Came a ring of the doorbell this morning. There stood my trucker buddy, his tractor blocking the driveway. He stopped in while in my area to hand deliver an early birthday present. A beautiful plate of smokey quartz from a pocket he found & is cleaning out.

Thank you Pat. It's nice having a trucker buddy who's also a rockhound. Never really know what he might bring when his job brings him up my way.

Don that is a super nice specimen. He is a good friend to gift that to you. He is at that Scott. Couldn't ask for a nicer, more generous friend. Just ask Mike / fossilman. He knows him. He also left this with me. A nice big selenite specimen that I've been slowly cleaning up. I'll have to ask him where he collected it.

Don giving is sometimes greater than "getting"! Your trucker friend is a great guy!

Don giving is sometimes greater than "getting"! Your trucker friend is a great guy! Goes both ways. The last time he was here, he left here with between 500 & 700 lbs of rock. Trip before that it was a like new 20" HP vibrolap. I'm starting to weed out some of my material so my wife isn't stuck with unloading it when I'm gone. Bob has been a very good friend for quite a few years, So I'm passing much of it on to him. In return when his job brings him this way, instead of loading me down with rock, (which is his nature. Just ask Mike), he brings me a few nice specimen pieces which he's self collected on his travels.
