Hi, Gang!

I can now semi-rejoice - I HAVE A METER! No gas yet, but a meter,
nonetheless. After making some adjustments to the burner's stability =
issues
and some kiln shelter structural changes, it will be a 'go'. The gas
company's representatives even want to come out and watch the first =
firing,
so they can see firsthand how this works! More people at the party! Yay!

Getting closer every day,=20

Hay Gail,
Score for the Figglywig! Hope they won't be on the clock, doesn't it
take you a day & 1/2 to fire? I'd leave the viking helmet and (m)eed at
the house. Don't think there's any laws about drunk firing yet but leave
it to some (...) Conservative to get a bug up their butt and wanna
control things for the sake of the children.
