As drilling foreman I worked all over the Middle-East and Southern US. I spent 11 years in the Middle East

Decided to memorialize my career, so I’m using my rotary career as a start. I actually started on a work over rig, near ft.lupton Colorado. It was March 1974, I was leaving the local beef plant, working as a stacker in the offal department, (freezer, stacking meat boxes on assembly line) my friends were all oilfield. What I liked about the beef plant, was work started about 5:30, and ended about 3pm, usually 5 days a week. It didn’t pay great, but I was off about 3, and most weekends! My oilfield buddies made better money, but worked shifts, and many worked 7 days a week! They would prod me to come over to patch, and one day I finally succumbed and quit the beef plant, and took a job on a work over rig. Not quite rotary wages 6.00 vs.3.25. The difference was the w/o rig got paid door to door, and the drilling rig got 8hrs, and traveled on their own time. We started getting overtime by Wed/Thursday, (after40), and rotaryhands typically had 40 after 5 days. That somewhat leveled the pay situation. W/o hands left home at 5:30, and got home at dark, summer time it was 8:00pm, winter time it was 6-6:30. So it wasn’t unusual to get 14hours a day, we would get at least 60-70 hours a week, meaning sometimes as much as 80 regular and 60 ot a half (two weeks). Meaning parish in paychecks with rotary hands, cause even the 7 day hands only typically get 16 hours ot, wk. or 32 hours ot a half. About the spring of 76, brother got out of Navy, and came home. We moved in together in ft Morgan, eventually moving to Greeley. I wasn’t working for a short period, and we both needed work, when one morning our phone rang, and it was a high school mate of my brother. He was drilling on a rotary rig (N4-Brewster) and needed a crew. Andy had never roughnecked, but told Tom that I could work derricks, and he was interested in worms corner. We hired out, and got directions to rig in Weld county Colorado. We drove out, and they were rigging up. As it turns out, the best move I ever made. TBC
