Yeah I listened not long ago on the radio about influencers and reviewers.
They said its rife everywhere influencers saying crap is good for money and anti influencers saying good is crap being payed by opposing companies.
Internet is a minefield of liars, charlatans and get rich quickers who sell their own granma for money and 5 minutes of fame.
Rant over....😁

Good morning or evening depending on where you all are.👍

Can I use this on my podcast?



I kid, I kid

Good morning Folks. I hope you all have a good one. Beautiful today here in Ohio. Heck I may even play hooky for an hour and go to the creek.

Had some mist on the calm water this am.
26F so the water must be warmer 🤣

Yesterday I did another favor for the guys moving.
I knew from the space left in the moving truck, and what was in the yard-good luck.

So I picked up a lift of red oak lumber and a yard landscaping trailer.
For storage (maybe a purchase)
I helped load some things with the skid steer, to get use to driving one again.
Amazing I am still quite able to make things happen with one.

They were to deliver the skid steer in a few hours.
Got a call-we have a problem Houston.
Won't start!

I went back to have a look.

Click, click
New battery click, click.

Phone the rebuild, got a starter.
Ok 45 minutes later it's off.
20 mile cross country roadtrip.
New starter
Short chat, (he had 2 smokes and was on his 2nd water bottle of 2/3rds whiskey to 1/3 water drink.
Known him for 15 yrs, nothing has changed. 🤣
Good-ol'-boy.
So after a lot of searching for a dropped bolt, the starter was back on.
Hit the key-vroom!
Not what I really had planned for the day.
Playing grease monkey.
Eating dinner @ 9pm
Doing laundry for grease and ticks.

But I have my toy now.

Well if you're going to be that way about it... How about Freyday?

woooohooooo! I found my best spot yet. 40-50 bits per pan. I suck em up as I see them in the back of the pan so not much to see here. A few bits if you look.

Corse black sand, some big garnets and this shiny blue silver mineral? It’s sharp and very heavy….. idk. I’ll be headed back to work it soon.

I didn’t know garnet was in the black sand? I always heard gold was but we have garnet’s and flower gold.

I’m sure it’s a regional thing. Garnet is heavy just like the black sand and gold. If it’s in the stream it’s likely to hang out together.
