With the recent changes, its is evident that the company is getting ready to be sold to a potential buyer, such as Halliburton. Clean-up boyzzzz!!!

Where did fat boy go after he left. I miss his leadership and wish he was still at Hardy.

If you can't do mechanical drawing or design electronics or write software or have some other hard skill other than being a high paid manager, good luck to you. And I mean a serious skill, not dabbling or doing sh!t in your mind.
