Interesting that it shows a village/mission named TEOPARI - how close is this to the actual site? Thanks in advance,

Thanks, Guys. I didn't make it yesterday, but I'm here for a little while today. As Kanacki said a while ago, I'm busier than ever now that I have retired.

Have a good one! As for being 'busier than ever' ... yup, I can relate. I don't know how the heck I ever had time for a full-time job!

I think that I spend more of my time now days, scratching my head trying to remember how I did stuff that was just normal back when I was working...

.Bueanas dias mi amigo Homar. If the blast holes are large indicating black powder,or it.s equivalent yes, it is probably Spanish, They ran to the end of the vein very often. But remember they had the problem of ventilation . They used fires for ventilation look for sines of fires.LUCK! p's' they didn't go very deep, only to where they had ventilation problems

Don Jose, I have to admit that the first time that I read about this method of drawing fresh air by using fire [emoji91], Well I thought it was insane.

I believe that I saw it in De Re Metallica...
but I remember seeing a drawing of two men carrying a kettle, with fire in it, down into a shaft. And that is just a disassociated memory, and I don’t know when or how it came up.

In the end, I believe that they did do it.
And I can understand how it works.

this is "Actually" a birthday cake with a mountain theme which seemed appropriate for you.

I see Oro trying to look for the depository entrance.

[Three elderly brothers age 92, 94 and 96 live in a house together. One night the 96 year old draws a bath, puts his foot in and pauses. He yells down the stairs,… “Was I getting in or out of the bath?” The 94 year old yells back,… “I don’t know, I’ll come up and see.” He starts up the stairs and pauses, then he yells,… “Was I going up the stairs or coming down?” The 92 year old was sitting at the kitchen table having coffee listening to his brothers. He shakes his head and says,… “I sure hope I never get that forgetful.” He knocks on wood for good luck. He then yells,… * * * * * * * * * * * * * “I’ll come up and help both of you,… as soon as I see who’s at the door.”]
