Wonky Weekend, 8/13 & 8/14

<p>Morning!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Speedy kluck to RIL!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oops. That is supposed to be LUCK. heh. Finger hit both keys.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Somehow I pulled my right groan muscle (as my mom would call it) and it's really annoyed this morning, so I just walked the beastie a few miles. He is laying next to me with his tongue haaaaaaaaanging out. heh.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A friend sent this pic to me yesterday. For some reason it reminded me of <strong>boB</strong>. <img alt="wink.gif" id="user_yui_3_3_0_8_131323939578713" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif"></p>

<p>Lots of stuff to do today. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hey <strong>Parkers</strong>, are we on for tomorrow?</p>

<p>Solar, that is awesome sidewalk art!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And no, unfortunately this groan thing has been going on a couple weeks. No idea what I did, it's just sort of been nagging me.<br>

Does this mean that you won't have to get up at insane hours of the morning to turn it off when you're making stuff? </p>

<p><br>
Yes, and no. heh.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My current kiln is manual, which means that dials that control the temperature have to be turned up by hand. When I fired over night I had to get up & go out to the garage to turn the dials up every few hours. The last year though, 9x out of 10 I loaded the kiln in the evening, and the next morning got up at 5am to turn it on, and Dh turned it up during the day according to the schedule I left for him. The kiln shut off on it's own when it reached temperature.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The new kiln is computerized, which means I can program it to turn itself up. Which means I can have a more gradual increase in heat (as opposed to low, med, hi, & hi fire dials), which is better for the pots - makes them stronger. I'll still have to get up early turn it on, but otherwise it should finish the firing on it's own. Still won't leave it unattended, but it won't need as much tending.</p>
