So, what are people hoping/planning to do for rock related activities in 2018?
Here's my list: Now that I've got the parts for the Gy-roc, figure the thing out and get some nice rocks out of it. Win the Worldwide Tumbling Competition. Hahaha! Go back to VA and get me some nice shark teeth. Send some rocks to the people I owe some to.
And, for the really wild goal... Organize the collection! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (take a breath) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA!

I need to set up my new arbor and start cutting again with my big saw. Oh, and bring my soldering tank inside and clean up my work room.

My main goal is to facet more. I spend so much time looking at my available rough and the designs I want to cut. I haven't quite learned how to read a rough gemstone to get a feel for the best cut. So I just take a big slab of some cheap man-made material and start hacking away. So my secondary goal is to learn how to decide the best cut for the rough. And then facet some more!

When you don't have a car, you must rely on the kindness of others to travel. Thus, rock related activities look to be slim this year, at least for me. Ya'll have different situations, though.

I would love to learn how to cut gems/rocks. The work I have seen on here is astounding. If I could do anything like that I would be very pleased!

Car seems to be the what limits your world. Perhaps getting a car would be a reasonable goal. Just need a plan to put it make it happen.
