Just general life updates

The rock tumbler is still humming (clunking?) along nicely, and by next Monday I should have my first batch of rocks done! I've been taking progress pictures every time I take them out to switch the tumbling grit, but I'm way too lazy at this point to organize and post the pictures. I plan on posting side by side progress pictures once I finish tumbling them. I've gotten really used to the sound of the rock tumbler going, and it's quite nice, especially considering the house is silent otherwise. I guess I have to start another batch as soon as this one finishes!

Otherwise things are fine here...we're getting more and more cases of COVID-19 in the county, and I've been staying away from human contact as much as physically possible. I'm going solo camping tonight though, so that'll be a nice outdoor excursion to keep me sane. I've been to this campsite once before last month, and it's really remote and away from humans...it's technically not a campsite, but a wilderness area with camping allowed anywhere as long as you follow certain rules, so literally no one should bother me. It was a bit chilly last time, but now it's solidly spring here, so hopefully I'm comfy!

Sounds nice! Hope you enjoy. My husband and I miss tent camping a bit - ever since he started needing a CPAP machine a couple of years ago, it's been kind of a nonstarter where there isn't electricity. (Suggested workaround is to hook it up to a marine battery, but I expect you can guess how that's not that convenient in terms of price nor weight - my car already rides a little low when stuffed with camping equipment!)

Thanks! I got back this morning, and it was really lovely just being out. My mom needs a CPAP, so I understand how much of a pain in the butt they can be, but so so helpful. But a marine battery? I can't imagine trying to lug that up a mountain...
