Greetings all from the heart of the oilfields in North Dakota.

I'm new to the Hide but have been following posts and information on here for years and today, I decided to join. As with most on here, I started out knowing absolutely nothing and over the past few decades, I can proudly say I have at least doubled my knowledge to knowing a little bit about nothing. I am full of great ides, mostly bad ones, but great none the less. I have seen a few things and done a couple things, but frankly, I have messed up and screwed up virtually everything I possibly could. So I guess I'm a wealth of knowledge of what not to do and what won't work.

But in all seriousness, I am a Sgt. and K9 officer overseeing our departments K9 program in the heart of the oilfields so I spend most of my time working and very little time for myself, so I come to places like this to seek out information on new projects and share what I've messed up or gotten to work to bring back and hold onto a little bit of sanity.

So, thank you for accepting me to the group and I look forward to many discussions about really bad ideas and things I just shouldn't try!
 
Welcome from CO
 
Welcome from AZ.
I was originally from the oil patch in ND, but now hang out in the desert.
 
Nice to see a few others in or having been from the Nodak area. I've lived and worked here for 8 years now and though the closest thing to home for me is Wisconsin, I still can't stand the cold. Give me the jungle or desert any day as my body doesn't hurt in either of them and the wind can stop at any time.
