Thank you, thank you. It was a good day. I bought stuff to help me work rock. I broke down and bought a Dremel because my poor moto tool burned out a wire. It can be repaired but my ability to solder isn't up to it. I bought stencils to trace out cabs on slabs. I tried to buy bell caps but no dice. I tried Micheals, Hobby Lobby, and a local bead store. No bell caps. I finally said heck I've been spending all day so why not and $10 went on a Rio Grande findings catalog. I went to the dollar store and got a few colanders for tumbling. After I came home in the afternoon the mail lady came up with a heavy package from my Dad. Then the UPS guy brought a heavier package from Miles supply. Miles sent 50 lbs of coarse grit. My Dad sent a baby grinder! It's a Thor and is almost as old as the moto tool and is kinda weak but hey it's mine! It takes 4 1/2'' wheels. I wonder if I can get 4'' cloth pads to work and buff stones on it? Yeah I spent more cash today than I have in a couple of months! So yeah, it was a good day! Joe

...just a couple more hours and I would have snuck by. If no one noticed my birthday maybe I wouldn't age another year? Ok, ok, it's my B'day and I'm entitled to say silly stuff. What do you mean I always say silly stuff...

Hey Joe, sorry it's my fault, I'm the one who caught it. But it does sound like you had a great day, Im glad. I'm also glad to hear you got a Rio Grande cat. They will probably send you their tool cat too and you can find all kinds of neat stuff in there.
Happy Birthday again my friend, Ed
