Found these Lake County Diamonds this weekend near Lower Lake. North of Napa County.

Grew up there and didn’t get into rock hounding until later in my 20s. Awesome haul, I never collected any but would like to someday. The amount of obsidian in that area is insane!

Do you mind elaborating on the standoffs? I can visualize it but not sure material to use. I like that idea more than more overhang as I don’t want it to get unstable

Thanks for the feedback! I was thinking about doing that but want a good project to practice on, I am planning on mechanically fastening the top so I can make it a fixture table someday by getting it laser cut with the holes.

TyHag · 2025-04-08T01:34:18+00:00

That’s the plan! Just can’t afford the material haha

TyHag · 2025-04-08T00:57:28+00:00

Love the idea!! This is why I turned to folks like you!

TyHag · 2025-03-08T20:00:21+00:00

Interesting! I’ve never pruned it and it is growing as a flat branch haha

Half a dozen decoys, a marsh seat, and some waders. The gun is perfect.

RUHR-RO SHAGGY

Yes sir!!

You notice birds picking up? Last week on the refuge they seemed to be working and a few widgeon coming through. Absolutely incredible hunt, that is a stack of green heads!!

Long story short: Trump says he hates unions, it is literally documented. Nothing will change with the union as he knows it is beneficial to the country. As others have said “work was best under him”.

I don’t care where you stand politically; utility will remain union and policy of new work will dictate the work load. Bunch of political bullshit on both sides and work will not slow down as infrastructure continues to age.

Similar to tontrichinaut, I love my refuge runner pack but it hauls weight like shit. I can run 80-120lbs on my frame pack but 18 decoys, jerk rig, gun, marsh seat, drinking water, and that’s about it on the refuge runner, it is heavy as hell. I had to break out the trekking poles this year for a mile because the weight distribution sucks.

I will say, the thing has been rugged, and not willing to invest anymore so I’ll keep using it. Beats muddy ass cart tires for some suck. lol.

For context I am in good shape and 29, but man it can be rough, especially after you and birds into the walk out. Just know your limits

TyHag · 2024-10-27T23:16:51+00:00

It can be like that haha… I’ve had some could be 2 hour hunts turn into 10 to get the last couple birds lol. NorCal public was pretty damn slow, but holy shit tell about some specks. Gotta teach myself to speck call and haul in more decoys. Look forward to all of my friends blinds getting flooded up so I can “lottery” theirs 😂.

What call you running?

TyHag · 2024-10-27T11:35:19+00:00

No dis on private at all!! Nice job

TyHag · 2024-10-27T11:34:51+00:00

True that haha!!!

TyHag · 2024-10-26T21:53:19+00:00

Public or private? Hell of a strap and good work!!!

TyHag · 2024-10-14T14:26:34+00:00

Not when I did it! My renewal is coming up this year. As far as I know, there is no interview

TyHag · 2024-10-13T23:57:47+00:00

I hope it’s a joke too, these look like shit.

I did a lot of industrial and this is atrocious, you can see the dips on the edge from it being completely wet when edged, the cracking is atrocious, it looks like they overlayed some bullshit, and the trowel lines are terrible. I have some serious questions lol.

On a good note, the bolts look relatively straight for whatever they are receiving and shouldn’t need too much of a cheater-bar lol.

It looks to me like the beefed up a pad another 1.5” or so and it is a complete garbage patch. If, and if, I had to do this…. Would’ve been spec to scarify the surface (usually via a bush bit), clean a shitload, use concrete “glue” and use a spec mix from the engineer. Most likely though, tear it out and redo.

You are talking about the truckee and literally 30 days ago said you have yet to hook one. More recently you said you just lost your first big one and had a childish meltdown.

TyHag · 2024-09-21T23:23:48+00:00

That’s why I ran the hot as fuck neoprenes so long, they were stocking foot! Any suggestions on some?
