make a screenshot but I have it paused on the TIVO, looking at it. It says:

RICHMAN-GEOCHEM
ARMSTRONG RANCH #3

Authorized personnel only
No Smoking or open flames
No Firearms Or Weapons <<<<<<<<<<
No Alcohol or Illegal Drugs
Tight Hole Operations-Sales Call By Appt.
-------------------------------------------

I have no idea what that last line means...:eyes:

5. Tight Hole
No, not what you think.

If your well needs fracking, then I suppose that Richman-Geochem can do it.

10. "Tight hole" operation...
... is a oil drilling term to indicate that a communications system has been set up to let only the operators and investors know the progress of drilling operations. A tight hole is, in effect, a system of confidentiality. The sign would indicate that those wanting information on drilling must call by appointment.
