brethren, i am so 'satisfied' of progressions over the past few years.  minimal dilution, adding a site in which we are now drilling, instead of 'diluting shares to bankruptcy' properties we ended up losing.  all praise to JB for the science and genius, BG for stopping dilution, and actually adding property adj. to hay mt. and (copyrighted) 'keeping the lights on', and PO, for putting the final money into the dig.... been 10-12 years for me.

reminds me of going to casinos a couple of times as a kid... dad took the family to atlantic city one time... was 10.... boring... then high school, went to vegas, where my dad's best friend from childhood retired, went to Sam's Town, and mom put 10 bucks into a slot machine for me, knowing i couldn't do it myself... won 40, first roll... yelled from the sideline... cash out!... went to the elevator and she gave me the money, and cop guy saw it all, and kicked me out.... 

now i'm at the craps table with a just under 1% outstanding bankroll, having gone large at .04, .05, .053, .056, then at .095-.135 (after announcing drilling).  totally of age and willing to finally believe that i did it all for a reason.  now, its just if we are part of Ocean's 13 gambling scene at the end.  craps table...  I think we are solid! with our Passline (Come bets/better) with 5-10x odds, but maybe we've fixed it like clooney and pitt, to bet snake eyes or box cars, with the flick of a lighter, and we take the house.   

I am sincerely happy for all those have stuck with it, i am finally happy to be at the table throwing the dice.  give these guys all the time they need to drill as many holes as they can afford... this is certainly not the time to be impatient... final leg of the relay race..

go (f'in) team!
