Dawn419 & doc's LSTA: Confounded Computer!!!

Yes, I meant it that way about hurting the rocks. I have a kind heart! :love

...and the rocks have feelings, I don't want them hurting mine! :gig
 
I had one as a kid, I guess now you can say that I have 17 acres of pet rocks! :gig

Hmmm, I'm now wondering if the pet rock didn't start my rock-hounder habit. We didn't really have rocks in South Jersey, where I grew up at...just lots of sand, cedar swamps and huckleberries.

Moved to TN after I got out of the Army in '87 and fell in love with rocks there. Okay, I see a dull day, cool rock pic post in y'all's near future! :gig
 
There are some rocks in SJ, they're just few and far between-and not that large. I did have a pet rock as a kid-but not one from the store. I thought buying one was stupid when I could just find some poor, homeless rock outside and bring it in to the warm, shelter of my house. It was a very good rock. It never once tried to escape, peed in the house, or ate anything it shouldn't have.
 
Changing the subject a smidgen....you're gonna LOVE the Foxfire series!!!! I have about half of them :D I read them over and over, they're SO entertaining!!! Enjoy them :)

I used to hunt rocks when I was a kid, got out of the habit somewhat now. There are lots of cool rocks around here though. I should get back into it sometime, I kinda miss the walking around looking at the ground :lol:
 
Aside from my pet rock, most of the rocks around here would probably be classified as gravel or sand! :lol: On our property, it's rare to find anything larger than a quail egg! But there is a large "rock field" about 1000 yds down the ravine to the southeast of our place with a really interesting variety.
 
Well, I've got the Foxfire set coming!!! :celebrate Doc said to order them from Lehmans, so I did! :love It'll cost me a cigar order and I can live with that! ;)

Good visit at Mom's yesterday but I am sore today as we walked her fence-line and it's all up and down, hilly property (about 40 acres). We'll go back on Wednesday or Thursday with the chainsaw and do some clean-up work along the fence line for them.

Decided I'd get some garbage burned this afternoon since it's so wet here and I no sooner put a flame to the first bag only to have the wind start blowing like crazy. :barnie So, I gathered some of the small pots up and have them soaking so I can get seeds started.

Went to get some pix off the camera only to have the computer tell me that it doesn't recognize the USB device. :he Is it Monday already??? :hide
 
Sounds like Monday...

Wish I had the whole set of Foxfire books! You'll have to fill me in past Book 5 :lol:
 
Ohhh the Firefox books. I forgot about those.
gee, something else I need to read!
