Don, thanks for the response. I let it go 3 days, but probably would have been better off listening to your advice. That last day seemed to take a bit of a tole on my rocks. Went thru the last stages and they turned out beautiful for my first set of finished rocks. Thanks for the help!

Ok, here are my first batch of tumbled rocks. There are some photos of the same rock, I thought some of them deserved the extra shots. This is my first time uploading and posting photos, hopefully they turned out ok. Hope you enjoy half as much as I did, 3 months of labor finally paid off. Thanks for looking.

Great job posting your pictures!

Beautiful stones. You really got a great shine on them!

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Thanks very much, unfortunately my photographing of the rocks don't do them much justice...gotta work on that. What's really cool is that the first 2 pics are of the same rock, just opposite sides.

You've got some very colorful, wavy, shiny rocks there.

mohs: The best solution would be for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to build an aqueduct from the Old River Control Structure on the Mississippi to Lake Powell, fill it, and then send more water from there down the Colorado to fill lake Mead.

vegasjames: They keep blaming the drought here when really a big part of the problem is all the uncontrolled building. The use enormous amounts of water to keep dust down when demolishing old buildings, then even more goes in to all the concrete and cement. Jun 30, 2022 18:41:42 GMT -5

vegasjames: Yet, now they want to build yet another stadium just after building several others. Then there are all the man-made lakes for the rich, the massive fountains etc. Lake Mead is dropping at around 8 inches a day and the lake is only averaging just over 200 Jun 30, 2022 18:43:32 GMT -5

vegasjames: feet right now. I calculated it out and at this rate, Lake Mead can be dry within a year. And they still want to keep building. Jun 30, 2022 18:44:20 GMT -5

mohs: I agree. Dry water is coming. (tumbleweed)

The only other solution is all these people go back somewhere wet. Bye Jun 30, 2022 18:59:19 GMT -5
