My sleeping quarters while I was there consisted of two mattresses in the living room, one on top of the other. Worked for me!

... We had some unforgettable times and became extremely close friends!

Sharing a one-bedroom apartment? I guess you could get extremely close. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Good tune; I would make one change; instead of “to cut down on dependency” I would say “to be free of dependency”, but what do I know; I’ve never wrote a song.

I just realized the song I heard and commented on was not the same as the song discussed in the story “Throwin Chain”, The song I listened to was “Boom or Bust and American Oil”.

That one is newer. I could not find it in public domain, so I linked to others by him on similar topics. The source article has a link to purchase the discussed song, but I wasn’t trying to make the thread an ad for him.

Old chain chunker here- haven’t set foot on a rig in almost 30 years, but chunkin’ chain is like riding a bicycle!
