Hey Folks,
In spite of the fact the landlord got aggressive and had to be put in the =
old folks home and they think I'd be ready to leave in September it ain't g=
onna happen yet so I hope I'm not making a big mistake trying to get anothe=
r load fired before Christmas. My pal Dan has a bunch of standing dead Tama=
rack ...

... so we stripped the branches ...

... and he cut the trunk in 2'-3' pieces. I split a couple long ones and br=
ought the rest home to bust up later ...

Some more trees downed by the city I had left on the ground along the road=
last autumn and went back to finish getting more ...

The sticks got brought back to the sawbuck ...

... and the skinnier pieces get cut to length with the machete or lopping s=
hears and the bigger logs get the Husky 50 treatment. I think if I get it c=
ut up, stacked and covered it would finish drying in a couple months to be =
ready for a firing ... I hope. My original business plan for this year woul=
d have had a spring and autumn firing with the two fairs in the summer and =
so far I'm right on the beam. If I can do that, even if I still only get ha=
lf the kiln real hot, I'll consider the whole effort a success. It would be=
great to have some more pots to choose from just before Christmas and put =
them on Etsy with an option for a wreath delivered as a gift combination.
Thanks for checking this out and stay in there eh.
