Just wanted to say howdy, been away for a long while, just now getting my life back and thought I'd check in and see what was going on. Hope all of you are doing well.
Been away so long, and haven't touched my stones in so long, I've forgotten a lot of the things I wanted to do. One thing is I'm looking for a fast tumbler of some type, but don't remember the one's y'all suggested to me, what, a year ago or so. Also that flat style for polishing large flat stones? Yes, I've grown ignorant over the past 6 months or so...hahaha
Anyway, in the market for some 'stuff', if anyone has good stuff for sale. I have my saw now, getting ready to build a mobile work station for it. I need to buy new polishing plates for my grinder thingy, etc. Ho hum, guess I should go back through my posts and read up, been away from this hobby so long....

By the way, I missed you all! Miss all the friends here, all the fun conversations. Life went into the toilet for a while, but I'm back now and ready to have some fun!

Life was circling the toilet bowl for a while, but recently got employed and making money again. Things are so much better now.

Susan - big hugs to you!!!
John, need to talk with you about replacements for my flat lap, they're all worn down and worthless. Gotta measure everything and will get back with you.
Everybody else, I'm SO HAPPY to be back here! You can't believe how much I missed this place.

Good to hear from you again Robin. Believe it or not, when I see people pull themselves out of a difficult situation, reminds me that there is hope and we still got it!
