and now for the hurricane half of the year 2011-07-01 - 8:37 a.m. Cut up the stone tiles for the birdbath project. Will do the grinding today. Picked up two freecycle wooden tables but both of them were the wrong size for a stone mosaic -- they'd weigh a ton when finished. One of them fit in perfectly on the bird porch, taking the place of a milk carton better used for toting and sorting rocks than as a shaky little table. The other one just wasn't right and is out on the curb. Applied for a credit card that will supposedly give us $300 back once we spend $500. We. Shall. See. Hope they're not going to play the same bait and switch as American Express. Applied for the free checking account that will supposedly give me $50 for using it three times in the first 45 days. That one, I don't doubt for a moment that it will work. Trying to focus on the offers that are a minimum of $50, since if you accept one offer, then it often blocks others. I don't want to pick up the peanuts when I could be picking up Benjamins. The year is half gone. I have cut 140 stones to the finish line, many of them well-packed in the safe deposit box for hurricane season. I have finished one mosaic. We have opened probably over 100 geodes,and we're working on finishing up the rest by year's end. Probably by summer's end. I am doing more low impact exercise, with just a bit of weight training, to preserve my knees. Walking, slow jogging, hopping up on the eliptical trainer for some quick intervals to get my heart up, but not the constant pounding. All things considered, in June or maybe late May, I increased my daily work-out from 30 minutes to 45 minutes, and it seems to be going well. One thing I don't ever seem to get done: I never seem to get close to finishing the photography for the online mineral museum. I've done 6 shelves of the main cabinets, so I have 6 more. But they seem to be large, intimidating shelves -- the Quartz specimens, the Calcite specimens, the fossils. I'd like to move another 100 pounds minimum of material this month. Last month was a good one -- some good swaps that resulted in getting geodes, slabs, and even a few tumbles; some good donations to a school (who paid the shipping and paypal fees to get the books and kiddie rocks) and to J's "let's see if this amethyst can clear out some fleas" project; and a decent sale that cleared $50. Oh, and we sold off that welding machine that was the bane of my bird porch. Sold off the single earrings to the gold place. Not a lot of money in the sales but enough to keep the workshop from becoming a money pit. Heck, at that moment, it's showing a tiny profit, although that vanishes once I order a new 8 inch diamond grinding wheel. I need to get off my duff and post some more swaps and even try for another sale or two. back - next All Rights Reserved, Copyright 2002-2017 by Elaine Radford
