First time out in about 3 years.....

[cantxsailor]

Haven't been out in about 3years due to a perceved lack of time. I gave my GTAx550 to a friend who never quite got the hang of the game and when I asked he gladly returned my MD. So I tried her out in the back yard for a refresher course in pulltabology. I found six pennies and a cool looking key blank and a few brass a/c fittings. I was getting happy with the gold being registered and a flash of gold in the hole right before I pulled up a brass mailbox letter "R". Oh well I still found some coins so the machine still works and I still have the basics down pat. My MIL may not like the fact I was digging in her lawn but then I can always tune her out. 48 years in the same house and all I can conjer up is six pennies. Not much trash though so I guess I can thank Minnie(MIL) for her gardening skills at least. Felt good to be back at it again. Maybe I'll go to the local park for a poke arond tomorrow........martin

I hope you still have a friend.

Hit the tot lots early and I bet you do well. The toddler's swings are a great place to start.
