Got myself in trouble

(1/6) > >>

Keenan:
 Last night I was on Craigslist due to not sleeping well. Skimming through the ads as normal and then my eyes honed in on the add.  FREE OBSIDIAN  2000 lbs. worth.  Having  just been diagnosed with one ruptured disk and two bulging in my back and scheduled for surgery I knew I was already in trouble.  To "not call" was not an option and looking at the time the add was posted I was certain I would be the first to call,,, ::)  Like a junky I could not help myself. 
  The man on the other end of the phone had no idea that I was susceptible to such a great temptation.  He explained that He was into lapidary and didn't really care for the obsidian and that he had a bunch slabbed if I wanted that too.
  With My loving wife off to work I planned the haul. Gritting through the gnawing pain down my leg and a few pain pills later my obsidian pile had grown substantially.
  Rainbow,Mahogany,pumpkin,silver sheen, snowflake, gold sheen were the various types of obsidian. But then while dumping out a few of the crates I discovered some burns green, agate, petrified wood, Dacite, and several other rocks that I don't know. As well as a full crate of slabbed obsidian.
   Not quite sure how to explain the pile of rocks ;D but I'm sure she will require some for her rock garden.
  When I left there was still five 55 gal barrels full. I  called Juniper Junky and he said he had seen the add as well and was going to call me later to go get some ;D >:D I think He is probably still there loading. ::)

Notice how he planned to call me AFTER he got loaded up ??? I went over and went through the rest of the barrels and came home with three milk crates full, even after Keenans highgrading. :D most of the nodes were too small to get good flakes from, but there was a lot of usable stone. hope your back dont hurt too bad.

Hillbilly:
Man, what a haul!

Keenan:
  ;D ;D ;D I know how to get you to come over and play ;D

mullet:
    HOLEY MOLEY! To quote a famous funny guy. Keenan, you can send that blue basket to me. We gotta take care of that back, ya know. ;D You lucky dog. ;)
