a mechanic on the porch art car/ uh tractor last year talked to me about the mobility camp. we never connected after that. Mobility camp needs your consulting advice about a tractor (vintage) on the playa. anyone got a lead on whom I am looking for? thankie youie very much. anyone else who has exper...

near end of event, this jacket was found in Just Jims gifting box. while it is usual to find gifted items all week. Can't help shaking the idea that maybe someone really lost it and the finder dropped it off in the gifting box. So if you lost it. well let me know and just tell me the maker/size and ...

Found this on the last day and the line was so long at lost and found. I asked and someone (not official) said they were open from 9 to 1 the next day.. well nope. They were open to claim ID's only which was a very kind gesture. dude it's hard to get a replacement passport etc. but I found not lost ...

These are pretty beat up and do not have any brand name on them. I tried them on and I can not see any magnification or other optical prescription but hey I can't see worth a darn anyhow so maybe they are prescription maybe they are plain glass. There was one sort of identifying tag on the frame but...

ok lets try again. I AM SORRY

Everyone. All of the world. Ignore my post. it was poorly written.

and in advance I am sorry to everyone who I have offended with all of my posts.

So if you are reading this please accept my apology in advance. Just Jim

You think it's reasonable to ask a bunch of strangers on the internet to remember this post in a year's time and then accost another complete stranger because you were silly enough to not only bring a treasured family heirloom to the insanity of Burning Man but to simply forget about it and walk aw...

Dear Ratty Sigh. I heard there were people like you on the evilplaya having to comment on everything and pick it apart. I am sure glad I did not meet anyone like you and your attitude on the playa. You show no common sense by your "accost" comment. Then you imply that common sense would mean you kno...

Thank you. Smilies... Just Jim

lost WWII army pith helmet with white string neck strap and Of course you are not seeing things. I mistakenly posted this same post on found... so oopsie here it is again. just jim I played with this WWII army green tropical pith helmet as a child. I would really really pay to get it back.

I played with this WWII army green tropical pith helmet as a child. I would really really pay to get it back. It was lost in the evening on the first day in center camp right next to a tiny table that was painted look up.. I looked up. and of course it fell off. I realized it 15 minutes later return...

thanks. I asked because my brother has bad knees he found one on ebay cheap and it was local pick up only well I am only 2 hours away so why not bother your brother to spend the whole day picking it up packing it and shipping it. Well I took the time to learn to ride it and realized he was very very...

I think I read all of the posts and no one gave a linkie for the mobility camp. they have been helpful with art tours that can hold a wheel chair they run 3 trips a day and you have to sign up the day before unless there is room try mobilitycamp.org Last year I think it was they had handicapped peop...

Now that I think about it I have only seen two Segways at burning man Are they allowed? Thanks

I do this a lot for the last 5 years. I was wondering what was or is your favorite gift to either receive or give? I am also interested in what was the most useless gift that really was moop? I got a knit hat from a lady in 2006 or 2007. I love that hat and use it all the time. If you are still out ...

The nearest Frys to me is 120 miles, by luckm going that way tomorrow! This will give me about 80 days to fuss with it. Jim aka the dusty guy. Thank you very very much.

Hi, In the past I've had a art project on the Playa and each evening I rode out to the site, turned on the blinky's and then in the AM repeated to turn them off. I'm wondering if anyone has figured out how to make LED or El wire, turn on and off by itself with a photo electric cell. I'll still visit...

thousands of binders can be yours. You kinda need to do the leg work. Office supply places, bankruptcy auction houses, thrift stores, printing houses for typos... oopsie.. ! be careful, you'll get overrun with binders in no time. put the word out on craig's list and what happens.. dunno. but be prep...

[quote="Dork"]I'm looking for an alternative to fabric for cladding my big art car and am considering using scales. I'm looking for something about 1 foot across, strong and stiff enough to stay attached and stay flat, but not something that might cut people so no sheet metal. I'll need something li...

Thanks for the reply. I only know of a gate on the regular temp pond. I thought it was the long narrow strip pond that you can just see the heat boiling off of ... Either way. I pass on the hot tub experience! After being there, I also no longer run behind the water trucks either! Best wishes. Jim

[quote="robbidobbs"]Johnny on the Spot was indeed sold to United Site Services last year. USS was in the end pleased with our performance.[/quote] Yep in the "end" most people are pleased with THEIR performance in the pottie that is. sorry it was just too weird to not let go unnoticed. now everyone ...

[quote="Isotopia"][quote]Forgot to mention that The earth First people, do conduct a "nature tour" of the area. you have to sign up though. [/quote] Jim, you may be right but I get a sense that you [i]might[/i] be confusing the annual BLM Leave No Trace Camping Trip as something that EF puts on. To ...

Yep I agree, a unlit person is a problem for everyone ELSE! I propose a supply of dunce caps with a led on top for the rangers to give out. That way at least you will be able to see them from 360 degrees.

Forgot to mention that The earth First people, do conduct a "nature tour" of the area. you have to sign up though. No touching the water though! Also, the truck driver I hooked up with spends most of his year supplying water to fire fighting operations and is based in Winammucca also. Just be sure i...

[quote="ibdave"][quote="jimstamper"] Ps. When I say Ban I mean NO sales of Glow Sticks on the Playa by BM organization. [/quote] In the 9 years of attending Burning Man I have not seen nor heard of the BMORG ever selling glowsticks ect... They do advise you to light up yourself for your and others s...

The water that is sprinkled on the "city" streets comes from nearby ponds where the hot water springs are. There are two springs that have cold water and I've seen frogs swimming in it who freak when the big suction happens to load the truck. During the burn this area is closed off by the BLM but if...

Been thinking about glow sticks on a string idea. Uh, can you reel them in in daylight or only at night? Why not reward the ones that bend over to pick it up in the day with a full can of beer, besides you might have reeled in a pretty good person, who would stoop to pick up your junk! Ps. When I sa...

Point well taken about enviromental foot print of what is worse? And my lack of precise wording at 4 am. (see below for more fun). I think people get the drift. All that needs to be done is have BM if they start selling things, don't sell crap junk. Sell a good LED headlamp perhaps. (ok have fun wit...

[b] I noted on 2006 census there was a question related to selling glow sticks at BM. ( + other stuff ) Considering the waste, the low light level and general difficulty of seeing a glow stick hanging around your neck when you approach someone from the back. LED's have a chance of being SEEN. There ...

Actually the maze in a stand alone format was at BM for 2 years prior to being under the man in 2005. I loved it. It can come back as a project near the man anytime. One year they promised it for Decompression in SF but it never showed. Apparently someone realized building this thing is major work! ...
