i leave them at random places at the lake whenever i take my seadoo out. i always have a marble or two in my storage bin. whenever i go ashore for a safety break i'll leave a marble in a tree or on a log.

I always have one or two in my car for when I see wet concrete. I stick them in the wet concrete. I've only found wet concrte twice.

Or for road rage throw them at cars who cut me off. (I'm kidding..... That's dangerous)

UNIQUE TIME LEFT GAGE

Take like 85 marbles and put them in a jar then take the number of marbles that is your age is and put them in another jar. then every year on your birthaday put 1 marble from the jar with however many marbles left into the jar with lets say you are 35 in with the jar with 35 so you have 36 and every year you will have more in the one jar actual year and the other jar will get less and less.

If you are already over 50 it will give you a different way of looking at the number of years left to do great things. if you are 25 you will be amazed at how fast you turn 35 and in 35 more years you will only have 10 marbles left. Hopefully we will be around healthy and happy past 85, lets have a good time NOW though!

also putting big marble in a sock for personal security device is only for emergency use only, OK!!!

Had a guy ask me yesterday where he could buy the cheap marbles.
He puts them into cans of Danish oil to keep the air out.

I use a bunch of fire polished sections of 16mm rod to keep my 100% methanol dry. Easier for me to make than buying bulk marbles.

YEH, like old fashioned video games or old fashioned play station

Make crazy glow in the dark mushrooms inside and see if anyone will use it for their glass eye,, that would be kinda weird...

Hey - I just had a guy ask me to make 9 marbles to propose to his girlfriend with.
I think the idea is that they all go into an amulet in settings that allow them to be rotated. The marbles have a North marker and some lines inside and together they somehow pinpoint a latitude and longitude to the ring.
Not sure if I can even make these yet butthe idea is a bit Indiana Jones...
