The eighth hatching is complete. It's crazy these birds keep coming back. It's pretty cool though.

Start a new project tomorrow, involves spending more hours 'out and about'; maybe be money in it too.  :bowler:

Cool!   :cool:

I did the first part of the German Alpine Society's "Basic Course Ice" in the last three days. We learned a lot of knots, safety procedures and also how to climb up a mountain with a fixed rope and an ice axe. I am now considering to do the second part in Chamonix next month where I would learn how to use crampons on a glacier.

That's quite impressive to learn and do that stuff. Congrats, and enjoy.   :)

So here's something mildly interesting.

There's a small mountain not far from here that is entirely composed of quartz. It's all crystally in various colors. One part of it is a pretty cool blue-green that I like a lot. It's only about ten miles of driving from town, but it's all off-road. My sister and my mom were meeting at my house today so I figured I'd go hide in the woods.

The weather was kinda crappy with a winter storm warning over 7000 feet, which was exactly where I was going.  :P

Crystal hilltop.





I met two men mining for crystals. They do sometimes find some very valuable ones. You can barely see them at the top of the pic. Those guys got there in a Saturn hatchback. Mad props for that.

It got really cold and started snowing, so I went home.

Nice pictures. :)
