It's after 4:00PM and it's been raining since early morning. Raining hard now for a while.
Man when this freezes tonight it's going to be bad out.

They life-flighted a guy from my pad 2 weeks back because he slipped on the ice, feet went out from under and he landed on his head... Hard hat didn't save him from a bad skull injury. Unsure what his current status is...
Be careful. Your old now and don't bounce as well as you use to.

I heard they kept him in the hospital for observation for a couple days and was released.

I got from Laura's brothers family for Christmas these slip on chains that cover the sole / heal of our steel toed boots. I actually have been wearing them and they are awesome!!!!! I took one fall and honestly had around 80+ slips near falls. Since I have been wearing these I have not had even one slip!!! Some of the guys here on the rig are going to get some. Going to wear them on my wadders when I hit the river as well to keep from slipping on the "greasy shale bottom". :smiley_bril:

I have something similar and love them! They are rubber all around so they will fit most any size shoe/boot, then have spring coils that cut through snow and icy spots. I don't go outside w/o them.

Actually those are what I have. I mis-spoke stating chains although I have seen ones with chains. I may take a picture of them and post it later.
