I feel for you, Mike. That sounds awful. Stay safe and warm.
Thank you, ma'am! I don't think they even really know anything still, there are a bunch of conflicting forecasts. I guess we'll see! I want to be paid for not knowing.

We've been waiting for days to find out what's going on with this storm...and now, even hours before it's supposed to hit, I still haven't heard anything definitive about the expectations. Pretty amazing. We're right above miket, but I think he's supposed to get harder than we are with this storm.

One of my sons just came by and gave me this, he stopped at a rock shop near me and thought I'd like it. He was right. 😁
Some bunny obvi loves you.
It's really great when your kids and/or grandkids appreciate that you appreciate rocks. I get them occasionally, too. That's a nice one and will make some sweet cabs.

I made a comment to my wife last week and she threw some driveway gravel at me...does that count? (Just kidding...she didn't really do that! )

Nice Indonesian Coral! You have a good son. And now I know what kind of coral it is, thanks Robin ! And he is a pretty good son- he's the one that got me into this mess hobby.

He's my grandson's dad and the one who introduced me to Fairburns. I think my grandson is into rocks also but he's only 5 so we'll have to see if it lasts.

A couple from yesterday. The current is running pretty fast. These are from the West area. Have not ventured to the East side yet.

Right place, right time. Will be picking up this saddle later today. Plan to restore it and maybe use when I get another horse. The saddle came with the rack and some related items. The Conchos appear to be oxidized, so will be looking for someone to make new ones. Maybe with some Turquoise inlays. That would fit the era and location of saddle. Or maybe the green centers are Turquoise. How cool would that be? This appears to be a custom, award saddle. Seller said he would share the history of saddle with me when I pick it up. I love restoring leather items. Have done a couple of saddles in the past.

No snow here but we will have a similar problem soon when my neighbor's Bradford Pear tree starts to shed it's flower petals. The ground will be white.

I always have to show my wife pics of your pup-pup! Don't you wish you had the same outlook as him right now with regards to the weather? We didn't start getting hit until around 1pm. I don't think we have even close to what you guys are getting out of this one...

If miket had two more, he'd have a sled team...and would be doing tryouts for the Iditarod! (If it were me, it would be tryouts for the "IDIOT-arod")

Nice pics! What kind of digital microscope did you get? You should post those in the macro thread.

Took this photo at the flea market for my wife yesterday as she's looking for a sapphire ring with accent diamonds. I put on each ring to see which finger they would fit and both would only fit on my little finger. When I got home I sized that finger and it was about a 7 1/4. Wife liked the one on the left but it was a no go as it was too small. I believe my jewelry/coin dealer friend said he wanted $150 for that 10k gold and sapphire ring.
