Hello All! I'm not exactly new but have not been around since August 2019. I started feeling very bad that summer and blah, blah, blah, had to deal with some medical stuff that barely left me enough energy to work and spend some time with the kids, but enough about that. We (my Son A.J. is still my partner in crime) have never stopped tumbling and in fact are branching out in the lapidary arts a bit. We had to change our approach due to my limitations but we did manage to keep our rotary tumblers going the whole time. As in most (maybe all?) situations where you are forced to take a different approach there were lessons to be learned, I look forward to sharing this in the near future.
Anyways, I look forward to interacting with all of the great folks I did when I was here before and those who have joined in the interim!
Al

Thanks guys/gals. Aside from all of the lapidary information/discussions there is something else I really missed that I didn't even realize until I started tooling around here the last couple of days: the avatars of captbob and Rockoonz, made me laugh out loud yesterday like I had never seen them before.

Welcome back! I too left for a bit (funny how life can take it's toll) but came back as I always loved it here. I'm sure I asked you this before but where in WNY are you> I'm down Holland.

Welcome (back) from the desert Southwest! I certainly remember you. You've had a lot of good advice and positive things to say about some of my past efforts. I have also been known to do a disappearing act from time to time. Good to see you again.
