'elsieCat'...I see that you just posted for the...
First time on Our Board, and we'd like to say:
To the Board!
'tdieh03'...No, it isn't a 'pipeline'...
What you are looking at in that picture is the Scale for weighing trucks in and out of the Pit, which sits in the back of the Pit office...
The big 'pipe' looking things are the guard rails for the scale, so that the trucks don't drive off the edge of the scale...
If you look at the newest pics from 'robinhood', you can see the same pipes painted yellow from another angle...
It looks like they go all the way around the perimeter of the Scale Office, like they are 'protection' from any trucks running into their building...
Because from misty's pics, it looks like the scale would be located on the back side of the Office, which is an unusual set up...
Agreed!!!...LOL
Thanks! Phil...Yes, I noticed a couple of them gals...
Looked familiar...They're worth looking at twice IMO...LOL
Hi Phil...Check post #9946
And the pic is too large to fit inside the IBox without stretching it...
If you have to edit it, please take out the left side of the pic, as "MY" Girl is on the far right in the back...LOL
RBAK Closed At ANOTHER 52 WEEK HIGH AGAIN TODAY!...
$13.49 up .14 from yesterday's 'Old' 52 Week High...
'dshade'...I see this is your first visit to our Board,
And we'd like to say:
To the Board!
It's nice to see another 'Founding Member' of IHUB 'interested' in PBLS...
Too bad the action on the pps after today's PR wasn't a little more 'interesting'...
A One Million share just went through on the ask...
Now that's more like it...
ne14atrade...Was that YOU AGAIN!!!...LOL
No Problem Kramrer...And I'm sorry if my rebuttal was...
A bit Harsh...Talking with Paul last night, he didn't even hint that a PR would come out today stating that the closing would be "Officially" Delayed...
We talked at length on this subject, and I expressed my fears of the Markets reaction if we heard Nothing from them today...
I am very happy that he decided to keep us all in the loop on this matter...
I only needed to see this one sentence of today's PR...
To keep us fully Invested in this Company:
Paul Alonzo, CEO of Phoenix stated, "The deal is done in principle. We have already begun the integration of ProGas into our overall operations..."
We are not going to sell one single share for some time now...
Thank you kelly for backing me up here...
Paul told you exactly the same thing he told me last night...
Did you discuss anything else that was 'new' this morning?...
And hey look, the ask is upticking to .024 today...
It looks like the market is liking today's PR!
Now just raise that bid too please...
Kramrer...Yes that was in the post of my talk...
With the CEO...The Woman who works at PrgGas who's husband died last week was the ONE employee responsible for signing off of some of these legal papers Paul mentions in today's PR...
Do you really think he was going to mention a "death in the family" in today's PR...I think he handled the situation with class and style...
What do you want, to see her name and position at ProGas in the PR, so you can check the Obituaries to verify all I have posted?...Get REAL!
And if you really think it's more important for this woman who is in MOURNING, to finish the paperwork, instead of dealing with her GRIEF, you are one COLD person IMVHO...
I think you are the one that deserves a Slap in the Face...
'YumiBubblegum'...I see this was your first post...
On our Board, and we'd like to say:
To the Board!

I didn't ask if there was any "dilution" going on...
And he didn't mention the subject...
If this Company was Fully Reporting, it wouldn't be hard to figure out...
If the TA wasn't gagged, it would be even easier to find out with one phone call...

Yes eggman...He did mention their continuing efforts...
Were still in full swing to get off the Pink Sheets...
And he did mention he would rather go straight to the AMEX, and bypass the OTC.BB because of the rampant MM Manipulation on that Exchange just like here in Pinkie Land...
So he is aware of that fact that being listed on the OTC.BB isn't any better than the Pink Sheets...
The time frame he mentioned for the move is still "before the end of Q2 '06"...
It didn't occur to me to ask how he raised the money...
To pay off this debt...He probably would have told me if I had asked...
As I mentioned, that was not the main purpose for my call...
Though it was one of the first things he talked about...
If he did raise the cash through selling shares, the good news is he won't need to sell any more shares now, as this debt is now paid off...
trythisagain...NO...I said he paid off a DEBT...
As in a Loan from a Bank...Do you think a Bank would take shares as payment on a Loan?...LOL
There are other ways of paying off debts than giving shares in lieu of payment...
