I believe that when a certain someone made that definitive tatement that man isn't perfect, he had the Irish in mind for how imperfect those imperfections could be. The advantage straight up is you come with such low expectations that you can only be pleasantly surprised assuming the subject is a non Irish to begin with.Figured, with them being your acquaintances.
That's the principle with which I operate when it comes to running an operation. Obviously, with such expectations ( low) to begin with, Sean Murphy didn't disappoint in the least. He'd overhaul a compressor in half the time with at least a dozen parts left out. If one could excuse mishaps like those, he was fine ( I mean , with the Irish, what else can one expect).
But I'd tell you this, he made one hell of a menial. He could do the job of 2 sometimes 3 helpers all alone. This is a great skill to have on a rig. That's how he was retained. To these you could add other defects like what I've described in the above post. I'm sure you'd learn what a great guy he is when he & cousin are above you. Gives you plenty of time to bond. Pun unintended.
