Ms. Catherine went thru a drone phase and she did some awesome work. I had to buy her two, because one would stay wrecked and in  shop all the time.  This is an old video of her work set to Phil Collins music.

One of my favorite videos!! 

My family is very proud of what we do to make a living.  We believe what we do makes a difference.  We take care of our employees and the people that work for us and we are Texas, thru and true.

I do this blog stuff for fun, not to make money. I am not trying to sell you anything.  

The materials provided on this site are for informational and educational purposes only and are not intended to provide tax, legal, or investment advice.  I may make data related mistakes  occasionally; if you use my opinions about oil reserves or shale well economics for financial purposes, to buy or sell stocks, your nuts. Don't do that. If I have used a photograph incorrectly it was for educational purposes and I have done my best of to give credit where credit is due. My stories are all true, slightly embellished, perhaps, but true; I don't change names to protect the guilty. I am as accurate as possible about history and historical facts; I work very hard at that.All rights are reserved, whatever that means.  Don't blame me,  I didn't do it.
