Nice polish on that material its hard to get a nice shine on it. I have a chunk in my front yard also I have no idea how much it weight's I cant pick it up. Its close to 300 lbs. as I could pick up 250lbs. plus when I got it years ago. I was in Alpine at a rock shop at a motel looking in a rock bin when a guy walks up and starts talking rocks of course. He tells me he was in Llano and dug up a huge chunk and could not lift it so he left it where he dug it up at. He told me where it was, sure enough it was still there. I rolled it down off the hill it hit with a big thud I thought it would break apart but it did not even break a small piece off. There was a pot hole on the berm of the road put the back wheel of my van in hole rolled big boy over to bumper rolled it on edge of bumper and on into van with great effort lol. Got home rolled it out into garden been there since that day and have no plans on moving it lol.

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)
