To those who have never been, no words can describe it.
To those who have, no words are necessary.

So true!!

And I can think of two guys on this board who attend while their wives and kids stay home. Neither of them sounds unhappy in the marriage. Same. I know lots of people in . . . interfaith marriages. :) My fourth burn, wife's first. We have been married 18 years and have 6 kids. She has been super po...

My fourth year. This will be my wife's first. Excited but a bit nervous. Cant wait tho!!!

I have used 2 foot rebar at the post bases and duct taped the rebar to the post. We also use one or two trucker straps over the whole structure to hold the top poles down tight. Works great. I recommend cheap home depot thin all weather carpet for your floor too.

Two pieces of 4' x 8' plywood or that glue board (not particle board), cut in half for four 4' x 4' sides. Drill three or four 1/2" holes along the edges of the vertical sides so that you can use those plastic zip ties to hold the pieces together to form a box. Line the box with carpet cut to fit. ...

Other than not having a generator or turning it off , anyone have input on an inexpensive yet effective design for constructing a good sound shield for generators. I have reviewed the info on the bm site but want specific design tips. Thanks in advance!

Somewhat related question - how do LEOs view NO2 (nitrous oxide/laughing gas)? It is legal here but I cant find any info for NV/BRC. It is illegal if used to get high and not used for a medical purpose under the supervision of a physcian. Here is the text of the applicable Nevada statute: N.R.S. 45...

Good advice. This will be year 4 for me and I want to get in as soon as possible (duh) but want to avoid the 8 hour turtle crawl in the dark like I've done before. Thanks for comments

Question, Pecho... What do you mean by 'get in line early on Sunday' ? The gates open at Midnight Sunday(Monday AM)... there is no getting in line early; if you arrive before midnight, you'll get parked in 'D' lot, which means you'll sit and wait until the entry line has gaps... I guess I'm asking ...

(second request) - any advice would be much appreciated.

You are a smart guy. [/quote]

All good comments I agree with. Thanks for filling in some gaps there.

Pecho, I hope you will come by our bar (Farmopolis - the Cornhole Bar) at 5:15 and D so I can pour you a drink and thank you personally. Whether you can answer my question or not, it's so nice of you to offer to help :) You do indeed rock! sending you an answer PM, and I would love to come by and h...

Yeah im an attorney. Happy to try and answer legal questions for fellow burners as part of my service effort

Where is the best place to fill up water coming from east on I-80? Winnemucca? Fernley? I read there is no parking on the highway into Gerlach. I want to fill up my water at a reliable place without driving it 600 miles and I want to get in line early on Sunday. I'm transporting a lot of people so a...

Maybe I can help answer some of your questions. 1. Can you be charged on the playa with DUI for riding a bike after having a few drinks? (within reason, obviously you wouldn't want to attempt riding a bike absolutely mangled for your safety or others). Might sound like a silly question, but I know t...

When is best time to drive in to get in line? The past three years i have spent 6-8 hours in line. I want to be near the front of the line when the gate opens. I dont mind parking and camping since we have a camper. Suggestions from smarter burners than i? Was thinking maybe reno sat night and head ...

The costco carports work great with rebar stakes and trucker straps or rope over the top of the whole structure also staked down. I also bought some cheap thin all weather carpet from home depot to cover the ground area. Works really well.

Honeybadger! Hilarious
