Trip a bruin’
Drilling is a dusty business. This is what happens when you drill with air above the water table.
But sometimes, it can lead to great things. For about 6 months now, a driller buddy of mine, Matt, and me, Matt, have planned a trip. Matt, being a life-long Tennessee Vols fan, and Matt, an alum from UCLA, it seems natural that the Matts would travel to Westwood/Pasadena for the Labor Day game.
The plan was to drill in the field together, and then we would drive from Snake Valley, free to Vegas (because he was working and gets a trip home), then drive to LA from LV with his truck. Well, the plan worked perfectly, except:
1. Matt is working in Oakland, not Snake Valley, right now.
2. Matt is going back to the SLC tomorrow due to drilling tasks that don’t need a geologist.So, the plans are shot, but no need to fear! The plan will happen no matter what happens, even if I have to drive to LA myself.
I have another great story, but it will have to be protected. I’ve made that mistake before.
On a completely unrelated note, I need some advise. Xanga has a thing where you can change your user name. I was wondering if I should. It would be /qfl247, of course.
Pros: QFL 24-7 is the name of the site and is my signature logo/user name.
Cons: I would get less hits. A significant portion of my hits are people doing internet searches for Wayne Rooney, the band Rooney, and even Andy Rooney. Are this hits bad? I don’t know, I have mixed feelings. Maybe someone would become a fan, accidentally. But, these people are probably just frustrated by my site. By the way, the other things people search for and find my site include truncated icosahedrons, Zaca Lake, and LEGO. If you don’t frequent your feedback log, I recommend it for a chuckle.
Feel free to way in on this. It costs like 5000 credits, which is why I almost never leave minis… I’m saving up!

i would change it … qfl247 is a rad name … though you’d probably need to do more than few surveys to get the credits to change it … i did a crap-ton of surveys and i can only change my name 2 times …
Uh…does it really matter if you change the name? And what’s the feedback log?

Hmm, that looks familiar…although that rig looks different. That’s not air rotary is it?
I wouldnt change the name. As soon as you change it you’ll find out that you can get a free pizza with those 5000 credits. Free pizza > name change.
