Stop in for a drink.

We heard a big blast here on Friday that shook the house. I was wondering if they might have demolished a bridge nearby. We heard another blast this afternoon, bigger than the one on Friday. I was outside doing the tree work and felt the blast wave physically. It literally shook the ground.

Started doing a little digging and found that there is a granite quarry just a few miles across the valley in the direction the blast came from that I never knew was there. I guess they are ramping up production!

I used to tilt my loader bucket all the way down and set the cutting edge on the ground and take cover under the bucket when Alvin was setting off a shot. :lol:
