Louis described how the tool pusher turned his head to Louis

Louis described how the tool pusher turned his head to Louis and said, ‘Mr Newitt, I am about to pull this string up out of this hole. If there is not a mini lobster on the end of the string, You are going into the hole, got it?’

Louis said that he was delirious to see a ‘mini lobster’ a few seconds later. They went on to collect quite a few and Louis led them in a crawdad boil.

The rest of the story Part 2: To level out the low spots, dad would occasionally order a dumptruck load of sand. He bought a wheelbarrow from Sears. The job was to load the wheelbarrow with sand, wheel it to the designated low spot, dump it and then spread the sand. Step and repeat until all of the sand was gone. When dad first started this, I was too young to be of much use. So I played in the dirt and got into a heap of trouble for tracking it into the house. As I grew my involvement with the dirt transitioned from play to move. Dad updated the process to improve the health of the yard. The new process was to rake leaves into the low spot and cover them with the sand. This made a mulched sand area that really seemed to grow grass well. I did like using firecrackers to blow things up in the sand pile.
