I just don't think I could do it again.  Its 50 degrees, windy, and raining.  I'm in long johns and down.  I even had to get the propane heater out of the trailer to heat the garage.  Having grown up in Wisconsin, I just can't imagine living there again.  I feel like an icicle here.

I did accomplish the completion of 2 Indian Blanket spheres.  Such an interesting material this is.  You just never know what kind of polish you are going to get.  There is an Eudialyte sphere that is round.  I will get it on the high speed machine tomorrow.  Not much else in the pipeline.  

Am cutting a large piece of Shattuckite that we picked up last January.  Looks very similar to the first sphere I made of this material.  The corners are off another Lepidolite, but still need to grind the corners off.  Started cutting the corners off a cube of Norwegian Thulite.  Almost finished a cube of the gold and black moss/plume agate out of Mexico.  Alan was able to place the new pulley on the 18" machine that has the new motor.  Got it done just before the rain started again. Who knows what happened to the one that was on the motor when he took it off.  That darn vortex that just sucks up those things you need later.

Happy Holidays to all and thanks for reading.......
