Title: one rock many points
Post by: bowmo on May 14, 2015, 12:41:45 pm

All these came from one smallish Georgetown nodule cowboy sent me last year. Some abo some not. Certain rocks just really wana become points I think.

I always wanted to post a picture of a rock then the pile of points it made but everytime I attempt it some kind of curse takes over and I break everything >:(. Really nice work on that one bowmo! Looks like you need another rock now, hmmm.

cowboy: I know what you mean. EVERY time I try to use the Splitpic app to show the reduction stages of a point I break the point. EVERY TIME! And, don't exactly need a new rock yet. I still have that long flat tab that's half concrete you sent me.  :laugh:

Haha...that last pic. And I know what you mean about the rock, I always seem to take more time with rocks that people give me over rocks I buy.
