What is a Lapidarist? A Hot Chick that can Grind your Rocks. "Grind your rocks" ?? From my standpoint that sounds painful

Before tumbling after almost 2 days. grind marks slowly grinding off Its coming along nicely You had said something about 2-3 weeks being a long time. So I am expediting rapidly. Not good to keep a lady waiting. (talk about silver tonguing - I think I am getting sick to my own stomach lol) This rock is a medium hard agate. It was a bit stubborn to grind. Should take a very high polish. Best thing about it is there is little pits in it. Should be exceptional.

No smalls, just 1.5 to 2.5 inch flatish agates. 3/4 cup for 6 pounds, your bulk SiC, middle size like BB sized, half cup clay. Then I will run it at 30 RPM in a dose of your fine bulk(window screen sized) for 4 to 7 days. Then to vibe AO 220 and maybe polish. It pays to fine grind again if there are any deep grind marks at this point. 24 hours later. Deeper ground divots removed. Also some original impact half moons that nature made. bruises from mother nature bruises removed deep grind marks removed

There are active tumblers and passive tumblers. You, sir, are the former.

It is time to add more grits to its. Maybe I'll skip the Ritalin today and get er all done.

New entertainment would be accepted. I'm getting a little bored (JK) (blush2)

I may have a hard time hitting the(pee) bottle at this moment. Wow, what a buzz. Doc prescribes smallest dose of codeine for old age ailment. 3 times a day. Gov't now forces opiate users to take a drug test every 3 months, which is good/responsible. But $250 every 3 months is not good. So I bought 3 batches of seed from 3 different sources. Made tea out of the first batch nothing happened. This batch a way different story. I am beyond small. Did not trust that it would work, well it does.

James, I see you have learned not to mention my name anymore, when speaking of doing the work of 3 "anyones." Glad you finally got that through your head, lol.
I'm okay with you picking on Randy for a while, lol.
Speaking of waiting, you got those red "cathouse tokens" grinding yet? Ha ha.

Down the rabbit hole/go ask Alice time? No using heavy machinery while you are in that condition, please.
