This is the second day in a row that I started at 4 AM.  The garage is still warm because it didn’t cool off too much over night.   I really can’t open the doors yet.  I don’t want any of the night wildlife coming in to visit.  Mama skunk doesn’t wander through the yard until 530 ish and I haven’t figured out the raccoons habits yet.  I can hear them moving around in the bougainvillea at 530 still.  The last creature I would want a visit from is the tree rat I see eating bird food in the neighbors yard.  I will need to wait for sunrise.  

My latest sphere to been going back and forth on is an Ocean Jasper.  This is also one that has issues with scratching.  I have been trying to figure out if its because I have been using more aggressive cups on the high speed machine to get that last little red dotted flat spot out.  Just maybe my impatience is making more work for me down the line.    You think?  

I will again try to make another cut of the copper in matrix material.  I should have dressed the saw blade before the cut that doesn’t want to happen.   Again, impatient,  Two saws are empty, not sure what to put in them.  Lots of indecision although I have cut a good portion of what I bought home from Tucson.  

Thanks for reading.....
