Thanks to everyone who responded to my Peter Pugger questions - both on &
off list.

Since Ron & I have had no experience with pugmills and we were both trying
to learn how to run it at the same time, we seem to have gotten a bit
confused last night.

So today we read all of the great advice, reviewed the instructions again,
and had another go. We found some clay on one of the seals that was
keeping it from drawing a vacuum. Once we cleaned that up, everything
went just fine.

The clay that was spinning was largely reclaim that was pretty wet. By
adding some stiffer clay & letting it mix awhile, it cured the spinnies.

Thanks again for all your help. I can tell I'm going to love this machine.
