Lucky it didn't go further south. Oh my gosh, you're right! John, I'm so glad you figured it out before you went on your trip. That's an amazing story. I guess with good tools, shtuff still happens. No holes in your shirts? That's nuts. Glad you are in good shape and healing nicely. Jo

Also, if you check the local papers, you can find the schedule for the music jams. Alot of musicians come to Q for the winter and play on kind of an open mic venue. They are held in different locations during the day and at night. Lots of snowbirds go just for the music.
Also, the yard sales are a real trip.

All I can say is Wow! Dangit, we skipped the mountains this spring to come home to see the kids and take care of my Mom's estate. This really makes me wish we had done it differently. Glad you finally got to have this trip and it looks like you enjoyed every second of it!
How did the fish taste? Jo

That's a pretty nice batch there John! My personal fav is the Wampi-Wood. You're gonna have to save the sound of your tumblers rolling on your phone to play when you're on the road and missing them, LOL. Jo

I'm a little confused, he's saying the Palm Wood is Pet Wood, right?
Well, you could just call it an Indonesian Plume Agate and hope that somewhere down the road that somebody sees it and gives you a more specific ID.
Hey Kurt, are you sure the plume is not fossilized bamboo?

Haha... Tony? Embarassed?
If any of our members can make it out to Quartzsite next year for the RTH BBQ, it is a perfect opportunity to meet Tony and his wife Chris, browse their rock and go on an RTH rockhounding trip with him.

My experience isn't with the Lot but a UV-10. The only thing I can offer is the possibility that the amount of rock has decreased over the course of the stages. There was once a debate on here whether it is weight or the level of rock and whether adding filler such as more rock that is at that stage or ceramic or plastic pellets will help. Some people add marbles but it was noted that they may release gas from bubbles inside the glass and a tiny bit tsp of baking soda can help there.
The slurry will be thinner in later stages and therefore cushions the load less. I've heard of people using cut up pieces of leather or felt to help cushion there. Also, using rubber tile spacers (little Xs) is a good cushion.
I hope some of the more experienced members who are Ace tumblers can weigh in and tell me if anything I've mentioned is on the right track to help. Jo
