Rick Oh I for got to mention if one of us dug a rare bottle worth big $$$$  we will sell & split.    (if) lol < Message edited by RICKJJ59W -- 6/19/2007 6:07:31 AM > _____________________________ My Web Page.Lots of pix.

Everything she digs is hers and everything I dig is hers too. What I dig up is mine and if someone wants it we can trade but to the tune of a George Thorogood great, "I dig alone".  My friends and I do ok and all funnin aside, If it aint one I am looking for I am likely to give it to a digger who wants it and my friends are pretty much the same. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to RICKJJ59W) Post #: 34

Took mine fishing over the weekend once, first night came one of the worst storms with lightning I had seen in years. Of course I had no idea there was a storm at all till she woke me up saying she wanted to go home. I have to admit, it was a bad storm. By the time we got out of the camper and into the car, we were both soaked to the bone. Ten minute drive to the house from the lake, of course it quit raining even before we got home. She does not like my bottles, and I do not have to worry about her ever going fishing with me again........   She was with me once when I ran into one of those cobalt Casper's Whiskeys I bought. I gave two hundred bucks for it, and she felt that the price I gave for it was totally ridiculous. Then of course, I had to remind her that I had always thought it was quite ridiculous to give a couple hundred bucks for a blasted piece of pottery as well, pretty much ended that subject. She is truly a great Lady, I would not trade her for a million bottles. And besides, anyone who can put up with me for 39 years can't be all that bad........ And as for the picture below, that is only about the half of it... http://www.freewebs.com/yesterdaystreasures/ Attachment (1) < Message edited by L C -- 6/19/2007 10:45:47 PM > (in reply to RICKJJ59W) Post #: 40
