It's Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend and since they're firing all those
wood kilns in Flagstaff this weekend with pine everyone in Canada is
coughing their brains out. We put our turkey out on the front step and
smoked it to perfection.
BJ sent that pic of the Flagstaff train smoking and I thought immmediately
this is a symptom of soft wood we can't live with as urban potters. Smoke
means someone passing by will whip out their cell phone and call the fire
dept.
Tuesday at Sheridan we have a Korean potter demonstrating mishima. We are
looking forward to this very much. One of my students Danny will translate.
With Bruce legitimizing the roulette and now this I can see me wanting to
have Kelly send me some leather hard extruded coils to carve- hint, hint,
nudge, nudge.
Wednesday I fly to Phoenix and rent a piss pot to take me to Flagstaff. I
hope at least one kiln is still firing so I can feel useful.
I have my slides ready for the Train Gang presentation. I will be comparing
my kiln to a square box Volvo- no curves, no sex appeal, but very
dependable, reliable and rides like a chesterfield on the freeway.
Looking forward to this mini adventure very much.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We have a great deal to be thankful for- the
friends of the clay community being one biggy.
Best,
Tony

Maybe you'll have time in grad school for Mishima Tony. ;^)

Tony,
The train is at 1700deg F right now. (Monday early evening).
If you hurry up here, it might still be holding at 12 (or 14 like the double
wide hit on it's virgin voyage). The double cat/arch kiln will still be
going for sure. Wil Shynkaruk just loaded it and it's probably just getting
lit right now.
Taylor and I can wait for you to get up here. We had a shift together a
couple days ago right after the double-wide had stalled and dropped 400
deg. We both said "Why isn't Tony here?"
Jason Hess showed up though. Opened the damper and told us to fill it as
full of wood as we could stand. We went from 1700 to 2100 in 4 hours. You'll
like these kilns.
