She's not a polished politician. She wasn't willing to lie to the voters like Rubin does so well. Still have 40% of the vote to count here.

Appears there's still some sane Americans

Maybe older? Lol

Yessssss. These commercials with kommander rat Kelly supporting old bug eye Rubin make me hurl.

Thanks bro. Took me hours of research just to fill the judge portion of the ballot out. If you haven't seen the ballot yet, its lengthy. But don't get discouraged, skip the retaining of judges portion if you must. If you voted for the darkside, you probably have a tampon dispenser in your man cave.

I thought Harris Waltz signs were an urban myth, hadn't seen a single one until yesterday in nw Scottsdale. What idiots, go figure.

I'm still blacksmithing several days a week at the ghosttown. Gives me great pleasure when I'm asked to repair or replicate items from a 160 year old mining camp or when old cowboys stop by to say thanks for what you do. Manager wants to put me on full time soon, but no, not interested. Gold is hovering around $90 a gram and I have a new canyon an hour from the house giving up her yellow bounty like I haven't seen in 40 years. Even the wife (yes, its official) says quit your job and dig instead. I think i peed a little when i heard that. Only 2 legged coyotes I've seen in these hills are the ones I invited along. Love the tranquility. I'll be missing opening day, 34B due to Turkey Day. Being married is great but the wife has a large family and mostly live locally. I'm constantly resisting the demands to be available on their whims. They all dine out and I don't want to, rather be out sampling the dirt in that next wash over yonder...

Theses are Es? I'll take them if so

That's a 6 ply? And what about sidewall?

I'm trying to research all these judges, I'm sure many do and many do not deserve to be retained. They're supposedly nonpartisan with no party affiliation, so far all I have to go on is which governor appointed them. Suggestions?

Poured in the nw valley. 1/4" easy

At long last, found the comet last night. Couldn't wait around for it's next voyage through our celestial neighborhood.

I was given permission to metal detect in an abandoned mining camp yesterday. Mostly tin cans and broken bottles were dug up but I did find one intact perfume bottle. I started finding where the crucibles from the assessors office were tossed and was hoping to find an intact one when I hit a good target. Wasn't attracted to a magnet, nor was the oxidation and crust rusty at all. Too big to be a coin and weighs exactly 2toz. Put it in acid and vinegar overnight. Tests out .925 silver. Why was it there in a 19th century dump? It's obviously been poured into a crude mold or crucible. Could the crucible have been tossed out with the silver still in it? Normally the crucibles are crushed and reran through the smeltering process because 100% of the mineral content is not poured out, leaving small amounts of precious metals behind. However it got there, this mine produced 250000 ounces of silver in its day. I can now account for two of those ounces.

The 50-70 Govt was first produced for the Springfield Trapdoor 1866-1873 and the 1869 Sharps. The .41 long and .45.long began production in 1873

I should have mentioned, .41 and not .41 short.

Some other good finds... The ghost town keeps giving up her booty. Treasures, or booty if you're a history buff I guess. Left to right. .41 Remington rimfire .45LC balloon head .50-70 Govt or 1 3/4" Sharps with Beret anchor type primer. Without cheating online, which case do you think is oldest?

You know when it's time to take the keys away from an aging dad or uncle. It was time to take dad's rifle when he was about to shoot a horse, trying to fill his cow tag.

Funny you should mention... sent this to my uncle as he's leaving for muzzleloader cow elk season. He raises Angus, should be ok.

Well done, sir

Well, I found another silver ingot at the mining camp. This one was a surface find while I was walking the 19th century townsite. Heavily oxidized and pocked with sediment, I recognized it was man made and the weight of the penny sized round made it worth soaking in vinegar and given a light brushing. Seemed like a curious weight. 12.77 grams of sterling. But when I did the math with the weight and silver values of the late 1800s, it hit me. The round would have been worth exactly 3 bits or .37 cents More proof the mining company was paying laborers in the very silver being extracted.

Up there?

They'll blame Trump
