Kiln

I'm feeling pretty great today. I am so excited I can hardly keep my breathing steady! Why? Because directed study presentations are over forever! ...And there is a salt firing that is in the process of cooling down that has a lot of my stuff in it! ...And the campus wide ping pong championship is tonight, and I have a shot at the trophy! ...And I might have myself an electric kiln, even though it is in need of some new coils! Whew, that was a lot, no wonder I'm so pumped! BWAAA!

Wind Power!

I'm really excited about energy efficiency, lately. I am especially pumped about wind energy because we have an overabundant supply of it in Iowa. Just the thought of powering my whole acreage with a wind mill the size of an old tv set fascinates me. Some models are pretty affordable and can be purchased in different power capacities: 1KW, 2Kw, 4, 6, etc. I am relatively sure that I will have one someday...

Sink

Today, after class, I went home and stepped over to the sink and happened to land on the rug in fron of the counter. It was wet... very wet. I looked under the sink and water was everywhere. I took everythig out, made sure it was fixed, and left again for Jazz band rehearsal.
