Additionally lower RPM and larger actual muffler.

Thank you Lucky.

I’m very sorry for your loss motsky

I met Plowman here on ePlaya when Fat Sam, Plowman, Red, Somnivore, Greg, myself and others started Stag Camp in 2007 with only 2 of us ever having met face to face before hitting the Playa. I just can't describe what a great guy he was to Burn with. Damn. I already miss the shit out of you brother....

I think ready to go and tested install materials/setup and then installing as soon as you get to playa is the way to go. Typical window AC units put quite a bit of torque on the window frame and driving with that torque present while going over bumps could end badly. I really like Yiggy's cut out me...

As others have said Burning Man is a Do-ocracy. I think a realistic place to start is you doing or making provisions for 80% of the beginning phases of the project. Once you prove it can work then think about on boarding funding and build help. There are some great collective things at Burning Man b...

The survey took me forever but as along term camp mayor I had much to say. It was nice to see some very well thought out questions. It will be interesting to see what the future holds and what kind of action is spurred from the information. On the surface it seems pretty ridiculous that somewhere no...

Can you give us some pictures/drawings and materials so we check them out? There are some pretty experienced trouble shooters here.

I'd say 5 out of the last 10 years I have arrived greeters hasn't been operational and I miss it! I end up asking incoming camp members who hit greeters to pick up extra copies of the book and map. If I wanted a bypass lane I would just go to the far left and move a cone, go through and then put it ...

I think fence top rail comes in about 13' lengths and has a handy formed end that fits inside the main interior diameter. This means you can cut the piece in two and have 2 roughly 6' pieces to transport and then they fit back together for a full length piece. It's in the cyclone fencing area of you...

Did they pull it out yet? that's what she said

Looks like rain on the playa this Thursday, otherwise known as welding an aircraft to a desert.

I've seen one post of FB that the plane is on private property.

As far as updates go-- I saw a photo on FB that shows active laying out of what looks like doubled 1 or 1.25" plywood mats that are offset and shifted so that they overlap together like shiplap siding. Although the picture was not high enough resolution to tell it looked like there may be up to 4 se...

I'm taking that since there is no new news and no pictures or video coming out in recent days means there is bad news. I don't know if the BLM wont allow real heavy equipment on the Playa outside of the burn but.... It seems to me a large but not ludicrous large crawler with a drawbar and winch, 2 T...

Definitely email Placement telling them what your plans are and ask to be put back on the placement email list. It might be appropriate to tell them who the primary leader is and who the backup leader is if the primary is not available.

... I know right where it is and want to visit it in the late spring to see how shot up it gets... I take it the 'owners' aren't familiar with rural. At least there's bound to be some that hit low and let the water drain out that gets in from the higher holes. Wonder if it already has some drain ho...

Cool!

Thanks for the update!

Time to bring in a semi load of wood crane mats, 3 excavators with thumbs and an offroad forklift.

Road trip and soak at Trego?

Anyone?

If only I lived closer!
I know right where it is and want to visit it in the late spring to see how shot up it gets. It's going to be visible from a frequently used road. Hopefully Frog Pond and Trego have a cleaner bill of health when I make the trip.

I read that story too. I was wondering if any one had witnessed activity on the Playa that indicates they are moving it?

Anybody know if they are on site moving the 747 to private property today?

Black Rock City Welding & Repair has found our Manifesto!!!!!

We moved a vehicle on the perimeter of camp Monday to be closer to the owners stuff for teardown and overnight someone moved 2 stolen tents and contents also stolen from camps in to the spot where the vehicle was. Our campers surprised the thief in the tents as they were talking about how the fuck t...

Hot water heater trick. I have a travel trailer and after initial warm up I switch the hot water heater to pilot light mode. The small flame heats the water tank sufficiently for super short water conserving showers. This wont work with a water heater that has an electric ignitor in place of a pilot...

This is how I would approach that....Email placement and inform them that you are adding a co-lead. Give them the pertinent information such as real name, burner name and email address. CC your new co-lead on the email to placement. Describe there in that you want your co-lead to have the same autho...

...... Mosey on over to the older section of My mind begins to hum or a similar thread AND STAY THERE!!! It's where you belong.

Hey Ratty, There is an unspoken rule ( or up front that I'm not 100% aware of) about publishing aggregated camp real addresses prior to gate open. At least that is my interpretation of the few instances I have been involved with. Please stop by BRCW&R after gate open and pick up a copy of the info f...

Why get those specialized chunks of metal for more than the cost of the lag screws themselves? I bought a box of run-the-mill chain from a department store for like $10 for about 30ft of chain link or something. Then bought a generic bolt cutter at the same store for about $25. That's $35 (maybe le...

I've got 2- 3/8 socket driver Dewalt impact 20volts and I've got to say they struggle a bit with the 18" lags. Last year I was switching back and forth between them because they were warming up. We drive alot of lags all at once to secure the shades. For this year I bought the larger version with 1/...

Whew! Glad I got my 18's while they lasted!

Correct me if I'm wrong Elliot but you want someone to take this list and format it in an easy to read manner possibly arranging it by address and print about 150 of them out on reasonably tough paper and distribute them to the repair camps and Playa Info. Got it! Now we need a volunteer to gift thi...

It would not surprise me if DMV is set up to handle your legitimate last minute need for a disabled vehicle pass but are not in regular communication since they are probably in transition to on playa operations. Perhaps someone who has been in a similar situation right before the burn will crop up a...
