Time being my most precious commodity, it doesn't make sense hanging out here anymore..
For me this place lost it shine.
I got much milling to do and it's just getting hotter....
Anyways...
The end......

...Really not a lot to talk about with milling, it's just same old grind, with no bonanza find its pretty boring stuff.
I'm getting ready to pull the jaws and add new hard face..
Raised up the equipment, hooked up to solar .
Have to rebuild the amalgamator (new motor)
Finally cleaning up all those buckets that have cons left in them.. there's about 20 kicking around here..
Don't have any yellow to show it's couple months out, like I said no high grade just mill run cons...
Here comes the judge (sun) it gonna be hot n humid again, today maybe 105..

Another day of washing ore, getting those buckets emptied, trying to get everything clean before I start my final mill run.
Thinkin about takin my jaws to machine shop getting the hard face done by a pro.
They are really difficult to weld on and I'm not a welder, I had enough with chicken poop welds..
Murphys been really riding me hard, everytime I open the door on my truck something happens to shut me down.
I think I finally got the thing running right, maybe I can get some drywashin done before it gets wet again, get some placer gold, I get me a new bleeper.
I'm not doin much prospecting as it to hot to dangerous for me now (bad blood pump) the heat is to much comin back to my truck, I wait till fall, so it's time for the night diggings, topping off the bank of rock ( ore pile) And getting ready for my final mill run.
Anyways just another hot day at Claudette mill.....
See if I can get a gold pic today ....

Howdy Herb! For awhile there I thought you'd gone and got yourself washed
down a gully....it's great to see you back to chasing the AU.
I get what you're saying about the blood pump. I've got to go in next month and
they'll decide if there going to install a couple stints, or rip me right up the middle and
do some major plumbing work. Told 'em that couple stints is much preferred over replacing
pipes and valves!

Shot of a few sample pans off the table,
Got some pyrite, scheelite n gold.
gonna hang out here as long as my health holds up.
I have the crusty heart valve, worked at trying to improve it with life style change, but it didn't work out, so it has to be replaced.
Worrying if my insurance is gonna be there when it's time to geter done.
Till then I just keep at the milling and share what's probably going to be the last of my story from Claudette mill.
Maybe one of my guys will continue the quest..

Finally done with those middle tailing buckets, normally they just go back into the mill grind, price of gold I could gets another. 10 / 20 $ per bucket so we clean the midlins one more time.
Developed a loud tick in the table couldn't find anything loose, scratches my head. I'm like this will drive me nuts, hours of ticking, broke out the plumbing stick, the table was a 1/4 inch out of level. Seems one of those big rains was enough to cause my concrete base to sink into the ground, little shim on the low side back in business..
Kinda weird but fixed it....
My base probably weighs 800 lbs solid concrete..
truck is back up n runnin after 6 months of bull crap and $$$ I didn't need to spend, I've gotten it fixed..
Only thing I can figure is I was getting bad karma for trying to get something for nuttin..

Sorry keep rattling on about a truck but its the # 1 tool in my mining arsenal.
Without heavy duty four wheel drive I can't even get 5 miles into the district.
One would have to be an avid offroader to know the feeling I'm having..
totally jazzed....
Got the jaws out, looks like a few hours of grinding each to fix things for the weld.
Going to clean and repaint the old dude while its apart ....
Today we start running all those pudding rinse buckets, so the water gets a little dirty, this is where you trust your machine as you can't visually see the $$ line.
Anyways here comes the judge, gonna get hot today..
