Too cute. AJ had blueberries and yogurt for breakfast at daycare. Daycare utilizes a phone app. to send parents photos of their children throughout the day. After this photo was taken, he had more to eat. Then, daycare staff had him lay on some poster board to make imprints. The imprints were given to the kitchen staff, who loved them. He was then changed into some clean clothes for the rest of the day. He’s so cute and SO happy!

Wonder if 10 to 20 of 'em on that treadmill would save electricity over running them normally with one barrel per motor. What was the RPM? I suppose it can be adjusted? There are some pretty cheap treadmills on Craigslist. hmmm....

That was 1 mph, haha. Looked to be around 30-35 rpm, and yes adjustable in .1 mph increments.

One thing to consider with the idea of running a treadmill to power a tumbler, they take up a bunch of electricity. I have remnants of two treadmills picked off Craig's list free stuff and used for other purposes; one says use a 12 Amp slo-blo breaker and the other says 2 1/2 H.P., 18 Amp on the motor plate.

Speed cranked to 15, incline to max, and 1/8 ton gentleman might induce such amperage.

Pink Coral Bell Azaleas are starting to bloom in the yard. Yard rock is from the Diamond Hill Mine in SC. I used a sledge hammer and chisels to break it off of a large boulder years ago. Quartz crystals on the left side and angle plated quartz with smaller druzy crystals on the right. Quarter in the third photo for size.
