re: What’s the most “baw” job you’ve ever had?

I was a “doodlebugger” in the late 70’s. That’s where we rode around on a marsh buggy and drilled 100’ holes every 10th of a mile in the marsh below Lafayette. After we got the holes drilled we would drop 10 lb charges of dynamite in with blasting caps attached to leads that we then wrapped around cane poles.

Had a separate crew come behind and set off the charges and record the data. Best job a young man could have. It paid well and it paid per diem .

ETA. Doodlebugging is an oilfield term.
