Getting News From The Oil Patch More Quickly

Sophia loves anything with buttons to push: car key fobs (especially the car alarm/panic button); cell phones (her favorite); and, remote controls for televisions and Bose radios, for which she has reset all our alarms.

I love getting news from the oil patch in real time.

Putting the two together, we got Sophia a pair of walkie talkies. She can now touch base with roughnecks here in the DFW area to find out what's going on locally, perhaps getting an occasional inside tip on the Bakken.

These are some really good walkie talkies. When turned on, they default to National Weather Service. They have 22 channels (2,662 channel combinations) to include secure communications. The range is up to 37 miles and in urban areas, three miles, maybe more, depending on buildings. The batteries are rechargeable; the walkie talkies simply sit in the recharger, one does not need to take the batteries out to recharge. Three AA batteries are required for each w/t and came with the purchase. The brand: Cobra.

She uses tractor/trailor (seen behind here, in the photo above) for her budding "hotshot" oil services company.

Yes, I know, she still needs steel toe work boots.
