I enjoyed going to the Fossil and Gem show in Norcross today with Ashley. Always something cool to see.

I liked the charts on dinosaurs. Most of the fossils were about 65 million years old.

This is the thigh bone from a triceratops.

It was dug up in S. Dakota.
Never too many meteorites.

How about a vertebra?

My prize is a Kingfisher from Indonesia.

A car in the parking lot of the rock show had a number of stickers I found intriguing.

I had my car checked out yesterday.
![e](http://whirlwindmissions.smugmug.com/Missions/Azalea-121213/i-ZKvQh9r/0/M/IMG_3480-M.jpg)
They told me that the compression was really low and no telling how much longer the car would last. I was shocked by that because it’s actually been running really well. Then I talked to my other mechanic who deals with the engine and he said that the lower compression is pretty normal and don’t worry about it. I think I’ll side with the mechanic who thinks it’s going to be ok!
Picked up supplies.

Printed up the labels for the newsletter.

Tried to repair a kitchen drawer. Lowes didn’t have what I need.

The kids at the mission helped us with the newsletters. They like the labels.

Watched the Christmas special for Duck Dynasty. Hilarious.
Cold again tonight. Already down to 28.
Anyone else see what’s wrong with this sign?

Tiny pine cone. Although I don’t think it was a pine tree.
