My attempt to make it to my 10 acres in Terlingua Ranch and make a go of living on it. From the start it hasn't gone good at all, but I'm hopeful things will turn around!

Meteor fragments
Found a few more meteor fragments this morning. I didn't know what they were before Leon and Brandon told me. I'd picked up some of the fragments before, but not knowing what the were and other than noticing they were way heavy for the size I just tossed them. I won't do that again. So far the largest I've found is about the size of a peach pit.
MsB, my arm is still hurting a good bit and my hand was so swollen last night I had to take the cast off for a while. I put it back on later, but didn't make it as tight as the doc did. My hand seems to have gone down some now and feels better. They only gave me a prescription for about 4 days of pain pills so needless to say I haven't had any for a long time.
Found a hunk of meteorite on my place NE of you the size of my hand, first thought it was a hunk of dog shit till I gave it a kick and found out otherwise!! Neatest thing I've ever found I think! Looks like the wife and I will be there permanent like come end of June, gonna be hot moving! Anyway once I'm there we'll have to hook up and when you need a "hand" ha ha I'll be available. Gonna have a backhoe with me so when you add that bathroom you can have it flush somewhere besides through the floor :)
OH BTW congrats on getting to move here full time. It will for sure be hot then. I'm still searching for the meteor fragments in hopes of finding a big chunk.
Neat finding those fragments. Much easier to find in the desert than the piney woods of east TX where I live. Always wanted to find some. Congrats. Hope your arm gets better fast.

Now your other arm is going to fall off.
ReplyDeleteBkid, at this point in time I'm not sure that hasn't already happened. That and all three legs to.
ReplyDeleteTffn from your comment to BWkid I take it you are still not feeling well?
ReplyDeleteHow is the swelling? Did they give you medication to numb the pain? I hope you get to feeling better real soon.
Take care.

ReplyDeleteLance, Virgil Clark came by today and it looks like I have a septic system on the way. Then all I'll have to worry about is water to make it all work.
ReplyDeleteOH BTW congrats on getting to move here full time. It will for sure be hot then. I'm still searching for the meteor fragments in hopes of finding a big chunk.
ReplyDeleteI told you Virgil would come knocking. He's alright, he's just doing his job.
ReplyDeleteI called him Bkid. Wanted the septic.
ReplyDeleteNeat finding those fragments. Much easier to find in the desert than the piney woods of east TX where I live. Always wanted to find some. Congrats. Hope your arm gets better fast.
ReplyDeleteDD next time you're down this way do some searching. I think they're pretty widespread.
ReplyDeleteHello Campers,
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you bring some of those into my shop and let me have a look. Maybe we can get an episode of Meteorite Hunters done out here.
