Music
Any type of music!

Any type of movie! My favorite of all time is Dumb and Dumber.
Television
Sporting events and the occasional sporting events!I find many shows fascinating. Our Board President, Loyd Watson, and his company, Watson Well Drilling, were recently featured on an episode of Dirty Jobs. If you haven't seen it I will try to post it to the page. We also had a board member featured on the show Modern Marvels two years ago. I will also try to post this one as well.

Need a pump install apprentice for Steamboat Springs, CO! Family business there. I live in Vegas... hit me up with questions about this years event. GOKU
Are there any conctractors from the Raliegh NC area that would be interested in doing some irrigation wells for a builder friend of mine? Let me know, email me.
Hey Jason you have helped me with stuff in the past. Where can I direct customers who want to hook their submersible well pumps and water conditioners to some type of battery backup. Any suggestions would be great. Many thanks, Tuff
Thanks for the add! My name is Jeff Calvert and I work in sales for Laibe Corporation, manufacturer of the Versa-Drill. We are a fully stocking reseller of genuine I/R parts, Mission Magnum parts, etc... We currently have 12,000 Feet of Drill Rod in-stock and ready to ship.

Thanks for the add! I wanted to let everyone know that our company has a 1995 Speedstar 30K for sale if you want details send me a message! We want this rig sold!
G'day g'day. This is a little video of me drilling out in the English channel. I taped a camera to the rods as we were tripping back down the hole. Fun, fun, fun!
I recently saw the NGWA sponsored Darcy Lecture given by Mike Celia. I believe he has some very innovative, and scientifically accurate ideas, although some are slightly opinionated. Either way, I think his approach to carbon sequestration and hydrogeology can potentially be a blue print for future research and actions. Thanks for helping sponsor it!
I'll be putting pics of our newest drill rig up later tonight. Business is slowing down like it usually does around Xmas but service work is still strong. We have been doing a lot of abandonments for folks who hooked up to city water.
Ya know I am soooo tired of telling customers why drilling a well makes so much mess in their yard. Da what happens when you mix dirt and water.....MUD LOTS OF MUD!! Sorry just had to vent!
Anyone catch 'WILDCATTERS' last night on A&E (I think it was A&E)? Great show about 3 guys putting a boatload of money on the line in search of gas/oil in CA, TX, and the Arctic.
While it goes outside of the water well arena, it's not real often that we're exposed to rigs of that magnitude -- the one in the Arctic was amazingly large.
Hey Jason any idea where I can get info on open and closed loop geothermal wells? I need some reading information for the weekend. Have a great one. Tuff
Recently, Germany conducted some scientific exploration involving their best scientists. Core drilling samples of earth were taken to a depth of 50m and during the core examinations, small pieces of copper were discovered. After running many arduous tests on these samples, the German government announced that the ancient Germans 25,000 years ago had a nationwide telephone network.
Naturally, the British government was not that easily impressed. So they ordered their own scientists to take their core samples at a depth of 100m. From these samples, they found small pieces of glass and soon announced that the ancient Brits 35,000 years ago already had a nationwide optical fibre network.
Irish scientists were outraged. So immediately after this announcement, they ordered their scientist to take samples at a depth of 200m but found absolutely nothing. They concluded that the ancient Irish 55,000 years ago were an even more advanced civilisation, as they already had a mobile telephone network in place.
