Haven't been posting much in the past eight or nine months. Couple of reasons for that. First off, I was dealing with some drug interaction issues and couldn't trust myself to not spout off a bunch of garbage. Once we figured out what was happening, my doctors changed some stuff around and it has made a huge difference. All those things affect people differently. I wish I had realized it sooner, but there are a few people on here I owe apologies to. These days I just act like a sort of normal jerk, instead of a &*(#$@@! jerk.
Other thing-The last couple of years we've been dealing with health issues (mostly mine), work issues and whatnot. Got talking about downsizing, then my better 9/10ths decided to make a career change. Sooo, we're moving to Nevada. Smaller property, no more four hours a week mowing the lawn. Actually, we're planning on no lawn. Rocks and Roundup. Spend the time in the hills messing around. We closed on a house down there last month, right now I'm running back and forth getting that place ready to move in, and this one ready to sell. New adventure, new country to explore. The next few months will be a little crazy but I really think in the long run we'll be coming out ahead. Heck, it'll be closer to Quartzsite, and maybe we can make it to some of those SoCal shows you all are always talking about. Life is full of changes, we just roll with them as best we can.
Well, if you got through all that, have a great day.
Russ

I'm feeling you Russ. I am past ready for a move like that, maybe not a change of address but definitely a lower stress way to make the house payments. Hope this means I get to meet you in Q or maybe a hounding trip.

Russ that's awesome news I think. Having spent time with you at McDermitt I think your a stand up guy - not sure what you feel the need to apologize for but if anyone needs a character reference send them my way.
May I inquire as to what part of NV you are moving to? If it's the northern half (good half) I think we should do some rockhounding as soon as possible after you get settled in. I can show you some decent spots and I'm betting you know a few too.

We'll be in the northern half of Nevada-which still isn't that far from the warm part come winter. Doing some rockhounding sounds great-hopefully by late summer we'll be freed up enough to do some stuff. We haven't poked around there a lot, enough to know there is some interesting stuff around.

Ok, the first thing you should do right now, not tomorrow BUT NOW. Get a mirror. Who do you see. A man, right.... That did the right thing. Many things. Enjoy the new place, sounds great... No grass to cut, yahoo. More time for important stuff.....whatever you like.
Have a good day

Congrats on the downsize & move. Don't forget the rock & mineral shows inn Rapid City,S.D., & hounding the grasslands in that area for Fairburns.
Know what you mean about the drugs. Doc has me on some sweeeeet happy pills right now.
Enjoy your new surroundings. I have a trucker/rockhound buddy who passes thru Colorado often. Great guy. Maybe I can hook you up with him.

I've been there so know what you've been through. Glad to see you out of the other side.

Hit me up when you get all settled in and feel up to poking around a bit - I've got a couple of special areas up there we can go do a little digging at.
