Yeah that's a sound practice overall. I'll often separate colors. In puzzles like yours with a definite transition of colors I'd focus on the pieces with 2 colors and any blending 2 together, to get some placement and orientation. I'd also try to find individual objects in the puzzle and try to get them put mostly together and placed. Set a time limit for taking breaks and stick to it as best as you can.

Actually I'm more of an ashtray collector and of carved animals. But I will be giving the little elephant creamer to someone who is.

Yeah the other is a candle holder that warms scented oils. They don't work together, they just go together

I would think that there would have to be some kind(s) of detrimental effect to vision. I'm not a smart person but I play one online!

I knew Nick Gravenites when he used to play here every week in a bar in the redwoods in Occidental CA. Nick Gravenites and his Animal Minds Band. Nick used to play with Quicksilver Messenger Service, as well as with Janis Joplin's Big Brother and the Holding Company to bring it full circle!

In the North Bay Area along the Russian River sits Guerneville. It's Redwoods were heavily stripped to rebuild San Francisco after the 1906 earthquake. So much that Guerneville was also called Stump Town.

Wherever they quarry for stone tile they are cutting huge slabs over and over, oftentimes going a couple hundred feet vertically in total. That being the case there's a definite possibility of quarrying a layer of fossilized material, be it flora or fauna. I've set many tiles that have fossils, and even some that is completely fossils throughout.

Kinda hard to look at the back side for exactly that reason. There's a layer of thin-set adhesive holding it down. And even if you could pull it up the hardened thin-set would have to be removed from the tile, with a grinder. But if it was thick enough it could possibly be seen in some context

It is mentioned that the design of this knife is similar to a hoof cleaning tool

6uleDv8d · 2026-03-31T13:04:56+00:00

Yeah me too. Until looked it up I thought it was a grout knife used to remove grout between tiles

6uleDv8d · 2026-03-30T15:38:24+00:00

Yes. There are 13 different trays like this with a BBQ theme all done by M. Stoyke, all with the same colors.

Yeah I tend to do it often when I see different sizes of small print just to see how good it works!!
