    No slow down around Crosby . The wells are producing strong. We only do production work with very little service work. My only service work is to empty out a wellhead cellar everyday. When they did the surface casing the actually hit fresh water at 5 feet!! The wellhead cellar is a water well lol. I wouldn't drink it but its fresh water.

    we have been very lucky with snow so far, lets hope there isn't a spring revenge
