Gert it healed up before throwing.I broke my arm in 2018and it was a 6 week heal time and the brake was minor.
The healed up arm is more important than pottery making
 

Just as long as I have been married to clay -no ring to show for it
 
 

Congratulations Pres!  

I did the shots and hope to never get it. Sorry you went thru that-now its time to get the shots

sorry to hear that-I looked it up sounds not very fun

$5.85  now and rising here now-soon over $6 they say

happy happy-29 degrees last night and still happy

My next move is 6 feet under

Received a call today from shipper.  Kiln will be delivered tomorrow morning. Asked for it early as I have appointments (bowling) in the afternoon.
Have to have it dropped at the driveway. Luckily tomorrow is a no rain day.

Congrats-I still am in the Stone Age with a Manuel kiln. Enjoy all the time off after the learning curve.

Kinda like riding a bicycle...

yes happy holidaze

I have caught  Albacore  past past 23 seasons-from Montery to Middle Oregon. some years starigh out from from Eureka

YA-nothing is better than a warmer climate in winter

Lucky dog is right-almost a real large disaster -hey if it easy everyone woiuld be doing it

I NEVER count  pots-If I did I would have gone crazy years ago. What I can say is I count tons of clay used per year-Its been about 10 the past few years  . This year  its about 7.5 for 2018 . Have not counted exactly  yet but thats my guess.I'm slowing down fast now but that said my guess is a few thousand spoon rests and the same with sponge holders.The rest I do not want to know.

More like I had a show worth and broke my arm and cancelled show so now I'm swimming in stock

It ends my drying time outside as the sun has lost its power to dry my pots outside . That means I have the heater going in studio and its hot in there and you learn to work in the heat.T -shirt weather always until x-mas production is done.Shop was over 80 yesterday to dry pots before todays bisque load.
 

Its still very available . I bought #1000 when they thought it was going away.
Now Laguna still have many tons-just find a Laguna outlet.No need to substitute at this time

good you are back-I'm out of state-just did my big show.Drive home 12 hours in am.

none right around us.No smoke here as well.
