leapingbare flint
« on: May 01, 2011, 06:52:06 pm »
I have only worked burlington so it was interesting to see how the flint worked differently.  I found out rightoff that I really need to abrade more to prevent the platform from crushing.

I forgot to grab more cash at the ATM last time I was in town and ended up having to pass on his rock. I did get a nice looking piece of "$4!tty Tennessee rock" as Jesse was calling it, from Brad Harrison in exchange for some of my north carolina butter.

A- It was no biggy...probably see Jesse again before I can put it to justice
B- I'm not going to ask for rock.
C- I could have just out and grabbed more cash if I really felt like I needed it haha.

I need to make another rhyolite run. Now that I have my bigarse moose billet, I have a new found interest in punishing myself. Maybe, just MAYBE I can find some green stuff. Been thinkining of a new place to check, but just havent had time to look.
