TWO SIGNS LEFT TO I.D. MINE, AS SPANISH, FRENCH, OR JESUIT.

[PROSPECTORMIKEL]

I THINK THAT I HAVE FIGURED OUT A WAY TO SAFELY FINISH THE MINE SITE AND FINISH THE BOOK. THERE ARE MANY THINGS THAT MUST BE DONE AND IT MAY TAKE ALL SUMMER TO WORK OUT THE DETAILS, BUT THERE IS NEW HOPE.

I STILL HAVE A FEW CHAPTERS TO FINISH EDITING, AND IF ALL GOES WELL, THERE WILL BE PART OF THE LAST CHAPTER THAT WILL NEED REWRITING. THAT LAST PART IS GOOD NEWS.

THERE WILL BE A FEW BIG ANNOUNCEMENTS IF ALL GOES WELL. MY GOAL IS TO FINISH, THIS YEAR. I HOPE THAT I MAKE IT.

HOWDY MIKEL,

THANKS FOR POINTING ME TO YOUR THREAD, I HAD BEEN MISSING A GOOD STORY AS IT UNFOLDED. I HAD JUST BEEN GETTING TEASED WITH YOUR STORY AT MY COMPADRES THREAD. GLAD TO FINALLY SEE THE JESSIE I HAD BEEN PRAYING FOR.

I AM ALSO GLAD THAT YOU ARE GETTING READY TO CLOSE THIS STORY, AND CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE BOOK. GOOD TO KNOW OF ALL YOUR GOOD INTENTIONS WITH THE FINDS. GOOD LUCK AMIGO HOPE EVERYTHING GOES SMOOTHLY.

I MUST ADMIT THOUGH THAT I DID KIND OF SPEED READ THROUGH IT, CONCENTRATING MOSTLY ON YOUR POSTS ONLY. MEANT NO DISRESPECT FOR ANYONE ELSE'S POSTS WHO PROVIDED YOU WITH SOME GOOD IDEAS, OR WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT. KUDOS TO ALL, AND THANK GOD FOR TREASURENET WHERE TREASURE HUNTERS CAN GET TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER TO SHARE THEIR PASSION.

SU AMIGO,
HOMAR P. OLIVAREZ

HOMAR,

YOU AND CROSSE, AND RELEVENT CHAIR, AND SEVERAL OTHERS HAVE GIVEN ME MORE ENCOURAGEMENT AND HAPPINESS, BY TAKING THE TIME TO READ SO MANY POSTS AND SHOW ME BY YOUR "LIKES".

THOSE LITTLE THINGS ARE LIKE SAYING, "SIC'EM!" TO A DOG.

I WILL REVEAL MY PLAN AS SOON AS I CAN GET THE WRINKLES KNOCKED OUT.

I HAVE BEEN TALKING TO A FEW MORE TEXANS, LATELY, THAN I HAVE IN A WHILE. I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN I TYPE THE WORD, GET, I SPELL IT WITH "I" RATHER THAN "E". MY OLD TEXAS BLOOD IS COMING TO THE SURFACE.

YOU CAN TAKE THE BOY OUT OF TEXAS,
YOU CAN'T TAKE TEXAS OUT OF THE BOY.

SU AMIGO, AS WELL.

MIKEL,

FOR ME, IT'S THE SO. CAL., 'WEST COAST',

MUSIC AND THINKING INFLUENCES, THAT I

CANNOT, OR DON'T REALLY SEEM TO WANT

TO TOTALLY SHAKE OFF... THO' I SUPPOSE,

THERE ARE SOME THINGS I HAVE CHANGED...

GOOD LUCK BROTHER, MAY THE SPIRIT OF

COMFORT AND PEACE KEEP YOU SAFE,
AT EASE, AND FULLY AWARE...

LAST NIGHT I FINISHED EDITING THE LAST OF 18 CHAPTERS AND STARTED TYPING CHAPTER 19. WORKING ON COPYRIGHT REGISTRATION I KNOW THAT IT IS NOT NEEDED IN USA, BUT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE REST OF THE WORLD.

THIS HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST EVENT IN MY LIFE, OTHER THAN BEING BORN, BEING BORN AGAIN, FINDING MY SOUL MATE AND MARRYING HER, HAVING AND RAISING CHILDREN AND HAVING GRANDCHILDREN IN MY LIFE.

THERE IS STILL MUCH TO DO, AND DEPENDING UPON HOW THE NEXT APPROACH GOES, MY HOPE IS TO HAVE IT PUBLISHED BEFORE THE YEAR'S END.

I'VE GOTTA SAY, TYPING THAT LAST SENTENCE, KINDA KNOTTED MY GUT A LITTLE BIT. I HOPE THAT I DO NOT DISAPPOINT ANYONE. I STILL NEED TO FIND THE RIGHT PUBLISHER. NOW I HAVE ENOUGH TO SHOW ONE WHEN I DO FIND ONE.

