Oh how I hate being sick. Unfortunately, here I am again, low grade fever and all nine yards, or however that expression goes. Andreas just got better. I suppose now it’s my turn. Lets hope it stops here.
I started feeling it especially last night, when the firing kept dragging out, longer than I had anticipated. You can’t just stop mid-firing, call it quits and go to bed…
I’ll leave you with images from the loading and firing. Hoping to pull the door bricks this weekend – more pix then. BTW, we tried spraying salt water this time, in addition to a few salt cups… Keep your fingers crossed. If the results are good we may have resolved the boiling salt cup issue for good. I did make all new cups with a good amount of alumina mixed in, and from what I could see through the heat and flames – they were still up and intact at the end, so that in itself may have fixed the bug. We shall see in a few days. In the mean time I will jug ginger and chamomile tea by the gallons and maybe get some extra sleep… ahhhhh.

Last little things going in.
