Drill DownThe New Speed Star 1100 has been attracting a lot of attention locally. It has 300,000 pounds of pull back and 23,000 pounds of
torque with two 550 horsepower CAT engines. This new top of the line rig will give us the ability to drill approximately 13,000
feet vertically which will increase our competiveness when bidding new horizontal drilling projects. Although this rig is primarily
designed to drill in confined spaces it is a great package for multiple
applications. Eddie Shawver and Lance Baldwin are currently in
training to run the new 1100. Due to the new technology this rig
implements, both John Taylor and Bret Ward have been invaluablein the set up and start up of this machine. The rig will remain set up
until mid-June at shop 1 for training purposes. Employees may set
up a tour by seeing Lance, Eddie, John or Brett. Any employees who
may be interested in training for this rig should contact Leon Boyd.
We are still waiting on the remaining tooling such as doghouse gen
sets, fuel system, mixing tanks, and step. The remaining items are
expected in July baring any unforeseen problems in availability.

BEAT THE ODDS
The odds of an average person being a lightning casualty over your lifetime are about 3,000 to 1. Those are pretty goododds. But you can make them even better by following the 30-30 rule.
Here's how:
Watch for dark skies, threatening clouds, or increasing winds, even if it is not raining.
1. When you see lightning, count the seconds until you hear thunder.
2. If that time is 30 seconds or less, the thunderstorm is within 6 miles of where you are and is dangerous. You areclose enough to be struck.
3. Seek shelter immediately.4. Wait at least 30 minutes after the last clap of thunder before leaving shelter.
5. Dont be fooled by sunshine or blue sky!Furthermore, be smart by being prepared when you participate in outdoor summer activities:
Listen to weather forecastshave a radio with youand plan ahead for possible shelter in case of a thunderstorm. Knowthat lightning is most likely to occur in hot, humid, summer weather, during the late afternoon or early evening.

SAFETY:
Summer Safety
June 2010 Is National Safety Month. Lets prepare early.Here are this years National Safety Month themes:
Week 1(6/1to 6/6): Prescription Drug Overdose Prevention
Week 2 (6/7 to 6/13): Teen Driving Safety
Week 3 (6/14 to 6/20): Preventing Overexertion at Work & at Home
Week 4 (6/21to 6/27): Dangers of Cell Phone Use While Driving
Week 5 (6/28 to 6/30): Summer Safety
Visit www.nsc.org for more on these themes. Since Week 5 only gets two days, lets focus on Summer Safety now. One hazard of
summer weather is lightning, which has been the #2 weather killer in the United States over the past 30 years. In fact lightningkills more people than hurricanes and tornadoes combined.
Understand that no place OUTSIDE is safe during a thunderstorm. Being caught outside with no safe shelter is a severe emer-
gency. Follow these suggestions, which wont protect you but may improve your odds:Do not seek shelter under tall, isolated
trees.
Do not seek shelter under partially enclosed buildings or in tents.
Stay away from metal objects, such as fences, poles, or golf clubs.
Stay away from water.
Find the lowest spot around and crouch down.
The SAFEST location is a fully enclosed building with wiring and plumbing. Such buildings are safe because of their wiring and
plumbing. Unsafe buildings include picnic or beach shelters, large outdoor tents, or other buildings that do not have electricity or
plumbing.
The second safest location is a hard-topped car, SUV, bus, or other hard-topped vehicle. Do not seek shelter in a soft-topped con-
vertible. Close all the windows and doors and do not touch any metal surfaces .
If someone is struck by lightning, call 911 or your local emergency number to get immediate medical care. You are in no danger of
an electrical charge if you touch a lightning victim or administer CPR.
Rememberto report all accidents to your supervisor and to
our Safety Director within 15 Minutes! Failure to do so can
result in disciplinary action.
