The only thing worse than shopping for the holidays is getting up at 430 AM to go to  work.  That is what I did this morning.  Imagine my surprise when I wasn't on the schedule.  With this blunder in mind I decided to get the shopping completed.  An amazing  4 hours later, it was done!  Keep in mind this was more time than I have been in the mall for all of 2015.  

This task completed, I now have the majority of tomorrow to work on rocks.  That darn Pietersite is still not round.  The flat spot is still the size of a quarter.  My miners share rock is completed.  He has changed the name from Rainbow Porcelain to Sunset Jasper.  I hope to pick up more in Quartzite at the end of the month.  I will cross my fingers that there will be Sumatra Jasper there as well.

In the saws there is more Pietersite.  I have also started cutting a Wild Horse Jasper boulder.  The saw is not happy with this material, singing out its complaints in a high whine.  I think next will be some Enchanted Desert or Lizardite.  An odd combination of names.  I like the first better although the desert around Quartzite, AZ may have more lizards than enchantments.
