My Grandpa gave me 3 of these:




I didnt even know he owned any oil wells, but apparently his father bought them when my family lived in wyoming. They are still pumping high grade crude oil today, (but not very much)! Sweet, so I guess now i get to be an oil tycoon?

Cool - you already speak like our current president, so maybe someday...nevermind. :D


I'm kidding of course. Happy Birthday.

Haaaaaaaahahahha!

Not 24 hours after the president declares "WE ARE ADDICTED TO OIL" and "WE NEED ALTERNATIVE SOURCES OF ENERGY"

Hahaha. Smart move on your granpas part to rid himself of the liability.

Or - good gift since the government might pay you to NOT pump oil in the future (same income but no expenses...).

Towing the party line.
So how does it work? You pump a barrel or 10 a day into a tank and some service picks it up or what?

I never got how those privately owned wells actually work, market wise.

Only thing better than that for a b-day present is fellatio.


But considering this was from gramps, I guess this IS the best thing.
