Hey Buddy, Just wondering how you were doing and hoping the new job is working out for you. Drop me a line when you get a chance. We both have to get our ducks line up with work and financial security, but my long term goal is still on a creek bank. I will turn 63 this Saturday, so in 2015 I will be able to draw full SS and make all I want on the side. At that time, I will start prospecting most of the time, if not full time. If our health hold out and Good Lord willing, we will still find a Winter and Summer claim to work, as we wish.
