[Skiddum]

Nice set up for flow Skiddum. Here's what we rigged up last week.

 

[Sideways Sherry]

Great idea Skiddum!

SPD what is that crazy rig

 

[Skiddum]

right that's what k was wondering

 

[Goldwasher]

it a 4 inch pipe feeding a 2 inch pipe diverted into a flume then a sluice. It was the best way to set up flow for Dans drop riffle.

 

[Sample Pan Dan]

And it worked great!

And to go somewhere in CO tomorrow: Sunday 3/29 COlorado tnet folks can come see my little red prospector-mobile and join a group of us digging in Clear Creek Canyon up highway 6 west of Golden. Just look for my little red car and my buddy's big white pickup sitting on the side of the road and come join us! Dredges are welcome up to 4" with no paperwork needed although I'm bringing a couple Bazookas of course!

 

[Sideways Sherry]

Awesome Kevin!

So, where are the promised stories? You hook me on following your thread with promises of such and nothing recently!

I found our discovery of one degree separation very interesting but I doubt the rest of your readers felt it met the criteria for gold stories they were waiting for.

Hey, just pulling your chain. I would guess you have been overwhelmed lately. Hope all is well and you are getting a chance to get out and get some gold.

 

[Sideways Sherry]

Yes, I owe you guys many many stories...

So, my post of the recent event is on the 2015 Motherlode Miners Bash thread...

Thanks for the redirect, Sherry. It has been a very busy week and I had not yet looked at it. Looks like you guys had a wonderful time. Would have loved to have been there. I see why you have had no time to write.

Yeh Miss Sherry. I have been to Wilson creek...twice since your "incident at Wilson creek"
I have friends that try to surf there. I asked peeps....anything sideways happen here?
Nope. Nothin' in the local papers....No...OMG...didja hear?

 

[Sideways Sherry]

Ok, this is and will be, at least in my opinion, the most hilarious story you guys will hear this year.

This is the background leading up to today's events... So my SUV was rear ended, the collision center did the repairs and when I took it home and looked it over in detail (having advanced knowledge of automobiles for a female), I found that there were some parts replaced with bad workmanship, some damage parts reinstalled and some parts not reinstalled at all, not to mention that the windows were left down for over 2 months and they returned my car with the interior dirty and the leather seats soiled. Well those of you that know me well can imagine the events that unfolded when I returned with the 3 pages of issues outlined in detail. Well the conversation started out with, "I want to speak to whom ever is in charge of quality control releasing the vehicles as complete!"

Now, where I come from in Alabama, we wouldn't start out today's portion of the story with "True story cuz," nope, it deserves a full-on...

Y'ALL AINT GONNA BELIEVE THIS ****! So I dropped the SUV off at the collision center today to have the repairs completed, obviously they gave me a complementary rental car. So, I drove it home for the afternoon and then headed back to the dealer located across the street from the collision center to meet my husband with our other car to drop it off to have some service work done at 7 am. Well I arrived first and parked the rental car in a space on the street between the collision center and the dealer. In the meantime, I decided to go use the restroom inside the dealer. So I stood up turned to flush and began to pull up my jeans and in slow motion I saw the rental car keys jump clean out of my jeans pocket and do a "Triple Lundy" INTO THE TOILET while the violent force of the flush effortlessly shot the keys from my existence into the abyss! At that moment my face went blank from expression as I starred into the toilet [emoji52] and thought to myself "This is the most awesomely epic thing that has ever happened to me!" Then I walked outside to meet my husband who had arrived and was talking to the service advisor. So as I walked up, I busted out laughing [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38], slapped my knee and began with, "Y'ALL AINT GONNA BELIEVE THIS ****!..."

(And $250 later came the replacement of the key and remote... [emoji43][emoji43][emoji43])

LMAO excellent story! I have one of my own.....

As a GROWN ASS MAN i had thrown a stick from a finished Popsicle into the toilet before using the restroom. As im "going" i notice the stick begin to move in circles. Naturally as a (at the time) 24 year old man, i lean my body heavily to the side to get more angle to make it spin faster. My knee gave out and i knocked myself clean out when i hit my chin on the bathroom sink. My wife came in as im laying in the floor unconscious with all of my glory out... she still doesn't believe that as a grown up i was just having fun...

 

[Sideways Sherry]

LOL!!!

 

[goldog]

Sherry, I heard you've got to make 1 1/2 trips back to gold country in order to make up for it.
