So a little about me...

I'm Jeff and I'm from Western Canada...the good part, Northern BC and Alberta. I'm just normal oilfield trash that got interested in blogging. Can't say I am the most prolific or timely, but if I have something to say I usually will...So anyway this is just a look through my eyes once in a while...I don't claim to be right, but I'll never be left.

Me I'm stupid,
It's all I ever wanted to be,

Anything you want me to"

Ravens



A short post this time.

I like to watch the ravens that frequent the jobsites...they are probably the smartest bird we have...I remember once when I was just a little catskinner I was operating a D7G In the winter, no cab, but if it was tarped in with the fan on suck and working hard it would boil you alive. Anyway...I was so thirsty and I only had 2 small drinking boxes of grape juice. They were also boiling so I thought it would be a good idea to bury them in a snowbank and come back for them later on. Around 3:00pm I returned and found a beak sized hole in each and all the juice sucked out. WTF! That dirty Sh&t hawk! The raven had come back and taken my badly needed juice....I ended up having to suck snow.

  1. I too love Ravens and Crows. They are a very intelligent bird... I love to watch them around truck stops and rest areas. Some days I think they could teach us humans so much!!
