I always love those honey pots, quite the prettiest I have seen anywhere.

sounds fair for both parties price wise 

Hope so, as this is my first time with wholesale.

best,

Pres

Have a wonderful trip!

One other off then radar thing is the early morning fish wholesale market-its opens at dark 30 and is worth going to to see them auction off all the days giant tuna and all restaurant fish for all of the islands-I did it 20 years ago and it was a highlite.Check it out

Bishop Museum today was great. New building, and some additions I had hot seen. In ten years this town has really built up. We are at the Ohana about one block from the International Market place. Nice room. I could only do a few days at Aulani, price and boredom.

yes. Hope it all works out.

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.

Assembled, now I am waiting on electrician.

When the old J236 broke down, it was in the middle of a firing. The cones had turned white, and the pots were all glaze fired, but lacked depth and appropriate hardness. I believe the kiln reached about 2150F. Therefore, I have enough of a load to fire in the new kiln. The old kiln would hold 2 patens(plates) at a layer with overlap of rims at different heights. The new kiln will handle 3 to a layer, and will handle quite a load of chalices at the top levels.  The first firing will not be packed, but will get me used to what is going on.

Congrats, Pres! 

great news! hee hee exciting....x

there are 2 kilns advertised on craigslist for long island.  one has only one sentence about a paragon Dragon.  no phone number, posted awhile ago.   the other is for a paragon Viking and is current per a phone call this morning.   PRESTON, PLEASE CONTACT THEM.   SEE MY PM TO YOU.

Really will hold out for an L&L, mine is nearly 30 now and still runs great.. . . not sure of others out there. Thanks for thinking of me.

Pres

OK, i will stop looking.   it is just that kilns with controllers and all the shelves and other goodies do not come up very often so i jumped on it.   hope something L&L comes up soon.

sounds absolutely awful--best wishes

Last of heavy meds only at night now. Nothing during the day. She is doing pretty well.

That sounds brutal Pres!  Send her my best thoughts for healing!

congrats on entering the 20th century!

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

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.

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.

I have never heard of using popcorn for packing material.   We just save the packing material we receive in the mail.   We just ran out of boxes and my husband needed to send a car part he had sold on E-bay.   To solve our problem decided to order some groceries from Walmart,  if you spend over $35 you get free freight.   So far we have received only a fourth of our order but it was in a nice sturdy box.   As  our order trickles in we will be getting more boxes,  I got a e-mail notifying me of a back order.  I am glad I didn't order anything I was in desperate need of.   Denice

We go out once in a while, I had to go to State College on Monday afternoon as I was running out of popcorn and bubble wrap. Groceries once every 10 days or so, masks, etc. Staying in otherwise.

I have been using popcorn for years. Haven't lost a pot as long as I compress the box and wrap pieces individually in bubble wrap. 

I was wondering if you also wrapped them in bubble wrap.

FLOODING?  What happened?

Don't really know, Walked into the shop after the snow and ice we had, it was thawing outside. The shop had 4" of ice on the floor covering the foot pedal, the extension socket on the floor, and some of the bisqueware on the floor along with many other items. All thawed out, but the damage to the foot pedal and the extension socket. Easy enough to fix, As to where the water came from 3 possibilities: drain in the floor that leads to an underground river, brick walls that are worn after the last century, and the garage door that does not have a lip, just a rubber seal on the door itself. Who knows!! First time it ever happened in over 20 years.

OMG well maybe set the foot pedal and extension thingy up on the wheel when not in use?  Of course I'm an abnormally clean potter and I always leave my station shiny.  Wouldn't work for someone who cleans Simon Leach style.  I mean I love the guy but his work space makes me shudder ...

Glad the damage wasn't worse.

grey matter is all thats left

Can never remember English, or American spelling!
