It has been a slow week.  I have been working on things I am not fond of.  This includes cleaning saws.  Ugh.

I have recently been cutting hard material.  There is a back log of preforms waiting to get round and the high speed machines have been idle.  This includes Moonshine Jasper, Turkish Stick agate, and  Red Jasper. Yesterday I hoped to fix this challenge.   The drop saw was fired up and I cubed and cornered some Lions Skin Tiger Eye, Sonora Sunrise, and 3 Spirit Stones.  Today I will be grinding until my arms give out.

We are still waiting to hear what will happen with the TGMS show at the convention center in Tucson.  I keep getting emails asking if I would come with the restrictions that would be in place with Covid 19.  Unfortunately, they are not saying what those restrictions are.  I imagine it will be masks, temperature checks and social distancing, but, how they plan to implement it is an unknown.  From my sources, the shows that happened in Denver were 50/50 in how successful they were.  The hotel show worked their requirements well, the show next to the coliseum had difficulties.  Ultimately it will be the question of safety.

With out shows I have had difficulty keeping my motivation up.  Thanks for reading......
