Kiln!

So I made contact with the person who's selling the kiln, and she writes back and says she and her partner are home after five, so I should call then.

And I said, "Hmm, 'and her partner', eh?"

And I called her, and we set up a meeting in a grocery store parking lot (partly because she says it's hard to get to her place without guidance, partly, I'm guessing, on the 'make sure the people from the internet aren't crazy' principle).

And I identify the car, and am looking at it, and, yup, rainbow edging on the plate. And a leather pride flag.

Hee.

The couple reminded me of a bunch of my classmates from Feri training -- that generation of amiably partnered grey-haired women. They are apparently from Colorado, and amused by local placename pronunciation (but really, that's because it's funny).

I'm getting a kiln! We're hoping to pick it up tomorrow.

Kiln!

(I still feel physically phffft, but kiln!)

Congrats!!

(I think my favorite local placename is still Braintree. Because - Braintree! This is a Braintree-bound train! This train is going to Braintree! I GET VISUALS EVERY TIME, LOL. But there is a lot of competition. [g])

[livejournal.com profile] whispercricket mentioned potential borrowing of her car. Let me know if you need assistance moving the thing tomorrow. Currently I have: straigten tomatos and siphon turtle as tasks for tomorrow. I can add that without too much madness.

Woo kiln! I've missed context, though, so I have to ask the obtuse question: is it for pottery? glass? metal? other?

*feels a pang of kiln-envy* Wow. Neat. I hope that it brings you happiness and messy hands.
