I spend 3 hours commuting every day. Barf! I've been doing it for almost 2 years now (commuting). I bought a farm and it's worth the drive. I just want to stay home and be creative but I have that nice fat mortgage. I am going to be cutting back to four days soon, then three and hope to retire in '08. I will have put in 30 years and that's enough!
What kind of rock tumbler do you have? Where did you get it? Rio Grande? What is that? I just might have to try this. I have tons of glass, but mostly opaque. I like the clear though. But can't imagine grinding all those pieces. LOL!
