Hey all. Robert is on vacation in San Francisco this week and we arranged to spend the day together today. I got a late start this morning but finally made it up to SF and drove him back here to my house, where we talked about rocks, looked at rocks, talked cabs, looked at cabs, and I showed him all my homemade equipment. I think he was impressed at the stuff I made but I think he was having way too much fun looking through all my slabs. We didn't even have time to look through my rough rock. He was wearing a baseball cap when he got here, but by the time he left, it was full of slabs. But what he doesn't know is that he'll be getting more slabs in the mail when he gets home. I didn't want to weigh down his luggage too much. besides, he needs to save some room for some nice Napa Valley wines. Robert is one hell of a nice guy and if you ever get a chance to meet him, by all means, do so. I also got some good knapping tips from him, so now I guess I'll have to try my hand at knapping. Thanks for the great day Robert and I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay here in the Bay Area.

Glad you guys got to meet and have a good day. Hey Robert, did you pry loose any of Ed's "secret" techniques for perfect cabs?

Glad you guys had a great day together. Of course, when isn't a day full of rocks any good...NEVER! Stoner, post some pics of your kanpped points when you get to it. I know Robert did very well at this, and I haven't tried it for a long time. Too much, too little time. Steve

Ed- Are you sure he looked thru all your cabs? I think he'd need a good week to do that! Good to hear of your meeting...sounds like a good time. gaetz
