And before we get into this story, I actually want to share what my most expensive pen is. Okay. So, and it's a pen that I did not purchase. Now, if you know me, I like to write and I like nice pens. It's okay. I don't know why I just do. Don't judge me. But My most expensive pin I recently got, and it all stems from back in April 2021. No, 2022, I'm sorry.

When the Secor Power down here in Louisiana flipped off in the Gulf, we had a wake low that came through, a very bad pressurized storm that came through the area, caused a lot of tides and waves and wind and stuff. And it flipped this platform, if you will.

And this platform, if if you are not from Louisiana or from our area or understand what the oil field looks like, these platforms have three legs. So when they're going out to sea, they're floating, basically, and the legs go up 192 feet or however high they build the platform.

So when the vessel gets to the area in which they're going to do work on the oil rig, the legs drop down and bed themselves on the ocean floor, if you will. So the platform is suspended above the water. OK, so, well, this the C Corps, you know, it's it took off. It's going to its job site.

And this wake low comes through, causes turmoil, if you will, and flips this vessel to which we lost about, I think, 17 people. Very, very, very, very tragic moment. And I think there were four survivors. Don't quote me. I got to go back and look at the articles. Well, I was a juvenile detective at the time for Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office.

And during that time, I was also volunteering and kind of heading up the chaplaincy program for the jail. Well, I got dispatched to Port Fouchon as the chaplain representing Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office. And I was sent there at request of the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard chaplains, they came in. started up everything.

And then when I got there, I'm not going to say I took over because I didn't even want the position. I was going there to assist them, but I got thrown in charge, if you will, to deal with the families as they went and dealt with the divers and the survivors that they pulled out of the water. Well, there was this guy there that had this gold pen. It was brass.

Well, there was this guy there that had this gold pen. It was brass.

It wasn't really gold, but it was brass, this brass pen. And I had to write something down. I'm like, hey, can I borrow your pen? So, you know, he gives me the pen. I write down what I have to write down. I'm like, man, this is a nice pen. Let me have it. And he's like, nope. And this went on for two weeks.

Well, a year later, they just had the anniversary for the C-Core Power, you know, search thing and whatnot. Well, I was not able to attend the ceremony, but one of my old coworkers went and he gave her a gift from me. So I'm like, OK, what possibly can I be getting from? I was I'm just a chaplain, you know, nothing serious, you know, hold on yards.

Well, she gets to my new place of employment to give me this gift. And she's like, you got to open it. You got to do it in front of me. And I got to take a picture and send it to him and whatnot. I'm like, well, that's cheesy, but I want to open it and see what it is. So I open it up and it's literally it's not the pen that I used.
