What's up AD!!! Good to see you too bud!

My personal opinion is that the heavy construction industry is coming back but, like I've said before, the jobs that are going on now were in the works for a year or better. What the future holds is anybody's guess.

I will say this: the frac-sand industry is booooming! Frac sand is used in the oil and natural gas industry for retrieving more oil and gas from wells. Since its so hard to get approval for new drilling these days, companies are trying to get all they can from the existing wells.

The last 5 months I've been working on screening and production facilities for producing frac sand. One of the plants I worked on was owned by Enron Oil and Gas. These companies were willing to pay extra to get these plants up and running. And by extra I'm talking about a ton of (union labor) overtime labor costs. I've been putting in 70 to 80 hours a week so you can use your imagination about the kind of extra money this industry is willing to pay to get the sand out into the field.

I'll be hitting It pretty hard through the summer. Where it goes from there I don't know yet. I'm not sure what any of this means from a market standpoint but, if anyone can figure it out I'm sure you can.

Take care AD.
