Where did you find all these clipssss
@HamishReidVideo4 ай бұрын
I took all these clips myself long ago in the Bakersfield (California) area with a really old semi-pro video recorder. I just drove around on roads like Highway 33 or China Grade Loop or Round Mountain Road or 7th Standard Road, etc., and stopped whenever I saw a pumpjack I liked (I was often trespassing so I had to do it quickly). I put the best clips into this video. I did it all ages ago now, back in the tape era!

What, more of the same?! Hmmmm 🙂. Maybe one day (I've kind of moved on from them for a while). I guess I am tempted to revisit the oilfields with a camera again in a few years when things look sufficiently different. We'll see…

People sound like we are all going to need one of these in our back yard, but things in the Middle-East are not so bad that the price at the pump should jump.

My great grandma used to have a ranch out in the pandhandle. Nothing but wilderness for miles around, but these pumpjacks were scattered around the place. One was directly across the road from the house she lived in. I have wonderful memories of that place, walking around and hearing these.

Relaxing indeed, having worked for, as nbc and the demoCRAPS would call it 'a big mean oil company', I can enjoy the compounding effect of $2mm of petroleum stocks, with annual dividends just a hair under $70,000. Life is great and that is the only thing 'bite me' has made better in my financial situation. In the process he and his libturd greenies have destroyed the rest of the economy. America's wealth is sitting under our feet, but a load of socialist control hunger bastards are keeping us from using it to our advantage.
