Finishing Winter

 Well, we are hopefully finishing winter,  we still have a lot of Snow,  right now it is 39 degrees, it's Friday Nite, we are sitting home as usual and on computers, we went to a Wake for My Honeys Uncle who passed away, he was one of the original 17 family members and the family is slowly losing members  ! There is now only 8 living of the 17.

.

I am still playing with my Rocks, I have a good set up in the Basement .

.

.
These are the 2 Tumblers,  both are grinding and shaping rocks !
.
.
I am unloading the big tumbler, cleaning the grinding Grit off the rocks and checking them !
.
.
These are now cleaned, now they go back in the Tumbler and I use a finer Grinding Grit and will let these tumble for 5 days and then check them to see if they can be Polished !
.
The Mayonnaise Jar on the right holds the used Grit I used, you cannot pour it down the inside drains as it hardens back up like cement and will plug the plumbing !
.
We are seeing more and more Snow and the sap is running so there is going to be a good year for Maple Syrup !
.
.
Time to go get a bowl of Ice Cream for us and watch some TV !

Enjoyed the entry, to a Southerner it doesn't sound much like saying good bye to winter, LOL But I do like you hobby, looks like fun and an enjoyment. Also smart to think of the plumbing when getting rid of the residue....
we boys do need our playhouse.....
Hug the pretty lady and think about SPRING!

Sherry & jack smiling just to see a load of clothes washed... LOL

Just over from Jack69's site. Your hobby with the rocks is awesome. OUr gr-daughters loved the polished stones we always brought back from trips. They would spread them out on the carpet by the fireplace, showing us which their favorites.
