Leave it to me...
Yeah Paul could you just move all (and by all I mean like a million!) these stupidly heavy stoney/concretey mountains about 100 miles over there, thanks. Will give you a hand...(not!)
(some time later)...oh you have finish, then you can stack some more wood away.
So today's been my own mini strong man competition, great?

Fired!
So I'm a little zoned out today after staying up working all yesterday and then doing the 12-8...:20 shift on the wood soda kiln. Tried to hit the sack this morning but with the builders in and people constantly in out out the house I didn't catch any sleep.
I was waiting for the king to get me up for when they started adding the soda but he decided to let me rest instead...yeah that's great but the main part I needed to really learn about was the adding of the soda. Looks like I will be doing another...
The firing went really well, such an easy kiln to get to temperature. We actually had to really slow it down as the temp was climbing like a monkey! I left the kiln at 8:15am and it was at 1227 and climbing. They finished around 12:30 after dropping all the cones and adding the soda.
Special thanks to my firing crew K and Matt...the dream team. Couldn't of done it without you.
So what did the rest of the day shape up to be? Sitting, lying and eating! So tired, the ring it's getting heavy...

"Everyone likes juice"
Man I'm beat!
Been a long day stacking wood, cleaning, and packing and prepping for the wood soda firing. Looking at around 20 hour firing to 1300. I've got a even longer night...12-8 firing shift Whammy!
We are firing and assisting Danish potter Sten Borsting http://www.stenborsting.dk
Interesting the translation of the towns name Skaelskor is...Crazy Dandruff?
Power nap time
