Journal Entry 050813-A: Southern Foundation Drilling Company, Inc II.









Friend's,

I thought I would post these pictures for a friend of mine.

My ex-wife and I were in the Chinese Restaurant on highway 98 in Tillman's Corner, Alabama when we looked outside and the snow started to fall.

Brian is the only man I ever called on a snowy day and asked if he would go to work moving a dump truck and trailer with a front-end loader in which the trailer had an oily, slippery all steel deck and he said "Hell Yes"!

God Bless you Brian Bolton. Man were those the days when it actually snowed in Mobile, Alabama and we went to work!

I hope putting that dad-gum transmission in the old van by hand hasn't hurt you as bad as it has me! I remember us laying there with the dad-gum thing on our chest saying something like- Dad-gum I think we can pick it up and it will go on in if everything stays lined up. LOL! Yeah. That's what we said.

Man I don't think I could have put that ring sleeve in that FWD at soft-ball city without you. I never will forget having the nut on the breather fall down into the carb on that job and having to repair that truck in the parking lot.

I never will forget that job in Huntsville, Alabama. Man there wasn't supposed to be any water in the ground there but maybe the soil report was done in August for God sakes. By October it was sleeting and gushing water in the bottom of those holes at the Blue Cross building.

You came out of the ground purple and shaking not to mention wet and I sure as hell appreciate what we had to do to get that job done. I wish my Dad had let us go to Hershey, Pennsylvania in January and put Caisson's in a area filled with broken up concrete. LOL!!! The job was only in January.

He had been to Charleston, West Virginia and got a hernia with old Ruben Johnson in the cold so I guess Hershey wasn't such a good idea for me to consider.

We fixed it and finished that dad-gum job dog-gonnit!

Those were the day's now I'm telling yall.

Your dad stopped by the store last year and I sure enjoyed talking with him.

I hope you and your family are doing well my friend.

God Bless, Peace, Love and Knowledge!
