Nice. So now the real fun starts?

Yes, we re-opened two units from 2005. We dug to about 2 feet deep x 5 feet wide x 10 feet long (total). We will get these to 4 feet deep tomorrow and re-open 4 more units to that depth. I think I will open about 7 more new units, we are on pace to dig more than anyone and it will be AWESOME. I am going after a house foundation/possible cellar room of the Underground Railroad.
Cool. I can't wait to hear about some findings. I wish Julie was around so I could come down and take a look.

We will be here through June.

We are in Michigan one of those weeks plus she's traveling a ton. She's in Ohio right now. Chicago next week and maybe Memphis the week after. Then Michigan for us then Max starts summer school and T Ball I think.

Josh, what does your wife do that has her traveling all over like this?

I received my late birthday gift today. A nice Panasonic Lumix 14 MP digital camera. This is the first camera I've ever owned.

George, I'm usually not envious of people who work outside but for this, I'd be willing to give up my office and dig a little bit. Sounds extremely interesting![/quote:1rp5gxlx]

Thanks, the students are pretty pumped about where we are digging, even though it is a bunch of work. I am not a fan of digging up someone's back fill dirt, but they are excited so I will be as well.

Along with digging up back fill dirt, is there a possibility of an, as of yet, undiscovered foundation or structure? Do you have a layout of the grounds with bulding locations or are you digging based on "historical hunches"? I've always been extremely interested in archeology/history so this is why I'm inundating you with questions, hope you don't mind.

We use Electric Resistivity, Magnetometry, and Ground Penetrating Radar to fit anomalies, when we dig we find a feature 80% of the time. There are plenty of house foundation that are unknown, the site is 42 acres and testing takes a while and will not be dont for years. We are digging this one due to the significance, it was found in 2005 but at the end of the field season.

Wow. :shock: Kind of makes me wish I had gone into archeology instead of financial management/analysis! What would happen if you were to dig up human remains? Along the lines of a private burial site for the staff or field workers.

George I'll be in Lasalle on June 14th if your still there I drive down later in the day LOL

Maybe the draft will be finished by then.

 

[Pine Tar]

wow I don't get it. I sold a card thinking it was something that it was not OPPPS Never mind the card. I toss in
an extra card chrome and one of my world famous Gift Certificates. Any way dude writes me and says Hey I did not get what I thought I was to get. I look and I said it was something it was not sorry so I ask how much he wants for a refund.
He says since both card (mind you I sent the second free)go for 1 a piece give me back 13 out of the 15 Dlvd. I cost me 2 to ship them to him.

So let me get this right you want 13 out of 15 and I paid 2 to ship out of that. So basically I gave you (2) 1 dollar cards
and it cost me 2 to ship and you get 13 bucks so I'm actaully out 2 bucks so this deal cost me 15 plus the cost of the free gift certificate I sent to you. and that cost a few bucks too.

So I asked for my cards back and said I refund 13 and you can keep the restaurant gift cert. and he says why should I pay to ship them back to you. I tell him he can put them in a bubble mailer and 2 stamps and send them back.

will see where this goes.

Richard, If he keeps the gift certificate, uses it and gets food poisoning, all will be right with the world.

Good evening.. Great game today..

When Ichiro threw that pitch to the catcher, I could see he was dead on.. I was sitting in right field straight down the line..

Amazing throw.. A few other plays that will probably be on ESPN, and the 8th inning was sweet!!!

Once they took out Bonderman, the Tigers pen got roughed up.. I thought I was at school today with all the little kids there on field trips with their classes.. Blowers' gave the Rally Fries to his son who was there with his class!! :lol:

Well, time to scan a few things..

Most schools get deals on some games since the kids are almost out of school and they could get a break on tickets
my daughters mid school did this a few years back for the whitesox


Josh Yes just make my picks from here on out. I don't card most of those cards are going to end up some place else
free to who ever gets them anyway.
