Mrs. Townsend you're just tired of the Arizona in August, time for a vacation in Flagstaff, just a walk in the woods would make you feel all better or maybe a trip up on top of the Rim above Payson looking for some fossil coral. Grab Amanda and go for a day trip and you'll both be feeling better for it.

Considering how sick I felt most of today due to things out of my control, that sounds like a blast!

No fossils under the clay, but we found many fossil ferns.

We went out today and I found my first piece of jade it was very small.   I showed it to Frank, he confirmed it was jade and chucked it back into the water.   The second piece I found was a keeper, I have to say it felt good to find a piece.  Frank is a jade magnet  he can spot jade pretty quick and packlithic had some heavy hauling today.  She made lugging that stone look easy, so I was shocked when I lifted her  backpack out of the truck and could barely lug it out and to the house.  Fortunately packlithic saw me struggle and gave a helping hand.  That girl is pretty special.  She has so many good qualities, traits that give a person a better chance in life.   Hard worker, good to people and her parents, studious, I'm naming just a few.   She impresses me.

Amanda, You know you're in trouble when it is 117F at the  airport! Now get your rockhound buddy and head for the hills!
Helene, Are you going to take your jade finds as baggage or ship them home as postage?

Bah!
Rockhound buddy is coming over tomorrow to sit in the AC and BEAD!   :headbang:
I'll head for the hills at some other point, it is on the bucket list.

did you take time to chip away layers of that clay looking for fossils?

I asked for Monday off, boss told me to go (bad word here) myself.

I had a boss like that at the last job I had back east.  He almost put me into a grave.  It wasn't a good situation.  You could say my Husband rescued me from that.  Hang tough Randy, it will get better.

Im a truck driver, until there are transporter rooms like on star trek to move goods from one place to another on order. i will be a slave to the wheel.
