Subject: Re: 100 Cups and More Kiln Shelves
Gary: I am sorry if this is coming piecemeal. Nothing has helped my
lower back more than stretching out the hamstrings (why does that make sense?) - and I do this by hiking my foot up onto the kitchen cabinets, and straightening out both knees, keeping the lumbar region nice and straight, pressing my palms together, and stretching forward... first the right side, then the left trying to hold and relax like 15-20 seconds.. that and hydrothermally soaking the muscles in warm or hot water, say,
that and trunk stabilization like ab crunches & leg lifts, & asanas
Nothing is worse than ruptured or slipped disks, I am here to testify.

p.s. the pots are fabulous, don't worry yourself about that.

> Well thanks to ClatArter Bill Schran I'm gonna pickup 11 kiln shelves from Smith-Sharp at UP Special in Iron Mountain today. I was thinking of going to Minneapolis to catch Lee and Mel's shows if gas was 50˘ cheaper but it went up enough to make paying shipping worth it. Besides, I didn't have to sit driving for 7 hours each way which is tough on the lower back.
> Now I remember I need new cones too so I better order them from somewhere soon so I can start loading the Hobagama. I found a few ^06, ^01, ^5, ^6, ^8, & ^9 Dart gave me so I could probably load the tail with a ^01, ^6, ^8, & ^9 now and get some ^10, ^11, & ^13's for the front plus others next week.
> Somebody mentioned they were doing a hundred tea bowls for practice so I figured a hundred coffee cups would get me into the production flow too. It ain't easy to remember all my slick moves for throwing after 20 years so I started out slow with a couple here and there till I got comfortable with single balls weighing the same...

I notice I like a sturdy almost heavy handle, probably from all those restaurant coffees I usta have when on the bum, you know the ones, thick, white, never break. I leave them thick too because they will shrink down to just right for a couple fingers. A couple will go to the grand kids so smaller is better and Steve, Andrea, and Mom can get something larger. The remaining pieces will be available with or without a Christmas wreath on Etsy in about 4 months if they turn out OK.
