Lol...I know...I was just taking a deep look into the future.
I burn all the time....we just have to keep an eye on spreading a fire. A few weeks back I but my dad's 47 acre land per his requirement for a government program his property is in to help clean up Michigan waterways. We had fire tornadoes going on the controlled burn. It went smooth.

Someday is today in California. There are not too many authorized burn days during the year, and when there are they are all during the winter, usually after a rain. And even then you will need a burn permit if you want to light something up.

Another day of work is over and had a nice swim at the pool. Really helps with the back pain being able to take some of the pressure off. Now its time for a couple cold beers and make dinner. Wife wants Salisbury steaks with steamed broccoli and potatoes so I will oblige like a good husband. My 96 year old father in-law that we are are caring for has never eaten so well.

Yep,, Gold
I watch the president of the club slip his find, which was a Silver Cat Brooch into the artifact tray because it would not win against a gold ring. Isn't a brooch a piece of jewelry? His silver cat won against an "Illinois Central Baggage Claim" and a "Caterpillar Watch Fob"
If you win the category, you get a Mercury Dime.
Why would anyone throw away their "Honor" just to win a Silver Dime?

One more day of work and then 4 days off. Unfortunately it’s forecasted to be 104 degrees tomorrow and I work outdoors...wearing 30 pounds of stuff. I am predicting periodic showers of sweat.

There have been a few incidences where the President ignored the proper procedure and caused the vote to go in a certain direction. He allowed a non eligible coin to be entered as a monthly find and it won. There was also a little manipulation where a Common Barber Quarter beat out a Gold Ring?
I'm thinking of leaving the club. I have been enjoying this hobby for too long to get involved in dishonesty or politics.

That's to bad. One bad apple can ruin the whole pie sometimes. Tough call.
