William - just to let you know - the rocks you sent are on their 6th 80 now, hard stuff but getting there and looking good.

I changed them yesterday but on Wed/Thur when I change them again I'll put a picture or two up so you can see where they are upto.

Cheers.
Andy.

Greetings All,

Hey Andy, I'm real happy to hear that you are enjoying the carnelian, sounds like you're doing it up right with all the extra care in the 60/90. Can you believe I haven't even started any of the carnelian yet? So much rock, heck I need another QT12, QT66 just to get so waiting between stages is no longer an issue. Someday, someday...

William C
