Day in the life of...

So I just started a new Job working for an oil field service company and my life is busy. Since I have a love hate relationship with facebook I wanted to start a blog. I'll start off by saying that any comments on my grammar and style fall on def ears. I really want everyone who knows me to be able to keep up with me and know where I'm at. Yes I ended that in a preposition. So please enjoy the photos and status updates.

Currently I am in Lafayette, LA. I am finally developing some stability in my day to day life. I spent the last 2 weeks in Houston and Tulsa. My job started on March 9th in Houston with orientation. It basically was a reiteration that I am owned by the company and I will sink or swim. So far I'm swimming... treading. The second week I was in Tulsa doing light vehicle training. Part of the training was on a track where we learned how to control skids and spin out. Then last Friday I landed in my new home town of Lafayette. I'll be here till July 13th, when my 8 week school starts in Houston. That is about all I know about work. Until school, my work will consist of learning the ropes of an off shore oil rig. The coolest thing that I can look forward to is my survival course, where I'll be dunked in a water landing helicopter simulator.

I'll try and post some photos of work and my day to day. I'll start off with a shot of my new/old baby which I left in Bellingham. Its a '76 Honda CB550 Cafe Racer. I'm looking into getting a newer bike this weekend, photos to come.
