Family Day, that’s nice. We’ll get to that during breakup

To be clear, these photos were taken three weeks ago. But the idea is the same: While others take their kids tobogganing or fishing on family day, there are others out there bringing home the bacon.

As Corb Lund sang in “Roughest Neck Around:”

It’s 35 below or its 98 aboveAnd he’s workin’ thru it all, cuz baby this is what he lovesDrives a hundred-fifty miles make sure his kids are doin’ fineAnd he sees ’em when he can but he’s married to his iron

 

These photos were taken on a nice day, Jan. 27, just before temperatures warmed up enough to turn everything to mud for the better part of a week. The idea was to get to as many rigs as possible in one day. The number ended up being eight. Photos by Brian Zinchuk
