You're listening to the oil and gas this week podcast brought to you by IBM.

This is the show for busy oil pros who want to quickly keep their finger on the pulse of the industry.

Thanks to everyone for joining us for episode 313. And it's August 1st Friday Q&A.

How's it going, Mark?

Hey, what?

This is pretty close to the first Friday.

We don't ever get this close to first Friday.

It's like the second week.

I'm not going to say it's hot because we've said that before because it's ridiculous.

29 days without rain.

Yeah, our water bill is going to be as much as our electricity bill.

He keeps trying to keep the grass alive.

Speaking to that, you know, Paige and I have had this thing happen where in the corporate

headquarters for OGGN, somebody keeps cutting off the valves for our sprinklers.

And I'm starting to suspect that it's kids and they think they're cutting off our natural gas supply. Really? Why else was somebody cut off our sprinkler valves? I don't know. Me either. Anyway, well, it's a mystery. We'll eventually figure it out. We'll probably put cameras up trying to catch some. What we're not trying to catch is all of the great people leave us for reviews. You want to read it? I guess. I don't know what kind of segue that was, but great work, guys. I love the show. Please keep it up. Great work. And when will you start doing live events again at Midland from Tabs? Tabs. It's hot Midland right now. It's just all of Texas. It will end the South. Yeah, so we got the one here in Houston every month. We're doing August, September, October. The only month we have left this year is November. So if you want the sponsor that, let me know. It's a great, great thing to do to get in front of prospects for a little bit of money, get in front of a lot of oil and gas people. at the end of the day the the money goes to charity, fight human sex trafficking. We're also launching one in Lafayette, Louisiana. So

stay tuned for news on that. Then first Friday Q&A, so it's time for questions, huh? Yeah.

I've got to figure out where the news articles were. Well, come back. All right. First one is always

from Ludwig. Is it normal to have a guard dog in the USA?

Just asking and something strange, a dog seeking its own drinks. What does that even mean?

You remember last episode and we talked about Tucker was up here, our guard dog.
