Steak and Eggs

Happy birthday to my 9 year old Vincent.  Day 3 without propane starting to fester in my own squall er, since no showers are available.  So the definition of irony is when they flare off all the gas that comes with pumping oil, but, we cant seem to get a propane delivery.  Feeling a little disgruntled today and my mannerisms reflect my current mood.   Steak and eggs, well since my wonder full wife had all ready preseasons 3- 8 oz strip steaks before expertly wrapping them up in a manner that would make any high end butcher proud. Simply defrost them on the counter. No microwave this ruins the meat.  All though i find any other way then a searing hot grill, is a complete injustice and should be considered a food felony punishable by death.  I must use the limited resources available and bake yes i said it bake the fucking steak.   So before i submit my precious strips to a 450 degree oven i must rub them down with butter, yes butter not the poor substitute of margarine, not i cant believe its not butter, it isn't, but real salted butter.  Since I have no idea how long to bake a steak I will have to make the often poor maneuver, which causes a person to cut into a steak releasing all the precious juices, just to put it back on the heat, ultimately producing a horribly dry hunk of meat.  My timing is impeccable I cut into one of the 3 steaks and wind up devouring it before i know it.

Eggs i prefer over easy, but since all my eggs froze in the back of my truck on the way up.  I am left with a restaurant sized container. containing scrambled eggs.  Hot pan and of course more butter, Approx six eggs seasoned and scrambled to perfection.  Serve with medium rare baked steak, and you have rig steak and eggs. Both myself and my MWD hand are happy to completely consume leaving no evidence that a horrible food crime had just been committed..

On another note I'm drilling at 12000' all the roughnecks seem unhappy, due mostly to there current state of hangover.  Also the filthy living conditions, don't contribute to there happiness.  Some days you wonder why people subject them self's to work in -40 degree weather covered in oil based mud, oh i know its the $$$$.

And 11 more hours no more tower, also no heat and no hot water in my sleeping shack..............
