Saw where you had the big rig tumbler out of the garage---is it gased up and ready to roll? I have a couple of loads we could run thu it--the railroad got the track done and delivered the first loads today had them drop it about a 1/2 mile from the house --figured the noise wouldn't be so bad that way. Also talked to the neighbor about loading the big rig figured you would want to put a few bigger ones in too so got these --@3' diameter--will they slide in the hopper or do we have to take off the side plate to load? anyway just wanted you to know I'm ready --OH!!--you are bringing the grit aren't you ?---sorry but i'm all out right now ---I'd say we could prob get by with four semi loads and one of polish See you saturday !!

Yeah I'm ready, the tumbler is fueled up and the oil is checked. The tumbler is only rated for 10 yards though, we have squeezed 11.5 yards on before.

The wife and I are going to drive down to meet Snowdog on Saturday, have some coffee and load up the big tumbler, and rev it up to 2,200 rpm. We might even drive it down the road after we load up the slab saw. Snowdog, have you ever heard of Kringles or a seven sisters? Well were bringing one of each to enjoy with ya.

Gosh, I just wonder how big the slab saw is... The tumbler: Are you sure all that stuff will fit in it? I bet you must have one heck of a gas budget! So, how many gallons to the mile does it get?

Edog--are those two agate, jade or something good to eat? If it's food then I've prob tasted it sometime --hehe figured if we get all that polished we could give a ton to anyone --all they would have to do is pay the shipping ---how's that sound ?---course we could use some donations for grit too
