Yeah, I've browsed them a little just because some are so intricate and beautiful like you say, and you aren't kidding on price. The ones I saw started at $1200 and weren't overly intricate. Prices just went crazy from there.

I miss my oilfield days for many reasons, but the money is a big one. There was a good 11 years when I could have afforded a pretty nice one.

Sadly, my days of high stress, high adrenaline, dangerous, always interesting, electronics repair on the cement and frac equipment in the field are over.

I friggin love tobacco!
