Everything you do in America haha.

Hockey is big, the mountains are an hour away basically everything you guys do haha.


Soooooo I might be going to Tulsa, Oklahoma on the 16th of December to the 22nd for free
Schlumberger wants me to attend their winter camp for that week so they would fly me out, and put me in a hotel.

So basically mark comes here Saturday, an I go there in 2 weeks haha

Top gun Coatings quoted me about &170 buck for the turbo manifold and about $60-&80 buck for the turbine housing to be ceramic coated in a titanium grey finish. Turn around time would be a week or so

Picked up some bolts and washer so I can mount the turbo on the manifold and then put it on the motor to see how low the turbo will hang

If you are gonna work for schlumberger then I'm gonna quit my job!

Schlum isn't the biggest. They hardly have a service market in canada. My company has around 2% of their downhole units in the world. They have maybe a couple hundred units in service in north america. 90% of them being in the united states and the rest being in my field only

I said they are the biggest in te world, not Canada.

The president and CEO of calfrac has a kid that's in my program.

Why would you quit your job if I worked for Schlumberger? Haha

it doesn't have to be done in the car. I was making sure that I had room on the intake side. it's pretty close to the water pump. would be kinda hard to see that in the engine bay

if you know how much of a pain in the ass that the longtube was to get in there, you wouldn't have said that! lol

I think there was some miscommunication here. the pictures clearly show the motor in the back of my truck. I was just making sure everything fit right and had enough room! lol
