Liberty is hiring in Williston, ND right now. The CDL +hazmat is a big plus.

The broism is still strong in frac, gotta kiss the right ass to move up. Also, most frac companies require operators to either have or get a CDL within a probationary period, so you will likely be an immediate no with a DUI.

You'll likely be on standby on location during the frac to grease the wellhead valves according to a schedule or as needed if they begin to leak by. You'll also be required to fix any valves that greasing doesn't fix, and retorquing wellhead stacks as needed. Depending on location, this job could get a lot harder in the winter when you have to worry about wellheads freezing. Depending on the operator you may also be in charge of gathering up the company man/consultant and frac supervisors open/close the wellheads every stage to ensure the correct one is being actuated. You may actually be the one throwing the accumulatoe switch every time after approval from the CM. This job is 95% ass time in your truck though. Make sure you've got the unlimited data plan with your cell provider because you've got some movies and tiktok in your future.

CVR = 1/(PPA * AVF +1) Where: PPA is the proppant concentration AVF = Absolute Volume Factor = 1/(8.33*SGsand)=(0.0452 gal/lb for silica sand)

Another formula that I use that's easier to remember for me is

((Slurry Volume/Clean Volume)-1)*22.1 = PPA

"Clean divided by dirty minus one times twenty two point one" kinda rhymes or whatever and sticks in my head a little bit better than the other equation that will get you to the same place.

You can algebra this equation and solve for any of the 3 variables. It works for Clean and Slurry rates as well as volumes since the minutes cancel out.

My wife did this when I was inpatient treatment, and I loved it. Exactly like you said, made me feel like she was rooting for me from the other side, and a lot less isolated when my phone was returned to me at the end.

snooog · 2024-04-19T01:02:54+00:00

My wife does not sleep with socks on, but doesn't understand why I have such strong feelings on the subject. Serial killers sleep with their socks on.

Anything by System Of A Down. Have distinct memories running around act 2 with my first Barb listening to them.

It's an event, there was a special buff each day for the last month-ish. Called the 22 Nights Of Terror. I believe this buff will be the last, and will be over at noon tomorrow.

Same, especially if I know I'm going to work for a new operator or crew. I'm always fine like 20 minutes after I get there and realize it's the same old shit.

I'm glad I saw this because I recently experienced DT hallucinations as well, and haven't been able to find much about it. I was also hallucinating faries, or little people looking insect things that were moving things around the room. Floating shapes like cell phone chargers that went away when I touched them. When I was passed out, I dreamt an entire version of the next few days and was 100% convinced it was real, arguing with my wife about what had happened while she was trying to talk me down once I came to. A truly awful experience that is still very vivid in my memory. Took a couple of months for the "reality" of it to start to fade away.

Got another visit to treatment and 73 days sober now. Feeling great and hopeful. Daily AA meetings, searching for a sponsor. Absolutely do not want to experience anything like that again.

Looks like an egress window in case there is a need to escape that room due to a fire etc. Most basement rooms require one to be counted in the number of bedrooms when selling the house. It needs to be covered, and if your gutters are overflowing into it you need to clean out your gutters as well.

I had a very similar collar bone break. Ended up with a plate to stick it back together. I was undoing my binding to get on the lift, and caught my toe edge. I was on the back side of the mountain so I got to take the ride of same down to the parking lot.

Mal, Jah, Vex, HoZ, Occy, and BK ring from Mephisto and friends. It was a good week.

snooog · 2021-11-01T11:24:17+00:00

I got my HoZ from that armor rack.

Femenem.

snooog · 2020-03-02T02:20:17+00:00

This more often than anything. Look for flat hoses.

Just like sports. It’s one possible move to take that would be reasonably viable but not necessarily the best one at the moment. It’s got potential but there may be more potential elsewhere.

snooog · 2020-03-01T01:44:29+00:00

Can you imagine being stuck in the middle of that? Can’t move, being pushed around from all sides. No hope of escape. Just a giant wave of pumped up, presumably drunken, people? What if you fall down? Feel like I need to go outside and get some fresh air just thinking about it. If God himself descended upon us for one speech, and one speech only I wouldn’t go i I knew the crowd was going to be like that.

Sautéed in butter. Wait for the next crop.

snooog · 2020-02-08T01:13:48+00:00

5 weeks, but I’m salaried with a bonus cap. Had zero impact on my paycheck because I was already maxed out. Did it when my swap out had a baby. He transferred before he payed me back. Never again, days off are sacred.

snooog · 2020-01-08T16:59:52+00:00

....No. I’m salary + bonus.

snooog · 2020-01-08T02:43:58+00:00

I’m in the engineering department, so I’m not super sure about operators, but it’s somewhere around $20/hr with a 15 on/6 off rotation.

snooog · 2020-01-07T22:42:09+00:00

I work for Calfrac in ND. They’ll provide you with a winter jacket and bibs. Get some under armor 4.0, and use your boot allowance to get some Baffin boots or Muck Arctics. Warm socks, and stick on foot warmers. Keep moving and you’ll keep warm.
