When The Stacks Don't Fall I Don't Have Rocks To Stack

Today the weather was agreeable, but the stacks were mostly still up. I did repair tabletop roundies, which had been taken down last night by the big one next to it. I suspect foul play, as the one next to it was pretty danged stable. As it turned out, I just fixed tabletop (which I have grown to love) and then went in search of rocks. I found a construction site that I plan to scour daily for a while. It was a giant mudpit today from the heavy rain storm last night (which means the stacks survived even that heavy a rain), so I couldn't go after a lot that I saw. I did retreive three beauties, though. One of them was a backbreaker that crushed my pinky as I loaded it (finally) into the trunk. I'll be getting some great stuff in the future as the ground dries and I can go into the clearings further.
I was pulling out of the driveway today when I noticed the neighbor had stacked four nice (little) pieces of quartz near his driveway. I may have a chance to coax him into giving me a tiny hunk of lawn (a three to four foot circle would be plenty) for a good stack. He'll get a free maintenence plan since he's across the street. I've already planned it out. I'll let you know, of course, how it pans out.

Go, Buddy, go!

Make things you stack on other folks' property is as flat earth and safe as possbile. Do not do one for anyone who has kids. Kids are kids, no matter how well they grasp the concept of gravity.
