Remember my friend who tried to go super thin right away? She cracked a whole batch because she rushed the cooling. Sandra_black nailed it, it's all about watching the heat. Now she makes beautiful thin mugs, just had to learn the pace.

Our local news said those gusts rarely top 40 mph, which seems manageable.

That sounds like a nightmare way to spend a day. Those surprise wildlife problems can completely blow up a simple job. Hope the rest of the week goes smoother.
