Glad to hear from you, EB! Was thinking about you the other day and wondering how the pipeline deal worked out and if the Powdrill was paying you anything yet. Glad to hear it is going good for you. I guess with all the stuff you had going it was pretty hard to git back in here and swap stories. Good to see you back.
EB, I am wondering if your son is on a Unit rig. The following two are both working near the Red River but I think it may be the one in Caddo Parish. Unfortunately I don't have any housing information but wonder if you may want to post a discussion item in the Caddo Parish and Red River Parish Groups. I even wonder if he could stay at a YMCA. I hope someone has something available.

Thanks Les, He is on his last night, and will be coming home in the morning. It's been really bad this week for the men. His buddy, that signed on with him, walked off the job at 3:00am. on Sunday morning. My son said, everything on the rig is "Junk" When he arrived on the site, and started rigging up with them, he reconized the old rig, he told me they had bought it from Patterson or one of those companies, and were re-building it...on site. There were no tool, he took his own tools went he went back. Said, you can go on-line a see that old rig when they pulled in down on top of a man and broke his back, (you know this kind of thing happens) Any way, he's on his last night and it's going to rain all night, and he works derricks, he's already sick from sleeping in a moldy, dirty old crew house, with about 12 others. But, he gets 7 days off, to get well, before going back for more of the same...Ha I may have to drive over there and help him rent something clean to live in. He says they are going so deep that they will be there for months.
I have a small hotel in Center, and he has driven over there a few nights to sleep, but it's really to far to drive. Do they really have YMCA???? With the homeless and drugie, I would a think they would be pretty bad places to stay. But, I don't know.
