As long as oil prices are considered "up", yea.

But oil prices, and the oil industry drops.

Thats Exactly Why I Was Talking A 10 Yr Time Frame
WHAT COULD YOU DO TO MAKE THAT CO . PROSPER - TO SAVE THEM BIG$$$
TO MAKE THEM BIG $$$ - AND HOW MANY SHORTCUTS DO YOU KNOW THAT ARE NOT COMINLY KNOWN ?
HOW MUCH CAN YOU PUT AWAY FOR YOUR SELD IN 10 YRS - AND WHAT KIND OF A RETIREMENT ARE THEY OFFERING -?

Here Is The Thing Frosty - Having A Good Working Knowledge Of The Business Is Great - But Making A Plan That Saves Them Big $$ And Time Is Where The Money Is - And Being Able To Spot A Sub Contractor Or Supplier Scamming Them -this Is What They Are Really Willing To Pay For- The Big $$$ - There Are Engineers Available To Do The Routine Stuff - And In A Start Up You Have The Opportunity To Sell Your Self
Think About It And Don`t Sell Your Self Short- Remember They Called You - They Already Knew What Your Present Salary Was And The Perks You Get
MY DAUGHTER USED A SIMILAR PLAN STARED AS A CLERK IN ACCOUNTING THEN HEAD OF ACCOUNTING THEN COMPTROLLER -NOW SHE IS SR SYSTEMS ANALYST FOR THE CO. LG CONSTRUCTION CO NEAR ST LOUIS .

From the bottom of my heart, thanks guys! It really makes me realize what kinda friends I have and I appreciate it. This has been going on for awhile now. I'll fill you both in the next time we talk on the phone. I'm just giving it one last effort before I throw in the towel, AGAIN, mostly because I have some kinda weird sense of duty as her son I guess.

You keep yerself SAFE down there T-Rad. Tie yourself to your house, then we'll know the house won't go anywhere!

The mornin' coffee is set up, just turn on the switch if I ain't here. Got a water leak in the horse barn that I have to address in the AM. If the horses are floating, I won't have time for breakroom duty!

Night shift checking in.......

Heidi, YOU said it, not me...

Mad.. package went in the mail today, keep an eye open for it! specialty recipe..long, very funny, story behind it too

Scott, you got the lake, why do you need a hole???? deep water, big rock, short chain, end of story........

Fronty, that kinda deal can be scary, but i would think it would come down to this.. if you were planning on leaving where youre at eventaully, and arent happy with what your doing, then it might be worth taking the chance..
just figure out what your options will be if the start up goes under, and leave them available.......

T-round, being round should make you very un-aerodynamic, with little lift surface, so your safe..... remember to run out side and get some good up close video for the local news.

The BOSS made chocolate -cherry swirl fudge, if yall behave through the night, you can have soem in teh morning ( if theres any left)...

Time to go to work............CD

Got a thunder blizzard going on right now. Couple of inches on the ground at the house and got worse as I came on in. And then.........nothing. Just wet roads. If you don't like the weather in Arkansas, just drive a couple of miles up the road.
Another JTA day starting already. Got several phone calls yesterday while in the middle of a plate of ribs. "You're listed as the Point of Contact, when are your going to this and do that. You need to be on the border yesterday." Anywho, hetting packed up and will be rolling towards Lordsburg, NM Friday morning. React is all some of these people know. I've got it handled tho. Told the boss not to be concerned with attempting to explain it all to me, I'll get back with you when it's done. (wonder how I can spell out micromanagement to the tune of the Mickey Mouse song?)
Time to get everything opened up and prep for all the inclement weather phone calls.

My boss is a......mo-O-ron.......and I don't really care. There you go SR, to the tune of The Mickey Mouse song.

Morning all. Lots of wind and rain last night. Two unconfirmed tornadoes reported in western counties, daylight should sort things out. Camp Shelby in Mississippi got hit, 14 guardsmen injured. I guess I'll have to run and check the jobs this morning, don't need allot of mud in the streets. Been working in the neighborhoods where all the "important" people live.

Hat, you need to keep an eye on the weather today. It's coming for ya and will most likely get worse as the day goes on.

Daylight heating usually is a bad thing when you have active thunderstorms. We just got very lucky last night. I think Georgia and SC are going to have a rough day today.
