My trip to the Vegas valley has an additional purpose. I have a friend from school who after college got me a job at GE through his connections. Afterwards I got him a job at my current company in Houston. He eventually left and ended up working a rotation on a offshore oil rig in Eastern Canada. Like many of the oil and gas refugees he recently moved companies and is living out West. He keeps trying to convince me to move out there.
At some point when all the coupons have been used and I’ve had my last comped corned beef, I’ll be driving out into the desert that surrounds Vegas to visit this friend. Hoping to not run into Nicky Santoro and his crew digging holes out in the desert. Don’t want to give him just cause to have did another hole.
Me and Nicky at the book.
Me driving into the desert.
When I hit the road I’ll post pics of what I run into on my journey.
