How do I manage to keep stripping the bolt that is responsible for moving my cups on and off the rough spheres?  I did manage to do it again today.  As a matter of fact it was the very first thing I did this morning.  down a sphere machine again!  This time I had everything ready for Alan to begin repairs when he got home from work.  This is of course his favorite job of all time, fixing broken machinery ......not.  Hopefully I will be able to use it later tomorrow.

This did put me behind.  Did I finish the laundry in all my spare time?   Sure. Right.  Swamp land in Florida too......

In my remaining day off before working the weekend I hope to at least get 1 of these Oregon jaspers round.  They have been taking a long time.  Also, I have on a Chariote sphere with large flat spots.  Waiting lined up on the bench are a couple of Desert Storm sphere wanna be, an Eudialyte sphere, and a couple of others.

The saws are cutting as usual.  A larger Red Lightening and an Oregon Jasper are getting there multitude of cuts.  The 24"er was mostly idle because I just couldn't decide what to cut.  I suppose too many choices might not be a good thing.

Thanks for reading.....
