I went to Hermiston last night to save Roy from getting in trouble with his wife, in order to do so I had to rent a semi and haul home a little over 20 tons of rocks. Hope you appreciate what I did for ya buddy! Amethyst Sage Polka Dot Agate Opal Butte thundereggs Here is the trailer I rented  Almost finished loading  There are some honkers in here, some are over 1000 lbs.  I love this truck! I am glad a friend of mine owns it. The only problem with it is that it chugs fuel from a big big hose, we had to put in 150 gallons on this trip.  Was great to see you again Roy, looking forward to next weekend. I am going to have great fun with these! Thanks for looking....................Tony |

What a haul.
150 gallons??? Wow, that's would cost over here, at current exchange rate a good 1500$ just for the fuel.

Holy S*************T!!!!!  Now there's the pictures I was looking for! You weren't kidding about that haul. I love it when I hear that big smile in your voice. Big kid in BIG candy store!!!! ;D ;D ;D I see that stone mountain growing even bigger with big old honkers like that. How in the heck will you cut those or do you have people with monster saws that actually buy rocks that size from you?  ? Just curious how that works out for you!!!!! |

Doncha' know that in about 30-40 years, someone is gonna be lucky as heck when he buys Tony's rock mountain??? ;D Of course, he's gonna have to be rich as well! It looks like Gooding is going to become the rockhounder's capital of Idaho, if it already isn't.

OMG!!! When I saw the first photo, I thought you were just funning. But when I saw the next one, I realized you weren't kidding!! What do your neighbors think? "Looks like Tony's gettin' a few more rocks, heh?" Lucky thing you got a friend with a big truck.
Agree with Donnie, we all hear that big smile in your voice! (Big) Kids and their (big) toys...
Your wife is a saint to put up with you, you had best treat her like a queen! Jean
Nice haul, BTW. Now the work begins.

I just want to know how much for 1 of them honker sized Amy Sage or Polka Dots so I can start saving to buy 1 of each!! Imagine that. Take an angle grinder and clean up the surface and then polish. Natural yard art, kinda like having large pet wood laying around but more agatey! |
