Great HD story, captbob ... It's similar to how people act at Costco. Stand in the middle of the aisles waiting for the silly samples. I can't stand going to Costco and it puts me in a really bad mood.

I with you Sabre52. I do not go to "Black Friday" sales, primarily due to the crowds and the resultant bad behavior. Sometimes, we go out geocaching or hiking. About the only thing that will force me to go to Wallyworld is when they have ammo on sale. Then I'll go (or one of my church buddies will call and one of us will go). I take it back, I did go out one Friday last year but that was to Nevada Book and Mineral to look at some rocks. This year, I'm primarily shopping on Amazon to avoid the crowds. Paul

We don't have the Thanksgiving cellebration ove here, but I am so thankful for being part of such a wonderful group of people, and even more thankful for meeting some of you! Adrian adrian65, start your own tradition! Get the family together on this weekend (or any convenient weekend) and do an annual Thanksgiving weekend potluck!

Do anything less than 80 on that stretch of the Five and people are climbing over you trying to get by.

Agreed. I end up lopping off some of pitted ends and such as well.

That makes sense. So, would you be willing to sell a few slabs? I'll have to see exactly how much I have, but I would rather sell rough when I know I can get more. Got it, thanks anyway! Paul

Happy Thanksgiving all! Anyone heading out this weekend to do some rock hounding? The local club (Searchers) is going up to the Owens Valley ... Crystal Peak, I think.

Nice cabs as well, glennz01 . PM sent as well. Curious on the Rainbow Rhyolitic ash. Thanks Paul Quite a few people are, I have a few slabs but I don't have enough rough to really sell rough, I mainly have that page as an example of typical local things I can make items from. Last year I did not find any of the ash in cab-able quality. If I do find enough next year I will sell rough or slabs but it will take a major river flooding to bring down new material to where I get it... and going up stream to get it there are many miles I would have to go (30+) which has no trail. That makes sense. So, would you be willing to sell a few slabs?

Jeremy, these are awesome. Love the orbicular jasper thingy at the end! All of them came out great.

Well, I have lots of clay cat litter available as I use it to clean off slabs so I think I'll add some into my barrels at tonight's change out; you guys have me really curious about this now. I never bothered trying this option.

Great information, Dave. I think I'll move to 3-4 day change outs. Keep us posted on what you find as well!
Thanks Paul
