This post makes me want to call 1 800 flowers so bad and place a big order just so I can say a tulip festival came to me.

I took my cats on a walk today, yes they have a jogging stroller. The weather was a little nippy, but I bundled them up in their sweaters and beanies. How is the weather up north?

Dang Bob,
    Remember you should play hard after working hard, or something like that.

Nice!  $100 in your pocket!

I love the rush of color in the pan!

Hey gang.  NASCAR is racing at Darlington SC in a few minutes.
(Notice the pace car.  It is a F1 open wheel car driven by Rachel Varga.  She always leads the pack.)  :)

Nice find Bob!  It looks like spider is going to town!  Reference to the Pale Rider movie.


I did some fishing and camping this weekend.

It would be a hair over $75 at spot price. But if I add the two small pickers & the little bit of dust I found with the nugget, it might get to a 100 bucks.

The thrill of seeing that yellow metal shine up at you is a rush. It's gold fever, my friend!  ;D

I used to do that! Gold I've found has paid for my parties in the past. But alas, my mojo, now days, is no-go.  :(

I watch Gold Rush all the time myself. I also watch all the off-shoots of Gold Rush. I don't prospect for the money although I have converted some gold to cash so I could party with my favorite Ladies.

Prospecting is fun. You get real up-close to hard work with a pick & a number 2 shovel. Buy good gloves!  ;D

We used to unload grain like that before hopper bottoms.

Did not expect this photo when opening this thread. Pretty cool, always wondered how they get the contents out.
