Well Jan 2 of this year I started rocking.

All my adventures have been somehow connected with this board and all the great folks here.

I started tumbling, then I added a lortone combination unit with a trim saw and a couple wheels. After that I built up with some better lighting and added a UV10 so I could get a shine on the cabs that I started cutting on the Lortone. More tumblers, started rockhounding, went to Wyoming a bunch and collected Turritella, Stromatolite, lots of agate and petrified wood, fossils etc.

I've managed to beg, borrow, swap and steal and ended up with more tumblers and a good slab saw.

I bought all manner of rock from many of you and eBay, and eventually Jon and JSGems hooked me up with a genie.

I've wire wrapped and in spite of not finishing a good piece yet I have started metalsmithing and making silver and other metal jewelry.

WHAT A RIDE!

SO - Thanks to all of you for a great first year! I love hanging around here and can't wait to see what next year brings.

Happy New Year!

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
