Before and After

[Allen in MT]

I had finally gotten a chance to send off the last of my MT sapphires. After several e-mails, back and forth and 34 days my stones have been cut, (faceted) all 91 of them. Now I just put them with the rest of them and over time make some jewelry or sell them at shows. This was the last of our stash, so now we will have to head back to the sapphire digs and start collecting all over again, but will have to wait till spring.
enjoy and HAGD

Hi Allen,

Wow! Gorgeous stuff!!
Are you now going to mount them, or sell them by the piece?
You always have such cool things to share!
You would look good in a PPS t-shirt!
BTW, how are the legs doing, are you going to have to have surgery this winter?
Best wishes,

~LARGO~

I'm going to the VA tomorrow 10/27 for a counceltation and they have me schedualed for Jan. 10th which shoots down the going to AZ this winter, Going to try to talk them into doing a knee scope and some scraping 1st rather than a total knee replacement, If they can't do anything before Jan. 10th I'm going to trty and find someone that can do it in Nov. Chances are that if I have both knooes replaced now there is a good chance that I may have to have them replaced a 2nd time as up to 20 years is about average before they have to be replaced again and they don't go as well the second time around and as much as I'm in the hills, I would probably wear then out sooner, sides that I wonder how the detector would react with metal in both knees?????
later and HAGD
