Had a leaky pipe underneath the kitchen sink. Thought it would be a quick fix, apparently, I already have a hole in my downstairs bathroom wall trying to fix the problem. And it's a friend of mine doing it, so I know he's not trying to screw me. Yeesh.

Friends just use lube so it hurts less.     Also, there is no such thing as a quick or easy fix when plumbing is involved.

He's helped me a couple times, both times were pretty painless. This time though, the entire pipe apparently needs to be replaced, so he has to get at it from behind. TWHS

Is his name Nate?

Morning, muchachos.

Good mornin Raz!

Howdy, Shaun. Practicing my Spanish so I can annoy Tex.

Hola mi amigo, como estas?

Bien, bien.  Pero deseo estaba en cama.

Just hope he remembered the lube.

@ CG   I bet the western ND scene is changing big time now.

WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) — Houston-based oil field services company Halliburton has laid off some of its workers in the western North Dakota oil patch hub of Williston, though the company isn’t providing details.

Halliburton in April suspended operations at its facility in Minot and transferred many of the jobs there to locations in Williston and Dickinson, citing “changing business needs from its customers.” The company two months earlier had said it planned to cut up to 6,400 jobs worldwide in response to falling oil prices.

Are they cutting jobs and production to force gas prices back up.?

They are cutting jobs because the oil costs about $70/barrel to produce and it is selling for about $46/barrel so they are putting the brakes on drilling until the price becomes economically viable for production.   So yes they are hoping to force gasoline prices up.

That won't have any effect on prices.  As YellowStar said, it currently costs more to produce than to sell, so they are not producing by that method until it's economically feasible.  That change would most likely come from the middle east.

Doesn't sound like they can make it up in volume.  Aren't these the same folks who brought us into conflicts in the mideast, so they could make a bundle on supporting the war effort.  You know those cost plus contracts.

Plumbing job wrapping up. Replaced a pipe, cut a hole in my downstairs bathroom wall, only charging me $200. I'd say I got away with a generous amount of lube.
