Looks like this has been fixed.

I would like to point out that at some point your capacity causes quite a bit of work during weekly clean outs. It also requires a bunch of rock to start with. If these are not a concern, add more tumblers!

Is there a rule of thumb for vibes, such as if you have 10 pounds of vibe capacity, you would want 30 pounds of rolling capacity to keep it fed if you do stage 1 in a roller? That would really depend on how hard and jagged your starting rocks are. I was running 24lbs of capacity at one point (mostly agates and jasper) and my 4lb Lot-O sat unused for quite a few weeks before being needed again.

elders = mentors forgotten name = Jim 1967 = 1972 This is why I would make a terrible witness!

There was a post setup the same way. "Insert the cool phrase here - something about being careful choosing your elders" - Grandpa (forgot the name) 1967 So I tried to be funny again. I guess I need to stop

My comment is really out of context since the one before it disappeared!! And I actually liked the comment that was there. Hmmm...

So I noticed that every time Cylindria her label goes around that her label "flashes" me. She is so flirtatious. The saucy minx. - Grandpa Patrick 2017

coloradocliff from day 1 mentored me on this site and for the short time he was here I would say we became pretty good friends. Of course that's what two brothers of the NAVY would do. That being said, I guess you all know how I voted. and I don't and wont hide my feelings on how I feel on this subject. I guess I am just loyal that way. Direct and to the point. Ill meet you at the Front Door not the ack because I have no hidden agenda. That's the Southern Bred Hillbilly part of me talking. As Mama said, "Son there is no right in doing wrong". Men need to act like Men, Instead of changing there names every 15 minutes, and gloating like a cheap Peacock. It is pretty easy to see who the CHIT STIRRER is, one guy is gone, and the other is still causing problems! That should tell the admins something. That's all I have to say about that. ~Duke Since you obviously know the full story about what's happening here how about you step out your front door and let us all know what happened.

They've been out of stock on that brecciated jasper for quite some time. It was a favorite of mine and I've been waiting for more to arrive. Says the guy that gave up tumbling??? Whatsamatter, Dave, that trophy reinvigorate ya? I've never won anything before. I feel like I've got something to defend now!! I also forgot to say in my last post - GREAT BATCH. I can't believe how quickly you got these thru coarse grit in a small barrel!

Not great he says , I see a whole bunch of awesome shine . Nice batch of tumbles . Thanks - I was more referring to the material. About half of the batch are unknown common rocks. Been doing this awhile so shiny boring rocks just don't seem to cut it anymore. A few years ago I would have been thrilled with this same batch. Chuck I feel like this comment sums up my rock tumbling feelings. It takes some great material to get me excited again. But this is still a wonderful, shiny batch!

I won front and center tix to a concert of his in '95 from a local radio station. Entry for the contest was a few cans of food donated for a food drive. First concert I had ever been to that I wasn't working security. What an awesome show. Lots of 'TLC', as ChicagoDave would say, in the air. RIP, Tom. TheRock, is the TLC fan. I'm all about the THC. I pulled out the guitar and strummed a little Mary Jane's Last Dance last night before bed. RIP, Tom.

I used to be able to click on a thread from my "Participated" button and it would take me right to the newest post. I could also do the same thing clicking the word "New" next to each post. Now it just takes me to the thread and not the latest post in the thread that I haven't read. Anyone else seeing this issue?

I was trying to read between the lines and make a (now obviously) dumb joke. I know absolutely nothing about why Cliff left. It seemed you were saying a whiner was to blame. I was curious why you were getting mad that someone left because they didn't like the whining while something something snowflake. My attempts at humor have failed me once again. There were no slights at anyone intended in my post.

There was no quoted message. I was wondering what I stepped into... Heading back into the upstairs section now

I'm speaking personally and not as a mod. You think you have claimed a victory, but you haven't. Cliff is living up to a promise he made. You do realize that other people exist and that their presence is not up to your whims? This is not your personal playground. A lot of people really like Cliff. Bashing him in public like you do says more about you than him. I will freely admit that I am not his biggest fan. I'm not defending him because we're buds. I am saying that I thought you were better than this. He's gone and you are still poking him. Was that to me? I'm not bashing anyone. I was making a joke that Bob said people were snowflakes and then got mad when someone (apparently) got mad and took his toys from the sandbox. If I'm poking anyone it's Bob.

Well, I guess that cop shoulda stole that beach ball and more.... My bad. How those that can't deal with different points of view or feel the need for a "safe space" or to run and tell when presented with something with which they don't agree will ever make it in life I have no clue. I reckon some don't and will always remain children and/or child like. It's a pity really ... a society of betas and snowflakes. Not sure how you can post this while also posting in the Shoutbox "Need to mull over what more I want to say, 'cuz I'm pretty pissed off right now. Thinking we lost a good one due to a whiner."
