I guess my problem isn't quite that bad. But I think I will try that blood meal. Where can a guy get it?
  6. That is not fully true, it just has to be at a licensed establishment ie. Jim Bows, Calgary Archer Center.

  10. It's probally there inbreed offspring hopping into Evergreen. hahaha
  11. I wonder how much weight these hold, does anyone know where Zebec is ?
  12. Does anyone know any tricks (minus the .22) to deter rabbits. My community is quickly becoming over ran with them. Over the past few years they've really enjoyed the flower smorgus board my wife plants for them. But now there eating my grass, CHEWING IT RIGHT TO THE ROOTS. I have a bunch of beautiful patches on my lawn thanks to them.
  13. All of the comments towards British Petroleum have been negative so far. We are talking about the Oil & Gas industry in general. I find it so humorous when people stand out outside the glass and look in. There is so much safety in the oilfield that it is to the point that it's dangerous. We repeat safety meetings over and over again, we review/preview/access JSA'S tell our eye's are red. What ends up happening after awhile is it falls on deaf ear's. The millions upon millions of dollars that go into programs like JSA'S, safety meeting, safety stand downs and mandatory course's could support a small city. The reality is, it's not the oilfield companies that cause these issues, (god only knows they have enough rules and regulations in place) it's the people working for them. You can tell someone what not to do, you can show them the right way and you can explain the consequence's. But some will turn around and do everything you showed them not to do, does that make it your fault. Oil & Gas in drive by the money machine, no one can deny that. But is MAKING MONEY not the point of having a business in the first place. (don't be pissy because there good at it) Don't get me wrong I personally feel that the industry has a long way to go in terms of the environmental end of things (no offense Ricker, but especially in the States) and I feel that when accidents do happen they need to spend more time and effort to remedy the situation. But like I said previously the industry is making leaps and bounds in the right direction. I also find it so funny how people target the oilfield over other industries. A prime example would be mining in Bistrol Bay vs. drilling on the North slope. (which one got more publicity/ which one is going to cause more damage).
  14. You drill with a set of B.O.P.'S (blow out preventer's) in place. The issue with cement jobs is that after you've pumped the cement you pump a sealed plug right behind it, which set's in whats called a float. The issue with the getting gas to surface during a cement job is once the plug is dropped you have no real well control. Because once the plug hits the float you no longer have a bottoms up circulation. You could go through your choke set up and try to surface kill the well, but the harsh reality of this is it rarely works. The real problem with cement jobs is that you have to thin back your mud in order to do one. If the drilling fluid viscosity is to high then the cement will channel through the mud, giving you a bunk cement job. So during the processes of thinning back your mud you lose it's weight caring properties, allowing the formation gases to enter the well bore! As far as off shore drilling being more dangerous than land rigs, it's just not true. Land rigs are way more western due to the fact that there is less people monitoring them. The reality is a blow out is dangerous no matter where it is!
  15. I couldn't have said it better myself! Besides, if you actually worked in the field, you would know that the oilfield has made leaps and bounds over the last decade towards safety for both the workers and the environment! Things don't happen over night and it takes a long time to beat the mentality out of an industry that has been around for more than a century.
  16. Has anyone on this board world in the Australian oilfield? It sounds like thats where I'm heading and a I'm looking to talk with someone who has been there. Mostly curious about tax info, working with the locals and boarder relations.
  17. O.K. fair enough so on 7.0 Appendices all those resident only dates should be Canadian residents only days.
  18. I just read through it and I'm not sure if I'm blind, but I really don't see how an Albertan can fish during local only days. And PKG how is this giving Alberta, B.C.'s Steelhead on a silver platter? There's now more restricted for Albertans! Less days on the water, extended stamps and higher river classes. Mod Edit BBT
  19. It wouldn't just be length you need an idea of the girth as well. That being said a 9 lb trout is pretty big!
  20. Thats a nice brown, good job guys!
