re: Father/Son Quality Time

I remember when my dad got into playing golden Eye on 64. One night we came in my room, probably around 11 pm, woke me up and said, "I beat control Center!"

That was the hardest level to get past to us. :nana:

You could use Stasher or bounce. Check them out if you need to stash your luggage during the day.

Air Travel with a 3 year old

Posted by b-rab2 on 3/16/26 at 9:13 am
Dumb question here: Does my 3 year old need any type of ID to fly? We are flying to Reno late this summer.

We flew with her when she was 1 and it was a breeze b/c she slept the whole time. Anyone have any tips or trick for the long (3 hour) flight from DFW to Reno?

You vet your buyers well. Case and point: we had a new crude buyer come by our office saying they can beat our current buyer by $0.25/bbl. We asked for balance sheet, and financials. They never brought, we never made a deal. Some other operators did. They picked up the oil, and never cut a check.. they were late. If you don’t get your oil check, you can’t pay your vendors. You could potentially have to file for bankruptcy even though you make good NOCF every month.

Oil and gas companies have control over the price that they sell. That's capitalism. Both sides(buyer/seller) work together to set the price.



Actually you are quite wrong.. Prices are set by the market, the midstream guys set a price dectuct(+ or -) to WTI and it is averaged out over the course of the month. They pick up the bbls and write you a check at the end of the month for the bbls they picked up that month. Thats the way it works. We dont set anything.

Also keep in mind that us oil and gas companies DO NOT set prices.. in fact we have no control at all. The only thing we have control of is how many bbls or mcf of gas we can produce.

If you want to be on the river front and have Hilton points, the LondonHouse was nice.
I'm assuming the mortgage includes insurance and property taxes escrowed?
