[AT] Chore day with the Super M

[charlie hill]

Cecil, the only stones like the ones on Mike's wagon that we see
here are trucked in with the exception of at some old river landings
where you can find ballast stones from ships back in colonial days.
For some reason no one bothers to get them out of the river.  I suppose
they came from England or Europe.   I forgot to mention them in my reply
to Steven.

We don't have any of them here either.  Biggest rock like that would be
2.5 in dia max and would be nearly round from the S. Canadian river sand
pits.   Everything else is either crushed limestone, or chert from SE OK....
