I recently moved to Florida and I am paleontologicaly (I know I didn't spell that right or if it's even a word) frustrated. I bought a special screen rake to hunt for sharks teeth on the beach. Before I had a chance to use it, we went on lockdown. I haven't done much in the way of fossil collecting or prepping the last few years and was looking forward to getting set up in my new garage and going over boxes of new fossils to ID and prepare. The problem is that all my fossils and equipment is in a storage unit just a few miles from the house and my wife won't let me get them. We are on lockdown and the matter how much I beg and plead she will not let me leave the house. So I just thought I'd vent to my fossil buddies on the forum. There, I feel better already. Here's a thought. 20 years from now the country will be run by kids homeschooled by daytime drinkers. Lord help us. Tom

With a little experience behind us, most collectors soon realize that we can’t display everything, and finds languish in boxes unseen for sometimes decades. Always mindful of economy of display space, I embarked on a mission to Target and executed a surgical strike on the Housewares Dept, egressing with 3 hollow glass lamps under arm. I like Pleistocene horse teeth, so the biggest lamp is loaded with nothing but them, showcasing the full color spectrum generally encountered in Texas terrace deposits around the state.

For about 8 or 9 years now Ive always posted this trailer picture for Xmas. But really, it was just a house for the kids for about 4 years. Here are some pictrues of our little house that was just over 900 square feet but is now almost 1800 square feet. Took me about 6 years to get this all done. We have a property where the beetle kill did kill many many trees and I lost sleep over it, but realized that I had one heck of a lot wood just sittin there. So,,,,, now a lot of those trees are now a part of this house and also turned into a few years of fire wood. I really hate to let things go to waste!!! We did lots of logging just to get things started and then I really went to town buildiing!!! Tons more pictures with two more additions, but just too much to post. RB

A few years ago my wife bought some commercial made croutons for out salads. I looked at the price and the weight. It came out to just under 22 bucks a pound!!! I was flabergasted!!! So, I make my own now. I take a bunch of butter, add in some fresh garlic and some onion powder and a bit of lawrys season salt. brush that onto some slices of sour dou bread and stack them, then cut into squares, then bake at 350 in the oven for 25 minutes or so. Here is a picture of some homemade croutons fresh out of the oven. About $30 worth for the cost of about 3 dollars. yeah, and having some salad tonight with home grown salad from the garden. life is good. RB
