Electric & the powers that be.....

Last Saturday seemed like any other day according to the weather channel.......

I woke up early satuday am, as I was suppose to go to a liove show which I found out the past Monday wasn't going to happen. Car issues, family being sick and just general business kept me from some of my fall activities...a model horse show.
I decided to make the Best of it...
I had loaded the kiln the evening before and debated whether to "FIRE" the lil kiln up, when the evening kinda took over before I was done with my nightly non related hobby.. clean the kitchen chores...

So at 8:30 am saturday I crammed the last muddy HSO into the kiln and fired er up!
1 hour on low- 1 1/2 hours on medium and so forth... The kiln promptly clicked off at 12:15pm.
I was thinking to myself as I was underglazing..."that seemed quicker than normal"........

and

POOF "OUT WENT THE POWER".............

Here I am sitting with an airbrush in my hand, and no light or juice..? what the heck?
make my way back into the house and noticed I HAD NO POWER anywhere!

I was wondering what had happened? Had the kiln kicked my breaker? It never had before :-(

My husband and son had a Boy Scout outing all day so I called him and he seemed to think
that maybe it was just a power outage.. On a beautiful sunny day? "It was a bit windy today" I thought to myself......

I usually don't run the ""Lil Hot Box"" if we are going to have inclement weather, which I thought it would be a safe day with very little wind... No rain...

I just couldn't stand not knowing if all the lil asses and horses were okay....
Did the rain prematurely kick the kiln off? Was my airbrush going to be okay after sitting with Underglaze in it for hours?
I had 2 Floras in there that I had started to do underglazing on.........

stay tuned:)
