Hi friends, I’m Tone, I’m 62, I’ve loved rocks all my life, but just a few months into tumbling, I know why did I wait so long, I don’t know! Anyway, I’m experimenting with different types of grits to make it a cheaper hobby, so I’ll appreciate any advice that I can get on this forum, and I’ll be posting any successes that I experience.

Welcome from Northern Arizona!

Robin

"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."

-- C.S. Lewis
