Let it be known.

I have journeyed the land. I have crossed mighty rivers. For four amazing days and three glorious nights I lived in a van down by the river.

Every morning I awoke and hiked nearly a mile to the Mine. And OH!, how my inner child yearns for the mines. I mined the hard rock, I broke the quartz, and I gathered the ore. Then I packed it out upon my back, as much as I could carry. Back over that boulder strewn goat track, back to camp. In the afternoon, I did it again. For the evenings I cooked my dinner over open coals and savored what I had earned.

For four days I had no shower, neither fruit nor vegetable, and scant entertainment beyond the delighted screams of the youngest campers nearby who had just discovered the joy of throwing ROCKS into WATER! Such joy they had found!

Now I am returned to my home, with my prize, three backpacks full of quartz / galena ore, and one rock/boulder so big I can barely believe I got it into my bag and carried out.

I smell of body odor, the sulfur of the mines, and the raw testosterone oozing from my pores. My eyes are clear, and my beard is bushy, luxuriant and full.

That is all.

I don’t think I believe in yield signs

I think everywhere there’s a yield sign either yielding should be common sense, or would be better served by a stop sign

I’ve never rolled up to a yield sign and though ā€œAh, good job that’s thereā€

Behold My Rocks!





Those buckets are in the 55-60lb range each. That big stone (it’s just dirty) is straight up Quartz with Galena crystals throughout. Had problems weighing it. Figure 70-90lbs.

The greyish spots are the Galena crystals, and should contain 1-3% silver. I’m hoping for half an ounce. The last pic is a piece that I accidentally knocked off the big boy rock. It really shows the cubic structure of Galena. See that gold-ish spot in the middle of the larger piece? That’s Iron Pyrite, a.k.a. Fool’s Gold.

Galena is lead sulfide. Pyrite is iron sulfide, my van smells like matches.

I was going to say ā€œI’m not one to shittalk Chrisā€¦ā€ but then I absolutely am :slight_smile: I just thought it was funny he was describing how UHF backscatter tags work while showing a magnetically coupled tag, then says ā€œNobody knows how these workā€ .. including you Chris :slight_smile: It’s all good though.. he’s a great enough personality conveying cool shit to the masses I can try to be less pedantic and reserve my petty comments to exclusively this forum.

That was like a GTA moment! Haha

My almost dream job turned into a shitty job. But oh well, been seeing some really cool behind the scenes stuff in racing. I’m all healed up, been driving the semi truck hauling the race car to events. We had a pretty good crash in Virginia. Fuel vent cap become dislodged due to a few impacts with other cars and sent fuel flying everywhere. Driver is fine, was released from the medical tent soon after.

Work life sucks, but my personal life has been better than ever after falling like a blind roofer for a gal.

[vent]Why is it that some older people don’t give a crap about important things like their passwords and pin codes!? And why the fusk do they play the victim card when you show frustration over having to fix their fuckups!?

You did this to yourself by not paying attention and not taking responsibility for your own stuff. Now don’t get upset when you don’t get a smiling customer service rep out of your family member who’s helping you for free! Let me sigh FFS![/vent]
