Got a new job today, so I bought a new hat to commemorate the occasion.

Hauling water from gas well drilling sights in Texas.

No HAZMAT, no over the road.

My dad used to work on trucks that did that which was also in Texas. Congrats on the job, but was the censorship really needed?

Perhaps he's sending a signal to his old boss.

Would that be considered a 5-gallon hat?

Isn't that dangerous? Gas well, toxic water.... but job is job. I assume you drive a truck then.

Gotta keep my anonymity.

Not really.

Peters Brothers Hats in Fort Worth, Texas made all of Tom Mix's hats for him.

The hat I am wearing and all of my cowboy hats are all made at Peters Brothers Hats (http://www.pbhats.com/).

It's not toxic water, just salt water, or saline. We take this water to a plant that separates the water and other minerals, dumps the water and sells the resulting minerals.

Aw, heck - as of a few days ago I was based out of Houston.

I have a house near Fort Worth and live in Lewisville, which is north of Dallas.

Next time I'm near there I'll make a point to contact you.

It's not as hard as you think.

Hard Work ?

Our trucks are full auto transmissions... I night trunk to our own depots so no traffic on the roads.. no wait when I get there.. I open the back doors and then go to the canteen. 45 mins later I shut the back doors and go home.
