I checked the surf cam this morning that's just down the street. This ol boy was already going after it at 7:15.

I've been noticing a rather disheartening trend (for us treasure seekers) of the cheapening of the wedding band.
I'm always noticing the jewelry people wear, since getting into this hobby, and see more and more silicone, stainless and tungsten wedding bands.
It's very sad to me, not because it will certainly mean less treasure to be found, but because I think it really says something about the value people now put on their relationships.
I'm sure most, if not all, of you older ladies and gents can feel what I'm feeling to some degree.

Sorry if I brought anybody down with this. It's gray and raining here today and must be affecting my mood a tad.
The Mrs stated one time early on in our relationship she liked this style of ring.
Well when she popped the question (yes she did) 11 yrs after I had queried her.
So I remembered what she liked, remembered that I saw an estate ring.
Now it took a lot of digging up to get the ring.
But when we got hitched in Sedona AZ.
The Minister asked for the rings, I did a switch from what she thought was going on the finger.
The Minister looked and smiled "Well he's a keeper"

I don't know that it means less value on the relationship, I think it is more likely to mean there's less money to buy the jewelry. Back when I bought my wife's wedding ring, it was around $600. That same ring today would probably be at least $2K. If I was a young person, that $2K would be mighty hard to scrape up. (But to be fair, so was the $600 back in the day.)
Well, the SS and tungsten ones I kinda get (and I get a lot of them!), as they're inexpensive, durable and retain their shine well. But, the silicone ones to me just represent how disposable the whole thing has become.
Just my opinion, of course.

Good morning
Another atmospheric river coming through today and tomorrow☔️
Well it's not that you had a few years of dry and making it a brown world.
Maybe it will restore some much needed reserves for watering.
You know those golf courses are important.

Then.....? Until death us do part.

Now?.......Until death us do part.....or....one of us gets bored. Whichever comes first.

And....the line " let no one put asunder what God has joined here today." ?

My take? I do not believe in man's perceived ability to do just that.

Just IMLLTHO....of course. 🤷‍♂️

Went out for a couple of hours.
Tried the back field of the one permission, a .22cal lead.
Drove to the blacksmith site on the otherside of the highway.
1.5hrs Tomback button, buckle, 1917 dime, 1943 penny, 5 bells.
Not too shabby.

Good morning everyone. We are planning to go outside and just sit and watch the sunrise this morning (our own little Easter sunrise service, so to speak), so naturally... it's cloudy. Next week is the big eclipse. I'm actually thinking it would be kinda funny if it was cloudy that day, because they're making such a big deal out of it.
