Title: Cry-o-lot
Post by: jonathan creason on March 15, 2011, 01:17:05 pm: Here's one I knocked out yesterday. Was hoping for something Kirk-ish, but mostly just ended up with ugly.

Post by: jonathan creason on March 15, 2011, 05:24:15 pm: Thanks guys. It's some tough rock that I worked on abo style, so I'm fairly pleased with the outcome. I'm a terrible photographer, too, so that makes it look even worse. I'll probably go back and try to clean up the edges a tad, but other than that Imagonna let it ride.

Post by: stickbender on March 18, 2011, 02:12:08 am: Been there done that, did the secret chant and such. ;D In fact it is quite common. But I do feel better. Seems to have some effect on the other rocks, cause, I usally get further than with the one that was sent to the four winds. ;) I don't have the Costa's though just dollar store reading glasses. ;)

I was told to make them last. Theyd be my first, only, and last pair ;D

Post by: stickbender on March 18, 2011, 11:26:41 am: Justin, that is why, I have dollar store reading glasses.... ;D I either sit on them, drop them, bend them, scratch them, or just plain lose, I mean uh, misplace them. Ok, lose them. Anyway, I buy four or five pair, and keep them in my truck,in the house around various areas, computer, kitchen, bathroom, etc. ;) i have an old pair of Ray Ban sunglasses, that are still in my truck. I don't wear them, unless I can't find my wally world sunglasses. They are too heavy. ;)
