Pronounced; DIG - EXEL - FEST

0730, meet me at the Falcon..


Mike puts the eye on James' Kerrville blade....Really outstanding but I goofed up, I didn't get a closeup as I thought it was in the front page past archives.
I cant find it. It's slightly pink in color and
L O N G. .


Some pre-screen tailgate teasers. . . From TJ's collection at Shoepeg just this past week.


The precise placement of a fresh load of dirt is a very critical and exacting task. Luckily for TJ,
Jamie, Kevin & Coby offered their help. . .


What could be so interesting as to keep Tehaucana, Colee & Flicker away from their screening ??


AHHHHhhh.. . a LANTRY. Mike pronounced it a G-9 then a few moments later a "G-8.5" When he then started to say " maybe " an "8" > > > I quick put it in the bank ! Side note :::: This is a true "insitu",
the nature of the soil was so fine in this area, when I flipped this section of dirt out across the screen, it ALL went through and just left this slightly tarnished treasure laying there !

PART #2 ( it takes me so long to put these pics up. . .I'm taking no chances on punching the wrong
button and wiping the whole slate clean.

"fests" are not all giggles N flint , SOMEBODY has got to get the hard work done. In this case Flicker
slices the Fajita meat very thin ( so the older people can chew it easier )



Te measures each slice of meat with a digging tool to be sure it meets COA standards.
In this space we all extend thanks to Flicker & Te for providing ALL the food, beverages and condiments that made it a wonderfull luch. Notice the weather
conditions, clear and warm. . .Thanks to you too WX man


When TJ was away checking a hydraulic line I snook in a flint hugger SCRAT pic


Nuff frivolity. . .back to work..


Good thing for this tasty little morcel that lunch is over and the BBQ coals doused. . .


This is Jamie showing a small Perd she just found. I just noticed what an amazing pic this really is. . .
Look at that SHADDOW Jamie is casting, man, this Gal is REALLY thin



continued in part 3

Part #3 ( last ) Whew

Jamie finds.


Those very long shaddows means its time for DESERT !
We all chipped in for the cost of the Badger's birthday cake. Unforunatly, after the high cost of FORTY beautiful and expensive CANDLES, there was not enough funding for a larger cake.
Everyones' day finds are around the cake.



Coby & Kevin, two "old pros" we dug with in '07 ( Jamie was already seat belted in the vehicle )



Here's our group getting ready to munch down their one bitesize piece of cake . . .. .
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BADGER



DAM We mistakenly thought the candles were made out of candy. . .



THE END

Whoops, , , , I missed it in the wee hours. To see the unusual Kerrville blade James is showing to Mike that I refer to in the second pic, , ,

Back to frt pg, top right, hit PICTURE OF THE WEEK ARCHIVES. All the way down, third row up from the bottom, left side red frame.
I was looking for a pic with a single blade rather than a whole frame full of beauties.
Even the original starting nodule must have been unique.

Good show Hal and that's a sweet Langtry!

It was a good dig even with meager finds, weather was perfect and we had a good bunch out there. It's a shame the mouse wasn't big even to feed everbody but we had plenty of torilla's to go around.

Good show Hal,...I'm glad that sweet little Langtry made your day!

great show Hal

I did have a picture of you at work Mike.
( on the right, not with the long hair !)


That was a short big city visit. . . did you have a chance to make a

?

That's a bunch of hard working guys and girls there Hal. Nothing but a flurry of dirt and clouds of ash while we're screening.

Yes Hal, had a big snowball fight in a parking lot, and got Christmas pictures for cards next season if it don't snow by Christmas. Leaving tomorrow to go back and work another week.

Where is TJ'S located?

It's northwest of Uvalde about 35 miles on Hwy 55
