.

So much fracking work to do!

Glad you're busy my friend.  Break off some and spend time with your awesome wife and daughter.  Can't get these years back brother.

Sadly for me, most of it is in the natural gas arena. Oil (more especially subsea) is declining fast. When Thunder Horse hits the sea floor, there are no more scheduled subsea main lines to be built until 2018. It's looking real grim for me. All the majors have cancelled production of farther main lines. In July, Deep Gulf Energy will lay "Odd Jobs" in the Gulf and in August we will lay "Thunder Horse". Then it's a done deal my friend.

Exxon surely has more work in the hopper right Scottie?  Economy is good, clearly not for oil and gas, but in general.?

Seeing mostly LNG stuff these days, but just completed a big quote for Exxon Friday. 

Job tonight is for cryogenic company,  Air Liquide.

As a whole they have a good deal of work. But the problem is I work in the subsea division. The subsea division is dry. There is almost no chance of me transferring to another division.

The seas will part and with your expertise there will be work my brother.  If the Exxon thing doesn't work out, I'll tell you, I could give up my day job and we'll open up a BBQ place that Aaron would want to visit.

I've been doing my best to create demand.  My Aprilia like to guzzle gas, unfortunately (fortunately) it's way more efficient than anything I have on 4 wheels.  Stay thirsty, my friends.