I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN ABOUT ALL OF YOU THAT HAVE HELPED ME WITH INFORMATION AND THEORIES, EVEN THE ONES THAT DIDN'T QUITE FIT. THEY LED ME AROUND TO SEE MANY NEW THINGS THAT I WOULD HAVE MISSED. THERE ARE DOZENS OF NAMES AND MULTIPLE POSTS AND PMs THAT I MUST REREAD AND MANY THAT I NEED TO CONTACT TO SEE IF YOU WANT YOUR NAME OR YOUR HANDLE MENTIONED IN PRINT. I DON'T WANT TO SLIP AND GIVE AWAY ANYONE'S SECRET PLACES NOR THEIR IDENTIFICATION BY PUBLISHING WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION.

SO WATCH FOR PMs OR EMAIL AND LET ME KNOW. I WILL NEED THEM, SOON I HOPE.
EVEN BETTER, IF YOU ARE READING THIS, POST THE NAME THAT YOU WOULD LIKE USED, RIGHT HERE. THAT ALONE MIGHT KNOCK A MONTH OF PERSONAL RESEARCH, BEFORE I START THE FINAL CHAPTER.

THANKS FOR THE HELP. I COULDN'T HAVE DONE THIS WITHOUT YOU.

GOD BLESS.

CONGRATULATIONS MIKEL, I WILL KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR IT.

I HOPE I GET TO SEE A CLOSE TO ALL MY FINDS SOMEDAY.

[DiggerGal]

Can't wait to see your book!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! So happy to read that your Discovery is nearing the finish line. Be safe and alert my friend, know that we are all with you on your journey and support your efforts and strength!

 

[PROSPECTORMIKEL]

THANKS DIGGERGAL AND SHORTFINGER, FOR THE BEST WISHES.

HOMAR, THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR GOOD WORDS, AMIGO. I ALSO WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOUR PROJECTS COME TO FRUITION. THEY MAKE MINE LOOK PRETTY SMALL. I HOPE YOU CAN WRITE ABOUT THEM AS WELL.

MIKEL

P.S. WHILE I AM THINKING ABOUT IT, I WILL BE ON LIMITED ACCESS POSTING FOR A FEW MONTHS. WILL BE USING MY PHONE FOR A WHILE, UNTIL I CAN CHANGE INTERNET COMPANIES.

THERE IS NO TELLING WHAT THAT CRAZY THING WILL AUTO-CORRECT TO SAY!!

MIKEL,

GREAT BIG CONGRATS FROM ALL OF US AT THE TREASURE SPIRITS CAMP!,
YOU ROCK OUR BROTHER! WE'LL GET ONE, AND THE BEST TO YOU, THE MRS.,
AND ALL OF YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS, AMIGO... PEACE...

[PROSPECTORMIKEL]

WELL I FINALLY FOUND MY WAY HOME ON MY SMART PHONE. GOTTA STAY CAUGHT UP.

 

[Crosse De Sign]

MIKEL,

GLAD YER ENJOYIN' THE NICE NEW TOY?

HOW ARE YA', AND WHAT'S UP OUR GOOD FRIEND...
...

[PROSPECTORMIKEL]

I'm still learning. The autocorrect is running me nuts.
I used to wonder why folks were on these things so much... they were trying to learn how to operate them.

 

[PROSPECTORMIKEL]

I'M ON MY OLD KEYBOARD.. IT IS TEMPORARY, BUT IT FEELS GOOD TO CLICK THE KEYS FOR A WHILE...

DON'T GET ME WRONG. I AM GRATEFUL THAT I CAN STAY IN TOUCH, BUT HERE , I CAN REREAD MY POSTS AND CORRECT MYSELF. THAT PHONE IS TRICKY. IT LOOKS LIKE I HAVE IT CORRECT, AND WHEN I POST IT. IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE WHAT I TYPED...

I AM SHUTTING MY INTERNET OFF SOME TIME TUESDAY. THE CONTRACT IS OVER AND I STILL HAVE TO MAKE ONE MORE PAYMENT, BEFORE THE BUDGET WILL ALLOW GETTING A NEW PROVIDER. ( VERIZON, "MIFI" LIMITS THE USAGE TO TEN GIGS. SOUNDS LIKE A LOT 'TILL YOU GO OVER IT. THEN IT IS FIFTEEN BUCKS PER GIG.)

FOR LESS $$$ WE WILL GET AS MUCH AS WE NEED, ELSEWHERE.

WHEN I NEED TO POST SOMETHING IMPORTANT HERE, I WILL USE MY DAUGHTER'S INTERNET, UNTIL I AM BACK FULL SPEED.

IT IS GREAT TO BE HERE ON T-NET. I WILL PROBABLY BE HOOKED UNTIL THE DAY I DIE.... OR GO SENILE ...

TIL THEN...

CROSSE.

I DON'T KNOW HOW I LEFT YOUR NAME OFF OF THE LIST OF FOLKS THAT HAVE SPURRED ME ALONG.
MY MISTAKE... JUST A SLIP UP. YOU STARTED THE RUN THRU MY THREAD THAT OTHERS FOLLOWED.
LIKE I SAID... IT'S LIKE SAYING SIC-EM TO A DOG.

THANKS BROTHER.

FATHERS DAY IS ALL BUT DONE.
MY DAUGHTERS AND TWO GRANDCHILDREN AND MY LOVING WIFE WERE HERE TO CELEBRATE THE DAY WITH ME.
I WISH THAT I HAD THE WORDS TO LET THEM KNOW HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO ME.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL.
