You know your addicted.......
« on: August 27, 2011, 07:38:28 pm »
Dont know if this has already been done but I have yet to come across it so here it is.  I was sitting at work pressure flakeing under the desk in between people walking in and out of the door when it occured to me that maybe I have become addicted to this.  Then I thought I cant be the only one so I turn to my PA friends with this.  Ill start the first one and lets see where it goes.

You know your addicted to flint knapping when...........
1. You secretly knap under your desk at work.
You skin that smoke wagon and we'll see what happens!---Are you gonna do something? Or just stand there and bleed?

When you are on vacation and looking at the rocks in the planter at the motel. Then grab a few while your wife isn't looking.
Everything happens for a reason, sometimes the reason is you made a bad decision.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Ya wake up early one morning. Pack the heavy canvas pack & small rock bar drive 1/2 ways across TX to a little known river crossing. Spend hours in 100 plus degree sun looking for a rock. After hours & a truck load of it ,we still hate to leave because you know there is at least one more primo material that has been overlooked. Oh and love every minute of it ! Man I can't wait to go again ! WAH HOOOO! ROCK RUN! We'll take my truck!

When you check this forum 4-5 times a day just to see if any new points have been posted.

When you throw you're wife out in the yard and make her retrieve you're rock that she put in her flower bed. I had to find somewhere else to eat supper for a few days after that little stunt.Ron
If we can't help each other what is the point of being here?
