Had an ex roommate who worked off shore.
Worked out well for me.
He worked 2 weeks on/off.
Had the place to myself for 2 weeks out of the month, and got to drive his vette, too....
ZX9RCAM,
Understood. = My Uncle Jimmy G_________ (long deceased) spent over 2 decades as an UNDERWATER WELDER for PPL in 1965-80s period. ======> The stories he told about "being way down there" would "curl your hair" BUT he made BIG bucks at 2 weeks out on an offshore rig & 3 weeks off. - Oddly, he died in his sleep at home in 1988.
(My 1st cousin William Wayne "Little Will" B________ got killed "under mysterious circumstances", that nobody in the family fully understood, in 1984 while a tool-pusher on a BP offshore rig. Also, my Uncle Larry E_________ got 100% disabled & spent his last years in a wheelchair from an accident on a Gulf Oil rig "off south LA" in 1976.)
yours, satx
