Great to see you're still around!!!

On January 6th you could threaten anybody and carry all the guns you wanted.

So it goes.

Yea, the time from gravel to gate finally dropped below 8 hours since opening on sunday. :shock:

Things always slow down in the summer.

This year more so.

I haven't sold or move a plant in months.

Like everything, this is both a blessing and a curse.

I don't have to go out in the heat, but I'm not making a dime. :lol:

Another interesting start on the playa this year

The main reason I designed the cooler is that there are sooooo many amazing things going on 24/7 that burners can sometimes be overwhelmed and not realize they've been up for a couple of days. Then it hits them at two in the afternoon that they HAVE to sleep. Or they dance all night and stay up for ...

Back window works well as it lets the air flow freely through the entire space.

As for your rv, the easiest way to mount it is a narrow shelf in front of one of the rv windows.

The cooler is inside the space with the pad side against the screen.

This keeps it removable easily for other uses.

messer, you live in Tucson. I live in Apache Junction. When I grew up in Mesa (in the stone age) all we had on the house was a swamp cooler. Even now with AC, I use a swamp cooler as long as the humidity is 10% or less since it saves me $4 a day in power and works just as well. Yesterday was 107 wit...

There's a lot to unpack here. 100cfm is not going to do what you want. We've found that the fan [model afb1212she 1.60 amps 190cfm] is the minimum for an affective bucket cooler. Since the bucket is outside the space, I'd be surprised if you noticed the noise. I don't think it will cool enough to tr...

The bucket is slightly tapered, so the pad "tube" will be about a 1/4 inch from the sides of the bucket where the holes are.

If the pad comes in contact with the holes, the water may find a way out.

I would consider that a large tent.

Even if it is under shade, the bucket will only help a little.

The blue pad is all you need as a filter.

Anything more will just block air flow.

Any dust in the bucket settles to the bottom in a thin layer and will be fine.

The bucket works fine for a small tent.

The unicooler is for larger spaces that need a lot more air flow.

Any year you can manage to go....... Is worth it!!!

I hope they're resting in peace and not spinning in they're graves.

Just watched this doc that I hope you find as interesting as I did.

On amazon prime if you've got it.

I'm wondering if this is a cheap knockoff, but the price doesn't reflect that.

Tried to post pics, but error message says the file is to large.

I no longer pay for a site I can post pics from, but this is the stuff. https://growerssolution.com/products/70-aluminet-shade-cloth?variant=40784710369461&country=US¤cy=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw8c...

Just rescued a 20x45 edged aluminet shade tarp.

Nowhere anywhere have I read that aluminet can shed micro-silver glitter with age.

It does, and now my driveway looks like a pound of this stuff is everywhere.

Moop much??

did you try craiges list?

It worked well for me.

The current administrations policy seems to be "Throw the baby out with the bath water, then burn down the house cause of dirty baby. Cordon off the block cause there MAY be dirty babies in there and shut off the water as a cost saving measure for the utility. What's this...MORE DIRTY BABIES THAN EV...

One of my favorites. RIP.

I guess this is what happens when we have the smallest micro-minority on the planet running the white house and cabinet.

I don't know how it could be possible for them to understand what is best for the majority.

Not just the U.S., but the world. :roll:

Even if there is a workforce, manufacturers couldn't tool up quick enough to make a dent in what china provides.

If the illegals start to get deported, food prices will probably triple or overall shortages like they had in California a few years ago because the weren't enough people to harvest.

Tuning into Fox News following Tuesday’s presidential debate, it was hard to describe the mood. Somber comes to mind—a little like you might find at a funeral, perhaps for a beloved cat consumed by a political boogeyman.

Damn those fact checkers anyway!!! 8) 8) 8)

Glad you got back safely.

Sunday.
