Yeh....when I was much, much younger, I made the mistake of using Lava soap for a shower one time....cause it was the only soap in the shower....and I was too young to know....but, I sure learned that day that it wasn't.....I prefer "Irish Spring" original myself....I don't like the gel stuff....just a rag and bar man.....the Right bar.....:plbb

I might have to get the barn fixed first for all those animals. Definitely need a MUCH bigger chicken coop. Mr and Mrs Wilson can stay in the broody buster, I'll kick Betty out. It's about 3' wide and 18" deep and tall. We have 2 spare twin beds in separate rooms (in fact separate floors) so you and Leon don't have to snuggle in the heat.

I bet @CntryBoy777 would use that rose soap on his "delicate areas" before he'd use Lava soap again.

Back when I worked in the oilfield on the drilling rigs, Lava soap was commonplace in the showers, as was powdered "rig wash" which was a generic laundry detergent bought by the company in removable lid 55 gallon drums. You gotta get it off of you, out of your nose and everywhere else and Zest, Dial, Dove or Coast isn't going to do it. Ya use those on your last day of the tour when days off start and you're on your way home to momma and wanna smell nice.
Nothing more dismaying than to drive up on location and the offgoing crew is just setting the kelly back to get ready for you, the oncomming crew to trip out 4 miles of wet string using oil based mud because of a plugged bit, meaning every 96' long stand of pipe is going to spew oil base mud all over you as soon as you break the connection. They attempt to control the mud flow from the 90' stand they just raised up, with a tarp. A 90' column of mud has significant flow to it, as you will see. On a 20,000' well, this will happen over 200 times over the next 6-8 hours as they pull every joint of pipe and collars out of the hole. This ain't a job for wimps..

Yeh....that's unreal what some people "experience" each day....I've never had the opportunity to be around any of that, but have had days wearing hip boots in a 4' pool with a scoop to scoop out the molded, fermenting cotton seed floating in water that had fell from the screw conveyors thru the cotton seed "run" thru the mill.....that smelled like decaying flesh.....it is those days that I would've of "traded places" with one...cause if ya get that "funk" on ya....it has to wear off....:)

The smell of Uncontrolled fermented grain will make you give up beer in a heartbeat, especially once the maggots appear...
We used to put various wet grain in a towsack, let it ferment for a few weeks and then weigh it down in a pond or lake. Makes a great catfish attractant but lawd it smelled awful.

Yep....and they wonder why they had to replace so many "new comers".....when ya got a family to feed, sometimes ya just gotta "bellyup" and do what ya gotta do to "provide"....it sure separated the "men from the boys"....it isn't too bad til the surface is broken...then it billows....:lol:
