    Has anyone tried Strouderosa in Lake Highlands area?

    Can you give me your favorite brisket spot in/near Lake Highlands? I'm craving some meat (twss), and I don't want to drive a long way.

    Help me understand the deal. Pioneer’s acreage is primarily in the Midland Basin. Why does XOM want to double down on Midland and not Delaware? 

    Pioneers footprint is largely contiguous and in a great location. Infrastructure is already in place. Water issues were addressed ~5 years ago.  The development plan was so solid as Pioneer wasn't drilling its best rock. Most peers/other operators' best wells were being popped in the near-term to appease the shareholder (even though that paradigm was shifting at PXD). XOM is getting a lot of inventory.

  3. XOM plans to offer 90% of Pioneer a position at XOM including field employees. From what I’ve heard, maybe 30% make the move.

    Most decisions not to go have been culture based. Pioneer was the greatest place to work on earth, and for those who signed on right after college are abt to see what the real world is like.

  4. We have ~6 months at PXD until closing. Up to 2 yrs in the LCO office for transitional procedures. Either we take the job offer at XOM (we have been told at least 90% will get an offer), or take the package.

    Btw, we find surprises in the Land dept almost every day. Our brokers know more abt our actual footprint and we do.

  5. Well, if you win this ball-in-spoon balance beam competition, do you play in the next com or pass it on to your competitor? I think I would have to play. I couldn't live with myself letting someone else take away my chance. BUT, Jared is an idiot, and if the comp has any sort of knowledge requirements, he will def fail.

    That being said, I fell like the producers somehow have a way of guaranteeing that Jared is the one that wins.

  6. Group lessons have been great for my kids (6 & 7). Completely recommend. I know they're younger than yours, but they love meeting the other kids and spending the next few days with kids their age. At the end of the lessons each day, I will take them up the mountain (now that they are comfortable getting on and off the lifts) and see what they have learned. It is my favorite part of the day by a mile. They LOVE skiing, and daddy finally has someone to ski with, even if its only for 45 minutes each day.

    I am going that same week after christmas. It will be my first time to go during that week, so I am trying to temper my expectations, and bring my patience pills.

  7. Re: working out.

    I work out 2-3 times a week and run once a week year round, but 2 weeks leading up to a ski trip, I will take the stairs at work 2-3 times a day rather than the elevator. I can't remember the last time I was worn out or sore from a ski trip (usually only 2-3 days of skiing), so it works for me.

    Jared has his way with the ladies. Blue would only ever be so lucky to be in a relationship with a guy who calls her “bruh” or “bro” when he’s upset.

    When anyone calls him out on strategy or game play, he gets defensive and raises his voice. He then tells the other person not to raise their voice at him. I think he's an awful person, with very little mental capacity to handle conflict.

    This is what happens when you get rid of the hots in the first 2 weeks.
