Takes a long time to get the soap and sugar spots out off of them. 14 pounds in the vibe is a bunch of stones. I am pumped about starting those wind blown pet woods you collected from Orson Wells(what's the name of that place ?). And those little wind polished white alien eggs. I am going to leave them with the natural skin on them.

Ha! Ocotillo Wells. Need to get back out there and get you some more. What am I talking about, getting more? Probably have buckets of them here I already hauled home, lol.

Did Orson Wells live at Ocotillo Wells ? why do you guys have so many things named after 'wells' ? We have springs, and everything is named after springs. Deserts have little water, so I suppose they have wells. The Ocitillo location must have sand blasting winds because everything looks sand blasted. It even digs the agate out between the growth lines. Dry shells high on the beach do the same thing.

You do have to keep an eye on it more than the rotary. Still less headaches over time. I would prefer to have two smaller ones for versatility.
