Guys,
I tried calling Floyd, but no answer so I just figured I would email. I'm not going to be able to take care of
groups E and F anymore. My apologies for the last minutes notice. I had moved about 6 weeks ago and had
some guys there still taking care of it. They weren't doing well and I had to drive in and do half of it myself and
now they quit. Today has been 12 days I believe since they have been mowed. The one behind wal mart has
been longer due to the lock situation that I talked to floyd about. I know that Wayne and his guys are wanting
the work as I had talked to him a few months back. Again I'm sorry for the last minute deal but my guys quit
and I can't drive there and do it alone. I'm sure group f needs to be mowed asap as that's the service center and
plant. Again I do apologize. We are pretty caught up as far as pay. Only thing missing is the last time I mowed
each group which was 12 days or so ago and I'm sure I will be receiving that soon enough. My apologies.
Jeffrey Bailey
