I have Verizon which in my opinion has the best coverage of any company. However I'm sick of a $140 a month phone bill. I would be very interested to know what kind of reception you guys get with this company. Cheap prices aren't any good if you can't get reception. Curt Curt, to second Shotgunner's comments, I'm a Sprint user now so I'm anticipating the service to be the same, which, for me, has been excellent. No issues with dropped calls, service coverage area has been solid. Phones are scheduled for delivery today by UPS. I'll get activated and running and will post an update. Paul

Gee, my wife and I vote on everything. For some reason my vote doesn't count. HA, that's funny, John. I don't get to vote. I have to check in with Starfleet Command ...

Don, that's a great looking piece. Where did you find it? It looks a lot like a rock my boys and I picked up in Last Chance Canyon up in the El Paso Mountains in California. The one we found had reddish/brown agate inclusions in a white matrix similar to common white opal. Polished up nicely.

So I spoke with the club member who is in charge of the selling and he confirmed that it is on for next weekend. Probably both days - Saturday and Sunday. Oh, yeah ... go ahead ... rub it in ... LOL! By the way, those were awesome finds in the other thread (not sure if I mentioned it), congrats!

I thought Jean was talking about the transformation from Chameleon Scott to Regular Scott. Sort of like Wolverine ... but more colorful.

Welcome to the forum!
As Tom and Rob mentioned, do some quick searching and you'll find all sorts of advice and information on tumblers. If you're looking for a recommendation, I went with the little Thumlers three pound rotary tumblers. They're not the fanciest, nor the fastest but they're reasonably priced and get the job done. I ended up with a single and a double barrel tumbler. The vibratory tumblers are faster at getting the job done but are also more expensive. If price is a consideration, I would go with the rotary tumblers. And I used The Rock Shed as Rob also recommends.
Happy Tumbling! Paul
