Where are the beads?
I've been firing up the kiln the past few days, but I've also been dinking around with my torches, trying to get the quick disconnects attached (they will let me switch torches quickly at any time, instead of tearing down and reinstalling them), and well, I should know better than to attempt this on my own...my friend Mick came over yesterday and smelled propane - which I had no idea since I can't smell - and this morning Brian tried to mash the crimps down on each connection, but to no avail... SOOO, I'm taking two torches and all my hoses to the shop around the corner, and hopefully Jim can get me up and going..In the meantime, I'll fire up one of my class Minors and see what I can get done... I have a set in mind, and I have the rods pulled, but I just haven't had a chance to get on it...
I'm still going to bed early - 9:15p last night, and getting up early - 5:50a this morning...its actually kinda cool to be up in the dark, and I don't mind...I haven't been to bed after 9:30p since I got back...heh...that's like unHEARD of for me...but its kinda fun...i imagine eventually I'll get back to my normal sched, but this isn't so bad...course, I haven't tried to make many beads yet - you know that I can't make beads during the day - my best work comes after 5:00p...hmm...we shall see...
its cold and rainy here...the cats keep zipping in and out, they aren't happy about getting wet...then they jump up on me and get me all wet too...i've learned to just keep a towel on my lap and dry them off as best as I can...idiot cats...
more later...time for breakfast...!
