    1st question: how many minutes did it take you, factoring in ALL time spent?

    2nd question: was it fun?

    3rd question: will the process scale?

    4th and 5th questions: if scaled, will it be more or less profitable, and will it be more or less fun?

    You forgot the sixth question-

    How much did you have to spend to be able to acquire the tools, fuel and knowledge to perform the task.

    I like it. I need a few more ounces of granular for the grandkids in their gold panning.

    My guess is that he traded the blob for the ASE?

    That's nothing. I took $10k to the track and turned it into a bus ticket home.

    My dad was a magician like that. He could walk down the street and turn into a tavern.

    And right on cue nearly 100% of the time, you feel you need to respond with what you feel is an opinion that is needed, wanted or required somehow.
