Hello all!

Well October into November brought a lot of activity.... I have been in Salt Lake City, Atlanta, Detriot, Dallas, Mesquite, Witchita, San Antonio, and Houston... I did get to swing the coil in SLC and Mesquite... OK Texas... what is what that soil... it remonded me of the old monkey sh1t that plumbers used to use... I was glad that it liked to stick to itself just a little more than to everything else... How do you cut a plug or hunt that stuff.... or was that just what they use as fill in parks ??? I tried a few parks and gave up there...

Oct 29th...

Nov 7th... back home and my 50th birthday...

I needed just a few coins (12) to hit 3,000 coins for the year and 6 wheaties to hit 400 wheats for the year... I was hoping to accomplish both of these and recover a little silver as well :-) Well... I did all 3 :-)

Oh yeah, that black Texas gumbo around Dallas is tough! When it's wet it's sticky as heck and when its dry it's hard as a rock! Congrat's on all your accomplishments though!
