Ralph who is the pres. of the withlacoochee gem and mineral club turned 62. On the 4th he became very lucky as he survived a massive heart attack. It was the 1st time in 24 years that all of the siblings got together. Since I drove from MT I stayed over 2 weeks and knowing I'd have extra time on my hands brought some stones to wrap. Here are 66 of the 89 I managed to get done.

A couple pics of ones I really like

Thanks for looking, Dave

Randy- That's only an avg of 9 per day. The most I've ever done was sitting by the Boulder river south of Big Timber, MT waiting on family to arrive and did 23 in copper. Was hard for meto tie my flies on the line after and didn't catch any trout. Everyone else was using worms and caught plenty. I have some more of the stuff you sent me to post also. So much to do and so little time. getting ready for 3 shows in 7 days next week.
Thanks for all the kind comments, Dave

I know how it is to keep the hands busy during those times. Not only did you do a ton, but they all look really great, too!

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
