The last two months have seemed brutally long, mostly due to work. It has been difficult to find time for the hobby and most of that has only been just enough to keep things rolling. It has been more of a chore than anything.....blah, blah, blah, call the wambulance.
So today I was able to carve out seven hours to do nothing but clean, cut and grind rocks. Man did that feel good! First we cleaned out our two vibes. We have been playing around with our vibe recipes and hot damn- these may have the best polish we have ever achieved. Then it was cutting time to get some stuff ready for some new runs. Using the 7" tile saw, the blade was at it's perfect level of wear- still cutting like a champ but worn enough to grind some more delicate slabs. Decided I should make a few hearts to throw into the vibe as we have been doing 2-3 in each batch since we did a big run of them:

After getting the vibes up and running I decided to hop back on the tile saw to grind on some fist sized pieces to get them ready for tumbling. Ahhh, feels good to be back. Going to get some more time in this afternoon and tomorrow morning.
