What a lovely peach color. It looks like Dreamsicle!

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

Yes, I call it orangesicle opal because in person the white and orange looks just like a dreamsicle. I took a lot of the pics too late in the day to get the real orange coloring.

Thinking about throwing a bunch of it in the tumbler.

Might be a while. The 12 pound barrels of my larger tumbler are coming apart so I am down to 1 12 pound barrel, 1 6 pound barrel and two 3 pound barrels, which are all going with other stuff. Unless I just throw them in the vibe. I prefer to run stuff in the rotary for a short time though before going in the vibe.

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
