Re: [GSAS-Member] Free Gravel

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

There's probably just a couple bucketfulls of the silica sand.  Hiro is 
interested in it, but cannot pick it up himself.

Sandu has claimed the FREE! gravel, which he confirms is "Texas grit".

I'll send an update after the meeting.  Should be a good excuse to take 
more fun close-up pictures.  I found some more bags of stuff, including 
what appears to be finely crushed green granite.  Seemed like a fun idea 
at the time, but we've never found a tank appropriate for it.  We also 
have some tanks and lids that it's time to dispose of.
