joe still telling self it's just a hobby Member since June 2005 Posts: 4,900	A few new cabs Jul 1, 2007 22:15:03 GMT -5 Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Member Give Gift Back to Top Post by joe on Jul 1, 2007 22:15:03 GMT -5 Someone gave me a BIF! ;D Yup, a Banded Iron Formation, probably from the Great Lakes area. So I sliced it and rubbed it on my grinder and these came out. Also a piece of pet wood for variety. Thanx for lookin'!

	And Mother Earth spoke to me about her children and Lo! there were the rocks and minerals, the geodes and thundereggs, the crystals and agates. And I clasped them close to my heart. And Mother Earth smiled and welcomed me into her family. And I played with all the children in joy and peace forever as we all tumbled about.

	Aye, fight and you may die, run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take...
