Memorial day weekend - for the most part, weather sucked! brrr howdy. Friday weather started to come and temperature started to drop. Mid day saturday it was raining and mid 50's - brrr.
My fantastic hubby got me a new motor for my Lockerbie Pottery Kickwheel. I havent used the lockerbie that much because to center larger pieces of clay you have to keep the speed up manually (your foot/legs). Now that I have the motor assist, I use the motor to help me center it and kick the rest when I am shaping etc. Oh yea, I throw pottery - been doing it about a year now. So got this new thingy - want to use it right? too cold outside to throw (400 lb wheel or so...) so we let the ramp down on our toy hauler trailer - and wheeled it up into it, shut the door and turned on the heater, he he he! was great, so while the weather was yucky I was able to throw clay for a bit. Will try and take some pics.
Sunday the weather improved and we enjoyed a portion of the Hill AFB Air Show at my parents home. Thunderbirds were impressive. The most enjoyment was having lizzie run back and forth on the porch spotting planes and yelling "...that was AWEEESOME!!!" emphasis on the awesome of course... with her fingers in here ears when it got too loud. Enjoyed a nice visit and good food.
Mondays weather was fabulous, mid 70's - ran some errand and took a long drive in the 86 Wagoneer, doggies in back - to utah lake to let the pups jump in. Sun felt really good. Grilled steaks for dinner. Was an enjoyable extended weekend. Good nights sleep for monday night, prep for the week of work.
Life is Good.
