Did he thank you?

“Did he thank you?”

I don’t remember that part. (I was about 50 feet away).

I recall another time when a worker (not an engineer - just some guy) was going to fill up some 55 gallon drums with diesel to get picked up by the helicopter. The control valve was at the big tank (not at the end of the hose like at the gas station). Again, I’m a bit away loading up my stuff for the chopper - but watching him.

He turns the spigot at the tank, and with diesel pouring out walks over to the 55 gal. drums. Tries to undo the bung to open it up. Can’t do it with one hand. Sets down the hose and tries with two hands. Still can’t. Then he spies a wrench laying on top of one of the other drums. Walks over, grabs it and once he gets back to his drum he looks down at the hose, looks at the drum, looks at the big tank, and then decides he better turn the diesel off at the tank. Dumping fuel the entire time!

I didn’t say anything - didn’t feel it was my place to.
