Darn, you publicized your visit. I had the cages all cleaned out and ready for some new tenants. Don't worry about the half mile driveway and the remote surroundings. Nearest neighbor is 1/2 mile away lol.
Lets break down the 6 pound barrels and check out contents. Vibrasonic has a couple of big rocks in AO 80 and ready for clean out and polish w/Borax. Crank up the tile saw grinder and sling some mud.
Buddy Alan may still be here welding pits. He can help entertain, that one is full of color.
Tumblers in greenhouse, awful hot in there. I can take them down to the wash station to do the clean outs.
Two dogs got dropped off for a weekend baby sit, hope you guys don't mind(5) dogs.
See ya at 1:14
Yes, Ann is a walking back hoe. She digs like a gopher, an animal rock hunter. Adventure city.

@shotgunner, Ok, I except that. Guess I should keep it to myself that I'm also reading geology bulletins, texting my sis and smoking to much! BUT the ice cold beer is staying in the cooler until tonight!

No problem doing sweaty due to the tumblers being in the greenhouse. OK in winter, HOT in summer. Will move to wash area, cooler there. The cages(human slavery) are used on non-rock lovers. You don't qualify, no worries.

LOL! No problem Mel, unless you want this to go into the trip report section. I've never seen that category 😂 I try and look at each topic before I post anything new I swear !!! Yes, it would seem a better fit there. Plus if you move it I'll know where it is.

Jim an I spent the afternoon on into the evening having great conversation, me taking lots of notes about homemade tumblers: internet sights to search an a crap ton of general BS'n. We cleaned out tumblers , , he showed me a new gadget I GOTTA GET! A plasma cutter!! This is us in our matching plasma cutter glasses He's so photogenic! He took a thick piece of copper an in 3 minutes turned it into something beautiful. , , . I ended our visit after a wonderful dinner with him and his lovely wife. Thank You jamesp for being a wonderful host, welcoming a stranger onto yalls property and never hesitating answering all my questions!!! Can't wait to stop in again soon. Now in the am, time to Rockhound!

Gotta love them Mississippi gals !! If you need a pluck rock hunting partner call Melissa. I'm gonna check your ID next time, no way you got 3 grown kids. Gracious.
Had a blast. Thanks for stopping by. Guess we should have jumped in the swimming hole to cool off, sorry about the heat. Didn't seem to phase you. I hope you get your tumbler set up the way you want it. Find cool rocks at Summerville. Learn lapidary techniques at Holland. And keep your eyes on the road lol.
Door's open. Light's on.
Maybe those guys will turn you on to a better collecting spot this time.
Travel safe and thanks for stopping by.

Speaking of Rockhounding: I was unloading my gear before the sun came up at the Summerville quarry. Was there from 5:30-12:30 all by myself! , , . I'll post more detailed pics soon. I'll be pulling into WH in about 45 minutes. I need washing worse than the rocks right now!
