Good morning list.Well 4 days are in the book and it's time to get ready to wrap up what will probably be my last show for a couple of years.It is raining here on this Sunday morn. Yesterday was another great day. It was sunny and 70 degree's! I met up with a few newbies I had not met with. Linton Rohr and Eric Fisler and his very nice family. Yesterday I bought 3 more new meteorites for the collection. I got another Sikhote-Alin from Mike Farmer. It is a super nice 200 gram piece. I even have a picture to prove I bought it. I got a 7 gram part slice of the new witness fall from Ecuador,DUALE that Mike Farmer found. And finally my biggest purchase of the show, a 32 gram full thick slice of Pena Blanca Springs aubrite I had been looking for a nice piece for years. We pretty much stayed around the inn suites all day till around 5 pm. We then went to dinner and on to the auction. There were about 80 auctions and some nice material but? nothing to blow your
 nose at. I got the 2 items I wanted. A 14 gram slice of Park Forest and a 9 gram part slice of Nwa 3161. The really interesting item of the show was how Count Diero toke over the auction for Mike Blood. He showed what it really means to be a " real " auctioneer. Way to go Count! The show ended about 9:50 pm. We said our good byes and went home for the night. For me this was probsbly my best show. I come home with 11 new meteorites and $600. I pretty much stood my my guns,OOOPPPS! Sorry,such a touchy subject these day!!!! :) I bought and traded for what I really wanted. And a BBBBIIIIIIGGGG thanks to Jim Strope. Tomorrow at home I'll have a wrap up from day 5 and start putting pics up on my website. It has really? been a pleasure to meet so many nice people this year at one of the best shows ever.Greeting from rainy tucson and have a great day.
