You may be new to cabbing pal Butte hard to believe you fell out of a cab Yesterday ha Those are some hard shines Done really fine Thank you @mohs, that means a lot to me. I hope to improve and post many more photos. All the compliments are attributed to the folks who have posted their work on here. I never thought I would be cabbing. I actually started by making flats, cutting and polishing specimen rocks, like end cuts on petrified wood and agates. Then I discovered the beauty of slabs. Then I ventured into the, creating cabochons, portal and saw all the beautiful cabs. That's where I found the inspiration. Have a wonderful day! Hi Doug did you get a cabbing machine ? whatever your using - its working well its a really great hobby to try all facets keep on! Ed dshanpnw Doug see you answered the question about he cabbing machine earlier know you'll enjoy manipulating a stone along a spinning wheel to bring out form & shine good stuff

Right on Jean Phoenix seems to be on a milkweed monarch kick Last season they were passing out seeds to hikers I drove by those plants this morning will be watching their progress Pretty unusual sure rangers are growing them This is one of my favorite photos The Monarch was just there And I snapped it fast Amzed how well it came out with the NikonCoolPix ________________________________________________________________________Reading about Calotropic and Milton's Poem ...greedy they pluck'd
The Frutage fair to sight, like that which grew Neer that bituminous Lake where Sodom flam'd; This more delusive, not the touch, but taste Deceav'd; they fondly thinking to allay Thir appetite with gust, instead of Fruit Chewd bitter Ashes, which th' offended taste With spattering noise rejected: oft they assayd Hunger and thirst constraining...
(bk. 10, ll. 520–528)all I need is more temptation... _________________________________________ [/b] I'm stoked now to know that this plant may attract Monarchs I'll be on the look out for photo oppo's ...

What follows is not overly exciting yet it geologically rocks & I tinkest one of my hobbies Is street photoning w/ELF While cruising about a humongous block of rock On a pallet caught my eye Stop the Car! That block is about 5 feet long Its huge heavy and being kept for something After inspection I think it slag A couple small pieces were broken off on it Real fine grain and small pockets What I think was formed by gas bubbles The block is in yard that manufacturer of rebar or least wholesalers So slag may make sense.. Maybe it stored to be used?

yeah it was strange strang e thing I forgot to say that when I rounded the aisle and saw that body I yelled WTF !!!
I think that what set off the fire alarm well there is a rational explanation darn it and as you well know Lee its long story... I know it was long post and incomprehensible butte no one going to ask about the dead man ? mohs I'll bite... What was up with that dead guy? Police suspect foul play. it was the fire department crash test dummy they snuck it in

When I worked in corporate mainframe data tape library center They used Halon for fire suppression As it explained to me the halon deprives the area of oxygen Helping to extinguish the fire.. So in enclosed area it was real necessary for human and other living beings to evacuate because of the lack if oxygen Maybe like a canary in a gold mine ? Which reminds I have a real long spooky story to tell about working in huge tape library. My two other co-workers left for lunch leaving me to man the library, Someone as got to be present 24/7, Mohs on the job. I got a call for a tape mount It happened to be way down a long aisle To the very back of the building. About 75 yards Just as turned at the end of the aisle at the back wall of the building BAM!
There was elongated human body laying on the floor! I was at the head end. This person had on NY Yankee's baseball cap. As I approached cautiously and just enough to look over the bill of his cap I noticed his arms were across his chest and his hands were DUCT TAPE together!!! Just as I was trying to process this strange sight the FIRE ALARM WENT OFF
Big time noise and flashing lights Mohs as entered the Twilight ZONE!!! Geez I made toward the exit. The clean up lady was petrified. I’m like FIRE! Go! Butte then I realized she no habla da Inglee Si- so I gohs; Pyer! Pyer !! Vamojs,,,, Vamojs,,,,,
Off we went. As we were exiting -the firemen were entering! I told them there is a dead body in Volser Section LX666999 They thanked me and told me to keep moving… Which I did…. True true story Well the cleaning crew lady may have been bit of an exaggeration Butte not by to much Mostly

just happend to be up on the butte sunsetting when that auto crash occurred saw it on later news -not good
suppose in some 3-D scientific way w/ spectography, perhaps
could tell if the black smoke is predominantly petrol based or free of it ,,,mostly or maybe not
