ROFL, "3 foot putt down," mohs, you are a hoot! The putt putt golf was a short distance from the mounds. They probably would've arrested Rick for having putt putt golf on the mounds (and looking for gals).

Gonna try this post a 3rd time... (my apologies) Hi, peachfront. I received your e-mail and saved your file on the laptop this morning. Thank You for sending it!! I attached the Nook Tab 4 to our laptop and moved your file to the Nook's sd card. I am unable to open your book on the Nook with an app called Cool Reader. Cool Reader is an ebook reader that is supports epub (non-DRM), fb2, doc, txt, rtf, html, chm, tcr, pdb, prc, mobi (non-DRM), and pml formats. When I look at the properties of your file with the Nook connected to the laptop, it only states 'file' and does not list a file type. It shows that there are 500+ KB in the file. Here is a screenshot showing what happened when I tried to open your book from the sd card storage on the Nook. Here's where I tried to open another book stored on the Nook's sd card that gives me options of which application to open it I checked Amazon this morning to see if I could locate your book, and couldn't find it. I don't know what to do. ??

Thank you, roy! I didn't know that about Biggs and Deschutes, and looking forward to your pics when you post them.

That's a very large piece of Dark Sky Owyhee rough that you are waiting for, jakesrocks. I thought I had a slab of it, but cannot locate it. I hope you'll please post a pic of your Biggs with the dark sky, too! A couple of posts up, I have a pic of a polished slab of Deschutes with the dark sky - the one with the flea bites. Here's a pic of Dark Sky Deschutes rough that I have: @rocks2dust mentioned to me to be sure and wrap slabs so they will not rub against each other, which creates the "fleabites." The other day, I straightened up my materials that I have stored in a dresser (of all places, lol) and woke up the next morning to discover that we slept with a slab.

Glad you were able to get out and enjoy hunting for those darn pretty rocks, snowmom! Just kidding about the large bead. Would be interesting if you asked Jugglerguy to make one for you, though.

stephan, did your parents keep the paint mortar?? "Miwoks of the north Bay area were pretty warlike sometimes I think. Their points are wicked looking barbed affairs. Read somewhere they dipped then in poop so when the barbs broke off the wounds festered....Mel" Read more: forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/post/new/70147#ixzz3WFlm9JCLWow and ouch! There are some Indian mounds in Blakely, Georgia. Weird thing that pearls were found along with pottery that was probably used for ceremonial purposes. Wonder how/where they had pearls?? Maybe river pearls? These mounds are astronomically aligned and "The largest of Kolomoki’s nine mounds is Mound A, making it the Indian mound with the largest land base in the state of Georgia." lostworlds.org/kolomoki_mounds/Rick worked at Kolomoki as a young sprout when they opened up a putt putt golf thinking he would meet girls. Much to his surprise, only older folks played golf, lol.

That's a beautiful pic jasp pendant you designed, Don. I am not sure what type of picture jasper is in your pendant. I've seen Deschutes with a dark landscape, but haven't seen any Biggs, although it could be Biggs. It looks like Biggs to me since the "hills" are not as defined as the ones seen in Deschutes which is supposed to help differentiate the two jaspers, but I am not sure. I have also seen one variant of Owyhee picture jasper called Black (or dark) Sky Owyhee.

Nice finds, snowmom! Were you able to get out yesterday and find these beauties? That would make a beautiful and Very Large bead. Maybe Jugglerguy could make one for you?

Did you know that Columbus, Macon and Augusta were settled on the fall line because of rock obstructing upstream barge traffic back in the old days ? They were sort of inland port towns for goods transported by water back when. I did not know that and many thanks for sharing. Columbus has white-water now. Did you know that the Little Grand Canyon in Lumpkin was caused by erosion from "bad farming?" I had a good chuckle after hearing that it was caused by bad farming. Wonder what kind of rocks can be found there... All kinds of sewage and trash comes down the Chattahoochee into West Point Lake. Ticks me off to see on the Atlanta news that there's been "another" unfortunate spill of garbage into the Chattahoochee. The nutria probably floated down the Chattahoochee on a raft. lol. Look what I found: Worldwide Distribution, Spread of, and Efforts to Eradicate the Nutria (Myocastor coypus) "Georgia: Nutria were introduced into Georgia for weed control by State and Federal agencies (Evans, 1970, 1983). They are now feral there (Deems and Pursley, 1978)." Pardon my French, but what a bunch of empty-headed heehaws. Denise buys Nutria Jerky for dog snacks-go figure. oh dear... They were not beavers, and pretty sure they were not were not wharf rats. They were swimming in the lake and it looked as if they had a couple of burrows on the lake's bank. A good friend of mine said they were probably nutria. Needless to say that I got out of the water when we saw them because we were not sure what they were or if they may try to chew on me, lol. wharf rat on steroids

Enjoyed your photos of your trip to the Spectrum mine and 'news' from the ancients, quartz. Beautiful gemmy sunstones and the one that your wife found is killer. Do any of the champagne colored sunstones have schiller in them? Glad that y'all have electricity.

Otters are common though, them suckers will bitch slap a gator. Glad the otters are w/good disposition. Best not anger an otter. They are very playful and fun spirited in most cases. ROFL, sure made me chuckle when I read your statement about otters, jamesp. Rick and I have seen nutria while fishing below the dam at West Point Lake. Didn't know what they were when we first saw them - wharf rat? beaver? Cannot believe folks enjoy eating them. yuck.

@shotgunner and jamesp, I remember our discussion of why we don't have Eastern diamondback here and other species - we live right above the fall line. "Georgia: restricted to the Coastal Plain, occurring on the Fall Line sandhills below Columbus (Fort Benning) and thriving on Georgia's sea islands." Source: www.iucnredlist.org/details/64308/0

Cool inclusions in coprolite pics, bhiatt! The jaw in the coprolite is boggling my mind. Fascinating.

...160F sugar syrup woke those nerves up LOL. Glad you removed your vibe from your greenhouse, jamesp. It's supposed to get rather toasty today. But, cold weather will move in this weekend after it rains later today. So tired of everything being water-logged and wacky temperatures, are you? Happy Good Friday, y'all!!

? jamesp Num lock is a key that you press on the keyboard to type numbers. On our Toshiba laptop, even though there are numbers at the top of the keyboard, there's another set of numbers on the right side of the keyboard that are set up like a calculator or phone where the num lock key is located that usually helps enter numbers much faster. If you press the num lock key, you can use those numbers. Is this what you are asking about, James?

Good ones, mohs! jamesp, I don't think our Dell laptop has num lock on it. If I come across 'how to' with the Dell and Mac, I'll post it for you.
