If dogs were really our best friends, one of them hounds could have slipped one of them cubes into your coffee lol 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It couldnt be any less healthy than the ankle cancer a fellow will end up with after walking around with deet-soaked socks and cuffs for a decade. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Saul maybe you need to consider eating one of those cubes once a month....if you can find some that are kosher! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

On the plus side it doesn't get much better than ground to shovel to screen, so that makes things realistically worthwhile when flying solo in lower-paying material.. Swamp On 11/28/2018 at 9:23 PM, LipCa said: you're right Swampstomper..... I figure 400 buckets at $30/yd. (I feel a tick on my neck) You two mathematicians are not too great at word problems are you? If you re-read my post you will se that I did not say that 200 buckets would net me a half ounce. I said 200 buckets would "take care of my gold fever". Meaning I would probably be tuckered out half way there. FYI I ran about 350 buckets for the first half ounce and about the same for the second half ounce. So now you can multiply and divide that to your hearts content and advise me accordingly. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LipCa 357 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Sorry Bedrock, in the same sentence you said ". I hope I can get another half ounce before I collapse". I put that together with "a couple hundred buckets". I thought they went together.... my mistake. You are right on the money at $20 a yard...... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You are right on the money at $20 a yard...... Yeah, it is funny how those other words in between make so much difference. When you think you have discovered a big disconnect it always pays to go back and make sure you are picking up what others are laying down. Otherwise your numbers don't add up. It is like a guy throwing you an apple but catching a peach. And after biting into it realizing it is a piece of fried chicken. It is just weird bro. Now I am going to really break your heart. I did not keep an accurate bucket count and just threw out a number that I thought was about right. And the whole time I was digging I was smoking some incredibly strong yesca that my brother got from a guy with a patch over one eye. I really don't even remember how many days I was out. It is all just a smear of memories at this point. So it coulda been a couple hundred buckets but then it could have been five hundred too. I have 6 plastic buckets but two are those 4.7 gallon metric ones. And I might have only filled some buckets 2/3 full because I am serotonin deficient 30% of the time. But 70% of the time I am a little manic and fill those buckets with rounded tops that make them 9% larger. I cobble off 20% by hand before it even hits the screen and I get about 50% off the header so only about 30% of the total material actually gets processed. So taking into consideration these new revelations how much material actually went over the table given the best and worst case scenarios? How many ounces would I smoke given .5 g per joint and two yards between joints with a 5% re-use rate if I smoke the roaches? How much gold could I dig if I bought a pound of that stuff? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LipCa 357 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 As I recalculate from the new info provided, it looks like it could run from $5 per yard to $100 per yard.... 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now for the bonus question- How many tortillas does it take to shingle a schithouse flying over Lake Deming in a sandstorm? Assume a white corn tortilla and a steady 85 mph. breeze. 22 hours ago, LipCa said: As I recalculate from the new info provided, it looks like it could run from $5 per yard to $100 per yard.... The gravel makes me an average of $15 per yard after you deduct .5 g @ $10 per gram per yard for the weed. So $20 per yard is probably as close to reality as we are going to get. And that is way too close to reality for me. Especially this early over coffee. I cant wait to get back out there. After Christmas is over I am finally free for a few days again. It will take that long to pick all these huge ticks off me... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And can we charge spillage as both an over-purchase write-down and materials expense..? Thanx.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
