No time or energy to read up on geology. We are expecting 300 barn guests and I want to have my shop looking decent in case some decide to visit it. I really could use a lot more inventory. When I rearrange things, blank spots appear. Today somebody visited my shop, a fine person I am sure, but he had a forceful way of asking questions, and I was at a disadvantage because I wasn't expecting it. Anyway, he asked how long I had lived on the property and I said all my life. He responded by speculating on how long a life I had lived, and he guessed accurately, which made me damn $%^&**ing mad. I'm used to people either underestimating my age or holding their tongue. Maybe time has caught up with me, or I have to get back on the treadmill, comb my hair when I get up, and wear make up not just for special occasions anymore. !@#$$%^^&&
I made a good trade the other day, jasper and hematite for copper and turquoise and similar ores including lead silver.
