Tuff As Nail In The Morning and Easy as Pie In the Afternoon

Let me tell you this morning it was tuff as nails around here. But last night there was a major windstorm that came through like a slow fright train. It was all quite the site. Wind was making the tree like the all was doing the hoola hoops and branches of all size and shapes was being tossed about. Around six that evening the power kept flickering on and off and close to seven we lost power then about 12 hours late we had power.
What I heard some people wouldn’t have power until till about a week or so.
What I actual plan to do was remix the slip in my pour tank because it was starting to look like chocolate pudding. So I went over to Faith and Heinz to see if I could barrow a drill and they loan me one. Got the paint mixer (I also use it for mixing clay) on the drill and already to go and lost the power

Then this morning I tried to get back to normal life as it may be. Both Murphy and I have lived with out power before and I got things done but now I became spoiled and I felt complete lost.
So this morning I rebeat the clay and my recycled bucket of clay I add 3 quarts of water and mixed that up. When I took a read of the hydrometer it was so close of being prefect and I figure it was best to leave it alone and the slip in regular pour tank was thick as chocolate pudding so I beat it and add more water and had to do quite a bit of readings with the hydrometer in the main pour tank. Well I put the hydrometer in it case and laid it on the greenware table and few minutes I was putting it up and I heard lead weight rattling in the hydrometer case and I looked at it and my hydrometer was broken and it less then a month old. I wasn’t a happy camper at all.
Then I poured a 24 pieces of greenware and 20 came out. 2 didn’t drain right and 2 I miss cut. So I was pleased with today greenware pouring.

This afternoon Murphy and I went to town and I wanted to put 60 on the credit card and 100 in checking account but I did the opposite instead. Then we went over to Murphy Sister Faith because I want to make sure they got their drill back.
Her daughter and her children came over and later on her boy friend came over they lost power like everyone else and didn’t know when they were going to have it going again. So her mom had a generator that she was letting them use. She was washing out containers so she could haul water because they have a well and it takes electricity to run.
Faith Bing Cherry tree was ripe and her grandchildren picked all the lower ones and Murphy and I got a ladder and picked the upper ones and we got 2 gallons of them.
My sister in law also got a pie cherry tree that is coming on and told me to come over and get some. I’m going to try to get over during the week so I can get enough to make a cherry crisp.

When I got home I order some ceramic supplies from Big Ceramic Store I mainly bought stuff that is used during cast molds. But I did get 4 cleaning tools and 1 spooly for cleaning greenware
