Today we had a blast learning about contract red flags, improving SAFER scores, shooting s***t and eating some spicy crawfish. We weren’t the best team but we weren’t the worst! Thank you to Baldwin Insurance and Brennan Williamson for the invite.

Last Friday, we had our annual Spring Safety Stand down and training day. Our crews learned about fall protection, CPR, heat exhaustion and First Aid. Drill rig operator yearly evaluations and driver evaluations were updated and the drivers were excited to do their driving tests in our brand new Peterbilt haul truck. Big thank you to Falltech for the harness/yo-yo safety demonstration, our customers for giving us the opportunity to take a training day and Doe Bellys for the delicious food.

16 years on this earth was not long enough for this good boy. Max you were a treasure and we will miss you. Everyone who knows Steve knows Max, from getting treats from the ladies at the bank to getting kicked off jobsites they are an unforgettable duo.
Max came into our lives as a young dog given to Jesse by a friend. Steve used to complain about how he ended up taking care of Jesse’s dog and then they became best friends. Steve even once told the insurance company he got into a wreck because he was trying to get Max a burger and he doesn’t like McDonald’s.
Yesterday we shared memories of Max as a family, we remembered when Jesse would sneak Max out in the middle of the night to go hunting and how excited Max would be. Max was obsessed with rocks and skunks, he took many tomato juice baths and hid bones all over the shop yard. He was happiest running through sticks of casing or getting into the pond and getting yelled at. He was a constant comforting presence in the Jones family and the Big Dog Family. He protected us, he loved us and he made us really mad when he ate a whole pan of food off the stove. Macky, Maxamillion, Maxine you will be missed. Hope you’re chasing skunks and swimming in dirty ponds in heaven. Maggie, you’ve got some big shoes to fill.
