      I hope it's going well with your dad, my mother-inlaw is 90 and she can get pretty feisty. Her car has been in the shop and I have been driving her every where. She's a good driver, isn't use to being stuck at home and is getting a little frustrated. Denice

      I did a road trip to the grand canypn with my dad when he was 87. One of my best memories of him.

      It's only humid in Tucson for maybe 15 minutes after it rains. Then the ground soaks it up and it's back to a dry heat.

      Your entering my neck of the woods, hope you have a great time.

    Thanks for the hint, I keep using them to soften the comments as I know that at times I can be abrasive when I mean humorous. Guess I never grew a funny bone! I am learning to tread very lightly in the forums-slowly.

  14. Pres

    Thumb dressing is off, shop is frozen, I won't be in til after the stitches fall out. Hoping to get back to bowling week after next.

      What I tried to do today. hehe. Too many distractions.

      Do you have an amount you make before you wax and glaze? I been trying to workout a schedule.

    2. Pres

      Pres

      I usually fire the bisque, then while unloading clean and wax. This way whenever I decide to glaze fire part of the job is done. wax will stay there forever.

    3. Marko

      Marko

      Cool. This is very helpful, believe it or not. It's very efficient.

      Now, if I can loose the distractions. Thanks a heep.
