Wow Jordi! How do you handle all the fame! :-)

I'm just thinking about this. I doubt what could be better, or retire to a monastery or kill Vic with my own hands. The second is what I reallly want to do but I'm afraid he could be a hard nut to crack ;-) ;-)


Please Jordi, don't - we need you!

Jordi continues.

As Jordi wanders the back country hoping for a profitable find, he comes upon an outlaw prospect. Not one to let good specimens go to the crusher, he goes to work.

Having run out of cigars and tonic, Jordi resorts to bread and water to continue the deal. It seems to be working.

 Description:
Feeling lucky to have cheated, no, I should say, bartered fairly with the miners for the lot, he is left with the task of shipping his carefully packed find back to Barcelona.

It is a chore keeping up with him, Don. It's a good thing he leaves a trail of gravel to follow, like Hansel and Gretel.

OK Vic, I give up. Too good to disturb you during the creation of your fable (not fabre ;-)

Even though Mr. Fabre will not be attending the 2017 Tucson Mineral Show as a dealer, we see him here loading his asses with bags of cash in order to enhance his inventory at the show. We look forward to his arrival.

Cash counted and cinched tight, Mr. Fabre begins the drive to Tucson, hoping to leave some of this burden there. Safe travels are wished for him and his team.
