In case anyone is interested , the Chippewa Valley Gem & Mineral Society is putting on their 5th annual rock swap this coming Saturday . Aug. 24 2019 from 8am - 4pm at the Eau Claire County Fairgrounds/Expo center , 5530 Lorch Ave , E.C. , WI 54701 They usually have quite a few vendors and gets bigger every year . Last year they had about 30 or so vendors . Not huge , but pretty good for this area . Just don't get there and snag all the good stuff before I get there .

Pre planned that ha , down that road before ? Yeah , I think that code word thing could be handy for a few different things . Maybe not cabbing , huge ones maybe .

So I took exactly 1 picture at the swap. Just because pix or it didn't happen Had a great time visiting with Rich & Mrs. and razzing the sander seller IMG_20190824_122939And here's what I bought at the show today. It's a 10" Ezy-Lap Jr. I plugged it in and it runs smooth and quiet. I need to get a few springs for it and it should be ready to roll! BTW I think I got a rockpickerforever deal. It was $10... Jean, would you have paid that? LOL (oh he threw in a 3rd hand locking tweezer thing for the $10 too) How cute is that!?! IMG_20190824_185532

It always make the shows a little better when you have good people to hang out with . Thanks Nate for making the trip . We didn't bring home a lot but will try to get some pics . By the way , the sander is at the end of the white line on the right side of Nates pic .
