This begs the question as to whether the "stingy" rumors about Ernesto are true and that meant that Elmer's hands were tied from drilling as much as he'd like. We don't know. Still trying to explain a few mysteries.

Yes, I have a theory. Even though we had a good banker his pocketbook and cashflow is not unlimited. We got the money but only chunks of it at 4M at a time. This limits what one can do since our drill season only lasts 4-6 months.
