juniper junkie:
one advantage was either from his hurt back or short arms, but the really good stuff was in the BOTTOM of the barrels ;D

cowboy:
Whoa! What a haul - you got any of that to spare? Haven't seen ya in awhile JJ, welcome back :).

  Thanks Cowboy, I have been really busy with a cabin we bought this summer. had to totally gut it out, raise up and replace the roof, new floors etc. but we are getting it all sealed up before winter hits, maybe I can get some projects I started before done. missed you guys too.

Hardawaypoints:
Dang, I'm not an obsidian lover, but with that much quality rock, I could learn to get real friendly with it. :-*

Even my typing is green with envy...

I hope your back gets to feeling better.  You would be in more trouble if you had to find & haul that rock where it comes from.  Having a good supply of free rock will help ease the pain for sure.

We expect to see plenty of pictures of pretty points in the future.

     Holey Moley!  As Eddie said.  Man!  That piece you are holding up, would make a nice display on your mantle as it is.  AND SLABBED STUFF TOO!!!!!  Here I am trying to thin down some of the stuff Eddie gave me, and you get a ton of beautiful stuff, and some of it slabbed!  And of course you live in Oregon!  I can't just take a two hour drive, like to Eddie's house.  I'd be over there with a trade blanket, hatchets, knives, beads, beer, money, etc.  You lucky dog you.  I hope you are doing better with your back.  I know the feeling.  I had my fourth, and fifth vertabra, with almost no disc in between.  I took a ride on my Chiropractors DRX9000, and it is considerably better.  I still have a few aches and pains, but nowhere like before.  I am glad I retired when I did, I couldn't play fireman much longer.  It was really getting to me.  Man that is a haul!  WhoooWheeee!  Maybe I better talk to your wife, and convince her that it just too unhealthy for you to be messing with all that rock.  She should have it packed up and send it to me, and I will pay freight, and send her a nice big box of Her favorite Chocolate!  C'mon play fair, let me talk to her! 
Man that was your lucky day!  It is just one of those things, that was meant to be.  The add appeared, the wife was away, You were the first to call......The lithic Gods were definitely smiling on you that day!  Slabs no less!  Oh, yeah, thanks.  Yeah, thanks, for showing that.  Show off!
Well now you have to haul it to the cabin.  If I were out there I would help you haul it.  For a nominal chunk, I mean fee.  I'd even load, and unload.  I hope you didn't mention anything about knapping to him.  He just might decide he could make a fortune on the internet!  Man o Man!  Yeah, I am a little worked up, but it is Eddie and Claude's fault, for getting me hooked on knapping!
But seriously thanks for sharing that.  I don't think I could've driven to Oregon to pick it up, even If I were the first to call.  Why can't someone like that live down here in fla.?!!  Have fun, and good luck with your back.  You know a real Indian would've had the wife unload it.   Nope I ain't married.  ;D ;D