Call him and ask him if you really want to know the details...He sounded very proud of the fact he has paid this $8.5MM debt off...
I didn't press for more information on this subject, as that was not the main reason I called him...
Good Morning All...I forgot to mention...
One important item the CEO mentioned to me last night...
He said that as of this week he has retired $8.5MM of debt from the Company Balance Sheet...
That means he has paid off the debt...In FULL...
He did not go into much detail on this subject, but he sounded VERY pleased that he had accomplished this...
I promised I wouldn't say...But I can promise you...
It's NOT Johnathan Ledbed...LOL
I will say he is known to be a "Top Gun"...
Call Paul for yourself and find out...
'itznotwillis'...LOL...One thing I forgot to mention...
About my talk with Paul Alanzo is that he said they have a PR man from Florida in their offices today, that claims he can do a MUCH better job of getting the WORD out on PBLS than their current provider does...
This man apparently has an Excellent reputation, and apparently really knows how to get the job DONE...
I will say I have heard his name before...
He was offered the JOB, and they will soon know if he accepts it...
I hope he does...We could really use someone of his caliber...
I LOVE Sushi...I'll have to post my best...
Recipe's for Sushi, and how to make the best Sashimi with all the fixin's...
That Question was "A Test of Faith"...
To see how Paul would "React"...
IMO he answered the question VERY WELL,
And NOW I'm satisfied that I/WE can TRUST HIM and...
THIS COMPANY...And there is NO reason to SELL now...
I just got off the phone talking to Paul Alanzo, the CEO of PBLS...
For over a half an hour...I was Amazed that he called me back so late in the day (6:30 EDT)...This was the First time I have EVER called HQ, or had ever spoken to him, and I have to say, I was VERY impressed...
First, the ProGas Deal IS a 'Done Deal', but there won't be a PR tomorrow announcing such, as an employee at ProGas responsible for submitting documents to PBLS Lawyers had a death in her family this week...Her husband died...
Expect this PR by Friday or early next week...
Paul mentioned that they had their lawyers draw up a $2MM contract for FEMA related work on the rebuilding of the levees, but decided that in the end, it was not in the best interests of the Company, because they did not want to be the "Bank" for this deal...
The Slidell plant that ships Internationally for Swimming Pool Products takes most of that grade of sand they produce, and the other grades of sand are being sold for 'cash' at a better paying rate than FEMA offered...
The Sand and Gravel Operation is selling everything they can produce, as fast as they can produce it...That's why the most recent photos of the 'Pit' do not have a lot of product stockpiled...
We didn't talk much about the Construction Division, but he verified that the clean up efforts in New Orleans have not gone as fast as anticipated...
He did mention that the rebuilding of NO could last up to ten years, and that they would be a part of it in a Big way, with the Sand and Gravel and Dirt Division, the Construction Division, and the Swimming Pool Division...
We talked about Kentucky and Wyoming Oil production Estimates, and the numbers he gave me were staggering...Nothing really new here, as the PR's pretty much say the same thing...
The Wyoming lease has NO legal problems as far as 'Environmentalists' are concerned...
We also talked about Seattle, and the fact that they had a meeting there with 25 Investors interested in further developing the O&G Division of the Company...No specific buyout of any particular Company was the reason for that trip...
I joked that we thought they were buying 'Starbucks' or 'Microsoft'...NOT!...LOL
Their next and newest Acquisition 'could' be an O&G Operation in one of the Western States (not Wyoming) with a Sizeable Oil Reserve (50MM Bbls)...I promised him I would not go into further details on this subject...
The buy back in the Open Market has NOT started yet, at least not in the way we had all anticipated...They have not yet found a Broker or two that will satisfy their needs...
But he did say that they Have been involved in buying a Large number of shares without the help of a 'Broker'...I promised him I would not go into further details on this subject...
The reason for the 'Gag' on the TA is: he was receiving up to 250 calls a day asking for the O/S and A/S, and that this TA has many other Company's he does business with...
He said that this Transfer Agent was going to 'Quit' doing business with PBLS if he had to continue taking this Volume of calls from PBLS Investors...Paul really likes the job this TA is doing for him, and did not want to take the risk of Losing him...
The most interesting and longest part of our conversation had to do with the games the MM's are playing with the pps of this stock...They are Very Aware of what is going on here...
