Working on a wedding jar for a nephew in June.
-
87F. Yesterday.. . . weather is nice, and presently I do not need it! Next week when I get back from GA I have more chalices and patens to do, and some funerary urns to do. Working on cleanup and try working with the white clay.

First of Communion presentation sets went out. 13 more to go out. Honey jars and mugs are moving along. Whew.
-
Do you have photos on your blog? I don't know what a Communion Presentation set is.
-
They are the chalice and paten sets. They are used as a presentation to ordinands into the ministry with high community service, academic achievement and religious commitment. It is called the Hickman award. I have them posted in last years blog postings. My sets are completed with the Order of St. Luke logo, stamped on the plates which are actually larger than the standard paten that was used with the wafers for communion, but of late the churches are going to the broken bread communion and intinction. Intinction requires a wider bowl on the chalice to allow for dipping of the wafer or bread. Almost too wide to be drinkable, but not quite.

Snow, Snow, Snow, Oh NO!
-
Hopefully your last storm, it suppose to be 77 today. We have gotten a total of 1 inch of snow this year, still in a drought. Denice
-
11 inches yesterday, will probably all be melted off by the end of the week. I would not want to be in a drought, but at the same time, some warmer weather will allow me to get into the frozen shop!

Back from NCECA yesterday. All unpacked, and doing laundry. Exhausting week, but well worth the time and effort. Lots of demos, lectures and other to visit.

I always post the keys in the first post with the questions. If anyone has a better suggestion of where to put the answer key, I will be happy to make the adjustment.

Thanks Pres!

Pres:
My Windows 98 (remember that version) is still purring like a kitten downstairs.
-
Yeah this machine of mine had a 6 core processor, and a 2 tb drive with a 120gb SSD drive. I had built it myself 5 years ago for 3D design and animation, along with running various other machines like a stencil cutter. It has run well, but many times they do go POOF! Still trying to get the new board up and running, but have help from the Mobo manufacturer.

I have concrete everywhere. Right now, the ice is terrible! Have a post hole digger that has a 4" flat blade weighs about 15# so it will scrape up ice well without a lot of chopping work.
-
Just wait until the thaw
-
Not on a public sidewalk, we don't dare.
-
Will be heading home on Monday late. Having a great time. Very little pottery. Hope to be up and running by Wed. However, we are not looking forward to the frigid temps.

You might consider an extra week of warmth
-
I feel for you if you got home with all the airport backups . from the tropics to a deep freeze . Should be warming up in day our two.It got into the upper 30's last night here.
-
We are home! Got in last night at 2:30 after the drive from BWI. Weather last night was icy coming out, but as we got closer to home the temps rose, and it was a balmy 36 when we got in. This morning was 38, and all is good. They are looking for 50 by end of the week!

Folks, I will be away for about 10 days. No. . . not more hunting. . . My wife and I are going to the Southern Caribbean, on a cruise. It is our 45th anniversary, and has been planned for several months now. Also, I will not have the quiz and the question of the week this week or next week. I will be dropping in now and then til Friday, but then not certain if I will be on afterwards.

Went hunting on Monday and Tuesday with my Dad, 91 yrs old. Had a good time, but then we did not get a deer. . . it wasn't about getting a deer.
Will be away again Friday and Saturday doing same.

49 was a very good year, and it make it easy to remember your age!
-
True. I lost mine in 2004 and 2009. Miss them both. After I retired for a few years I was able to take them on trips for a few days in the Autumn to see the trees turning. Glad I did it.

I just posted the PQotW#34. It is guaranteed to be something different and challenging.
