9:48 AM, getting ready to load a plant order to Marietta. Got to get back in time to load another to Senoia before round 2.
dodging rain storms constantly for 2 months, won't stop me.
I'd be there in a heart beat if I wasn't working. Pair of waders and a raincoat. Tarps on the car interior. Get them rocks !! You can wear a tux w/waders, peel em off and make the wedding clean and mud free.

Mine says partly cloudy 83F. It has also reduced rain chance to 35% this afternoon and only for 2 hour window. Bad stuff is crossing south of I-20 line. and get LaGrange It is nice out there now. A rose breasted grosbeak pair has been at the nyger feeder. Delivery is here. He has remarried, that is his ex. She is Columbian. Wife supervises this delivery. I gotta talk to that boy.

The sun finally came out here, jamesp. Humidity kickin' in gear. Haven't seen any rose-breasted grosbeaks around here. Very pretty bird! Maybe the pair have a nest? ROFL that you need to talk to your friend. Wonder where broseph82, Tonya and the kids decided to dig? Jimi??

We are at Graves. No luck finding anything big. Dave is here fantastic5 and may take him later to get a tour. Story goes an 8yr old found a rutile crystal so big that someone offered him and his dad $20,000 in the parking lot and they turned it down.

I won't be back tomorrow folks. Sorry gingerkid . We are staying in Thomson about 24min away. It wasn't as fun and exciting as we'd thought. We will be in the "area" looking for other stuff. The rutile that supposedly was offered 20k for was found in 2006 and is on the main table where you sign the liability forms.

It's humid as all hell now. It was pouring and cold when we arrived. Wife got mad cause her jeans were soaked and wanted to go get rain gear (besides just having a raincoat). She stuck it out and the rain went away. I did see kap and @munchie at their tent. Keith hooked me up with that pudding stone and is much appreciated. kap Pm me your address and I'll get some slabable blue slag pieces out to you. A dragonfly Before the rain went away the fog came down to play Kyanite Didn't think to take pics when I was on top of the hills on the upper pits where people dig mole holes for the rutile. Seems like I go to places and electronics get forgotten about.

It was good to see everyone at the Mountain! Jimi be sure the post some pics of the pieces I gave you when you cut it I have not cut any yet. Just got home after 4 days! We had a great time only a few hours of rain on Sat. other than that great digging weather. We did not dig much only a couple of hours on Thurs. and Friday but had a pretty good turn out selling. Sold maybe 900 lbs of rough the first 2 days! Going to wait until Monday to unpack I'm worn out!

Sounds like a great fig, gonna rockhound then you gotta like mud, dirt, broken fingernails, torn jeans, and grit in your sandwich!!!!!
Glad you had a great weekend with rock sales Kieth! I went thru that LFRB of slabs and there is a lot of petrified wood. That will be perfect for lil Caleb n I to make Tumble Crosses!!!
