I'm not sure how long ago it was I shut down my tumblers because I was leaving town for a couple of weeks... probably 8 or 9 years. I've been thinking more and more lately about getting them set up again, and today I fired up the 12# Lortone with a load of stuff in 60/90, and a 3# Thumler with material that was in bags marked "for medium" (and which did, on inspection, look ready for that). The medium batch is about half Indian fancy jasper, a few bits of tiger eye, some moss agate, and a bunch of odds and ends of bubblegum agates and laker gravel. The coarse batch has all kinds of crap that was in various stages when I quit, and includes red jasper, amethysts, lots of laker gravel, probably some hammer-broken brazil agate, probably a handful of Botswana agates that I wanted to re-do to get some last few deep pits or chips out, and miscellaneous I-don't-remember-what-it-was jasper-type stuff.
Anyway, I used to post here a long time ago, and might be starting to drop by again occasionally.

Well, coming around about every ten years isn't too bad. Welcome back.