He said that their Lawyers have suggested the best way to account for all the shares of this Company would be changing the Ticker Symbol and QSIP number of this stock...
Do you all understand what this will do to the MM's if they do this?
The MM's will have to account for every single share of this stock, and if they are Selling Short or Naked Shorting, they will Immediately be accountable for Every share they have shorted!
Can anyone spell "Short SQUEEZE"?...ROTFLMAO!!!
Now, here's the REAL Kicker...The reason I called Paul is because I personally own 2.35MM shares of this stock, and I have four brothers and sisters I have gotten in to this stock for a total of almost 8MM shares...
And to be Honest, all together we are DOWN almost $500K...I personally am down almost $50K on this trade...
I called to ask Paul to buy ALL of these shares for .02
He agreed without hesitation...I asked him: "What if the pps is at .01 next week, will you still honour this DEAL", and he said "YES!"...I asked him to "write it down next to my name" to be sure we had a DEAL...
I WILL take this as a Verbal Agreement like 'man to man', and KNOW it will be DONE as agreed upon...
He explained that he didn't want any Shareholders that weren't interested in Holding this stock for less than two years...He wants nothing more than to "Get rid of" the Day Traders, Penny Flippers, and other Non-Believers...
He said he would take our shares, and "Retire them" to the Safety of the Company Treasury...
If you don't believe me, call him and ask the exact same question, and I'm SURE he will tell you the same thing...
I leave this Friday for my 50th Birthday Celebration in Orlando, FL., and have plans to meet Paul and Company on the 9th-15th of December....
When I return, I will have a LOT more to say here on the Public Board about my Experiences...

WhazzzzzzzzzzzzzUpppppp....Larry...Me?
I'm getting Freakin' LIT tonight...LOL
Here ya' go Larry...I'm sending one to Everyone!
ENJOY!...LOL
MEGA Monster!!!...These Girls ought to keep y'all...
BUSY for a while...ROTFLMFAO
Hey Phil!...Think you can Squeeze these Gals into the IBox for me???...
Just don't edit the one in the back row on the right out if you have to edit the size of this pic down...She's MINE!!!...LOL
Sorry it took so long Carlos...
I just had to find the perfect ASSistants to serve it to you...LOL
Hi Carlos! I NEED a BEER too, Real Bad...
What kind would you like?
grizzy...It gets 'quiet' here after the close...
On a day like today, because I'll bet a Lot of 'die hard' Longs are scratching our heads wondering WTF is really going on here?
I know I am...The Company "buy back" of shares is "supposed" to have been going on for the last two weeks, and all the pps does is go DOWN...
I thought the reason the Company initiated this buy back was to 'support' the pps, and actually get it to 'rise' to achieve a more 'true' valuation of the Company...
I got a PM today from someone I respect a Lot for his DD contributions to this Board, in reference to a post of mine yesterday about PBLS never having been on the Sho List:
http://www.investorshub.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=8652047
And he said that Mike Mulshine told him in regards to showing up on the Sho List for Naked Short Selling:
"PBLS is non reporting and will NEVER show up there until they report. Got that from Mike Mulshine."
He didn't say if he asked Mike M. if he thought PBLS 'was' being Naked Shorted, but I'm beginning to think that it is...
I was under the impression that the Company was well aware of what is 'really' going on, and that they had a 'plan' to put a stop to it...
It's becoming obvious whatever they planned on doing to stop this slide in the pps ISN'T WORKING!, and I am not at all happy about this...
The way the bid and the ask downticked in the final minute of today's session was just like rubbing salt into the wound on a BAD Day IMO...
Check out ARCA on the BID with 9999...LOL
What'll they think of NEXT???...LOL
LMAO ;^)))
Yeah I did...You are, and I also see you don't have...
Any competition...YET...LOL
Don't worry, I DON'T want it...
I've already GOT ONE...NOT!...LOL
That's freakin' Hilarious 'wccawa'...
A cigarette lighter and cup holder popping out of your computer...LMAO!!!
'Kramrer'...Since this was your first post...
On Our Board, we'd like to say:
To the Board!
kelly...Thanks for the very informative update from HQ...
It sounds like things are busy at the Sand Pit with 50 truckloads a day going out...
I wonder if they are all 12 Yard straight trucks, or if there are tractor-trailers also picking up sand too...
