Back to the grind and helicopter flights

February 19th, 2009 7:56 am MST

Only a week until I have to get back into work brain and do another 3 weeks on my oil rig.  This trip is going to be a little moe stressful than normal as there has just been a helicopter ditching in the North Sea, bringing to sharp focus the dangers associated with my line of work.

So, please dear reader, next time you fill up the car, fire up the gas stove or reach for the central heating thermostat remember those of us who work out in all weathers and risk our lifes to find the oil and gas we all need for our lifestyles.
