While the chryscholla is in intensive heart surgery The rocking through extreme conditions must still proceed w/ shaping shining & polishing rough sandstone before the mohs mantra mambo jus what we do….

right on Ev
we may get slight reprieve but summer is here
traditionally I can keep busy into early morning June around the 6th
that's when temps don't get below 120 or so nothing but hot rocks
that fine-- can take break
the more disheartening thing is this point breaking that just showed up never had that problem before strange
[perhaps trying to thin the web too much have been try a different technique
altho I wonder if my 80 grit is too worn not aggressive enough >
causing excessive heat and vibration in the calibrated preforming stage > ha
not sure ? 3 of the breaks were w/ some unstable rock so that also contributes
anyway I just pinned two so we keep on...
I be back
