The cold day

oil field song number 4 it was so cold today I took my gloves off for 5 minutes it took 25 for them to thaw out made a big ass cup hot chocolate hoping it’d help trying to think of an excuse not to have to go back out but I knew that wasn’t an option so I grabbed my impact gloves a zipped up my helix jacket praying that would be enough take one step out the Gally smoke  already coming out my mouth shit running out my nose like a running faucet now it’s raw from me trying to stop it lips starting to crack can’t even feel my face but I still pull myself together cause I gotta be tuff cause out here if you show weakness it just ammo for these guys to joke an pick on you I’m not gonna let that happen now back to operations  gotta climb scaffolding using s r l’s self retracting lifeline it’s to catch you in case you fall now we moving pump hoses opening up wells  but first you pump open the s s v about 6000 p s I  and make sure your Manumatic is locked open with a screw on cap open up the master an then to the crown valve could take around 15 to 21 turns to open these valves it’s got practice to count them for deferent circumstances but I’m not gonna get into that right now and don’t forget about that good old choke manifold it’s like a street intersection you direct your gas and fluids like traffic basically it’s like following a map you just choose what roads you want open or closed now we ready to circulate down the tubing yes the long string and up the production casing Wayne the pump operators ass must be frozen to his tool box seat cause he ain’t even greasing his plungers Joe bob on the mud tank fingers so cold an frozen he can’t even count barrels or even climb down to swap valves every 10 to 15 mins all I heard was burns burns burns but I stop what I’m doing to help Joe bob my buddy out cause god forgive if there was Sheen or oil slick cause that’s part of our jobs to prevent marine debris keep all the sea turtles happy and all the other sea life don’t seem like much but that’s another 12 hour day definitely wasn’t a lot of laughter we all ready for that good ole hot shower an meal tune in again next time for Robert burns next country song
