Roy gave me a holler,asked me if I needed any thundereggs......He made me a deal,I couldn't pass up!!!
Wife Tammy and I packed up and did a road trip for the weekend....
Played in the rock pile,than relaxed,had dinner with Roy and his wife "Bonnie"...Took off the next day back to western Oregon...
Made a stop in the Gorge to visit the "King" of thundereggs "Jason Hinkle"....
Made it home,sorted the goodies out and they are ready to cut.....
If your looking for a great deal with great people,you can't beat Roy with his material and prices....
Thanks again Roy,we enjoyed the weekend there....

Here are the photos from the road trip for the thundereggs and other material.....

Always wanted a huge egg,now I do.......

All washed up and cleaned,ready for cutting....(sitting on a five gallon bucket)..

Also did some extra "Horsetrading" and scored some "Biggs" jasper......Been wanting some for a long time!

Put in new blade a few weeks ago...

Wow, those are nice! That big one is amazing. I bought a half dozen small T Eggs a few years ago that were small enough for my saw. Was bummed when I cut the last one, as it is so addictive to anticipate what may be inside the next one. Looks like you will have lots of cool surprises in that lot!

Thumbs up

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)
