You know how smells trigger memories. The smell of diesel really does
it for me. It brings back memories of when I was an oilfield engineer
in Wyoming and all the crazy people I knew.

Casper?

It also brings back lots

of sailing memories because I am always tinkering with my engine.
So, when I came home this afternoon smelling of diesel from replacing
my boats fuel pump, I thought it was a good smell, like the ultimate
masculine cologne. My wife told me when she came near me "SHOWER" and
put those clothes outside to air in the sun. Clearly, her sense of
smell is distorted.



Yes, Casper, worked for Johnston as a Drill Stem Tester in 1980-82


I worked for CE Natco, made many trips to Casper during that time
frame.

That was a couple of years before $12 oil drove me out of the
industry.
