this photo was taken last year at the private collection at Shuttleworth automotive museum
 

I took this picture at a memorial statue erected during the first world war. It was erected by a woman's auxilliary group. That would be after 1918. They also planted poppies of which there is a famous poem. In Flanders field. In Canada we wear poppy replicas on our lapels in November on what we call remembrance day which signifies the end of World War I. I snapped this picture while waiting for my bus. poppy.jpg

We are out working the Permian Basin, renting a place in Monohans as it is central to me going to all the locations.

Funny / ironic thing is that we was out here 38 year ago when we first married - as I was working as a kid company man for CITGO taking care of drilling rigs all over the same country. Still looks the same....

Planning to retire by years end though. All-most 43 year of the oilpatch has provided us enough to enjoy the remaining time on this mortal earth doing something other than working all the time. As the oilpatch - at least for me - has been all consuming.

Plan to spend a good bit of my time chasing ms gamboolgal around the old 4-Poster buck nekid.....

West Texas is pretty in its own way. Big Painted Sky Country for sure. And good homemade Mexican food.....

Love your photos. My best years we’re spent in the oil patch prior to retirement. Followed the oil patch from Wichita Falls to all over the the Permian basin years ago. Lived in Odessa, mcCamey,
Rankin, Hobbs, Livingston and Denver City. Had family retired with Phillips who lived in Monaghans. Retired in Lubbock, selling bolts & nuts to the ag and oil industry. Thanks for the come back. Hope you enjoy the forum.
