Really nice chippin,and I see you have 3 beautiful ladies in your life? same here.

Been running 98 for the past several days, I'm a self employed carpenter so I go to work early and try to quit at 3;30 Under the hose alot.

 I have a cool shop so I can knapp without much trouble. They are calling for this heat for several more days. It wouldn't be to bad ifin the humidity would just let up a bit.....I started carrying a matchete to cut the air where ever I walk. ;D

Thanks for sharing your pics.

Low 90's lately (cold front).  Mostly around 100 and windy.  Doesn't put a damper on the knappin' though.  I just keep a large pitcher of ice water within arm's reach.  And there's also the garden hose.  Oh yeah, and something to drink. ;D

 We've been the same as Bonepile, except, I'm the poor soul that lives inland. We've been setting records here. I don't mind the heat, just hate the clouds of mosquito's as soon as you try to sit down.

I'm between Puget Sound and the Pacific and it was 78 today, according to the WeatherBug.  Almost too warm, but I went out and knapped a couple points anyway; pics attached.   I submit that they looked a hell of a lot nicer in my hand than in the pictures.  I gotta get a new camera!  Thanks all of you guys for posting your points as it gives me something to shoot for.

Timo;  Thanks for posting the rock run thread.  That's just the info I need.  I'll be in Springdale, AR, in a couple weeks and I'll be heading up toward Joplin to look for that quarry.  Does the quarry have a name?  What highway is it off of?

Its been in the 90's here in southern Indiana, but a cold front is comming. It will be 87 with thunderstorms tomorrow. Yesterday me and a buddy was chippin' rocks on the front porch with a fan on us. Mommy doesn't like me chippin' in the house, I don't know why... ::) Something about diggin' shards out of the bottom of her foot , I think... 
Nice point Newbow, obsidian is like a woman, beautiful and could cut ya deep if you don't treat it with respect!  :D
