here we are again....

hi Ken fans, long time for updates... there has been a lot happen since my last update, first is that i am the only tanker driver with my company now, the others are eather burned, or ill with some sort of problem, the one guy, we will call him will, not his real name, got burned over 13% of his body in a flash fire while cleaning out a heater treater, and the other guy, we will call hum bugsy, cause he looks like an old school mobster, on thanksgiving day he was found passed out in his truck on a drilling site, and stayed in the I.C.U. for several weeks before they could get him awake, and he will probably never drive a truck again....

i got one of my "friends" down here that i went to truck driving school with his name is Robert Dimon, and he turned out to be a very slow worker, and a very dangerous driver, he knew nothing and cared nothing about taking care of the equipment at all...." if i break it he will just buy another one" was his point of view on most everything, so after spending money to get him to Odessa, and carting his ass back and forth to work, and feeding, housing, and supporting him for two weeks, he finally lost his job because he could not take care of the equipment properly, and he spend almost 2 weeks learning a job it took me 2 days to learn.. so, if Robert ever tries to get a job driving a truck where you are....well, BE CAREFUL!

on the lighter side i had a great christmas, got lots of cool stuff, and had enough money to be able to give a little to my big bro and his family, i sure wish i could have given him more.. he has done so much for me....
and i gave chrissy a really nice watch, it was not what i had ordered her, i have still not gotten the ordered items in yet, i think the lady i ordered it from may have just taken my money, almost 200 bucks, it was a very beautiful set of diamond ear rings for chrissy, but i got her a purple face watch, her fav coler, with only one diamond on the face, it sure looks good on her, i hope she likes it, it pailes in comparison to what she get me... man, i made a haul... hahahahaha.. i got a set of 1-inch sockets for my really big impact wrench, an auto darkening welding helmet, that has made welding fun again... it is really cool, it had blue flames on it, and to top it all off i got a $50.00 gift card to Harbor freight, HTTP://WWW.HARBORFREIGHT.COM
and got me a 14 inch cutoff saw i had been looking at... james got me and chrissy a web cam, mine is really fancy, it will track you around the room, and it has little addons to your pic like on yahoo messenger you can add things like glasses, and horns and you can amke yourself an avatar, and it will make the avatar move with your movements.. its really cool, but i think chriss' we cam has an actual better picture than mine!!!!

on the sad side of things.. i have not gotten to see brian at all for christmas, so i am debating the possibility of opening up a can of worms by filing against brian's mother....

but anyway, long work hours comming up again this week, with me being the only water hauler its gonna be a long few weeks, no rigs or frack this week, but it is gonna hit me hard next week for sure... one of those take the bed roll weeks!!!

see you kids after that!!!
