Gary, when I opened a shop back in 2001, it was located in an old gas =
station with an apartment attached on back. We literally scraped the =
cigarette gunk off the windows with razor blades. Glad you've quit!!!

Hay Crew,
There's another snow day for ya. I had to call in a
severe weather day off, might have gotten there but I
sure as hell wasn't gonna walk home from US2 at 11 at
night in 7" of fresh snow so I stayed home and did
whatever seemed natural. Well I wanted a good shot of
the snow on the van so I spent two hours cleaning most
all the North window of old bug poop and last years
tobacco smoke. Gees, hard to believe I ain't had a fag
in almost a year. So now I get most of the light and
got some footage of trimming for a test on exposures.
However a while back I had to have a go at throwing to
see if I could get anything worth trimming. Seems I
didn't do too badly first time out of the shoot in
years but fortunately the camera found it's own cut
off point and if a beginner can get to that point 20
times in a row they should have the basics down pretty
good to begin finding out how to change the direction
of the clay. For the time being here is sort of how I
begin...

Some of us they say are fire bugs and as I recall my
childhood days playing with an outside chimney grill
my folks put on the side of our house in Garden City,
Mi. in the 1940's-50's. I'd get that chimney justa
throbbin. So sooner or later I gotta burn something
and if I can add something made of clay to the mix so
much the better. Seeing how people were complaining
about how nasty my pocket kiseru was tasting I decided
to burn it out and re-fire it in my buddies "Box
Stove" and when that went well I took over a piece of
green clay to see if I had my "nudge" back for slowly
put it into the coals and it didn't blow up. Something
else in this piece is I added stills to the end of a
windows movie maker project making a slideshow after
the movie. Next I guess would be to add text or audio
eh???
