I was Red's oiler/assistant many times after that. I learned much, but mostly just the dynamics of lifting heavy s#$t with a mechanized stick on wheels :lol: . We were always too busy for him to actually instruct me on operating the rig. I learned enough to make me a fair hand at hydro cranes though. "Step back from the rig Alex" always meant Red was about to do something a little on the dicey side :lol:
