*hops down from the rafters, makes and leaves a drink on the bar. Makes another and raises the glass*

For Joel.

*raises saucer*

Cheers to friendship!

Crap... AntiM. We are thinking of you both. Don't forget, your wayward art is by our backdoor. We think of you every day when we walk to the shop. Ygmir, take the time you need. Our last year was 2015 and we flew into Reno and drove from there, rather than our usual drive across the continent. It wa...

Hi Cc!!!

Long time no typey. Coming to the desert this year?

(pours hot coffee in a handmade mug... slides it down the bar)

Ygmir!!

Thanks for the drink. I read that you won't be on playa this year. Dang it...

We're planning for next year too, though... with the Contraption.

Howdy back, stranger. Long time no see.
How about a little BBQ with with that drink?


Thanks! Nothing like good BBQ.

We're making it out this year so I figured that I at least better check in here and see what's happening.

(laughter from up in the rafters)

*plops down on the bar*

"You really should do something about all this talc-like dust, sir"

Howdy Bar. How's things been?

So this is the new place, huh?

Oh damn... left the cooler in the 2017 thread. Back in a bit.

We still have our wayward art in the back room. I walk by it every day when going to the studio

(raises glass) To the echos from the corners and halls! *clink* So BaceFook is nice to keep up to date via snipets and soundbites, and I really do enjoy that for the most part but I miss the BBS format. It's more in-depth. You can maintain existing friendships over there. But this format let's you ...

Yep, that old thread was something. Good times.

Looks like we might make it out this year and get dusty. Been a while.

And thanks for the compliments. It's been both exciting and tiring to grow the business. We feel very fortunate.

Elliot! Thanks for the pic.

And for the Whiskey in the rafters, ygmir!

And Fishy, I missy you. Good to see you here.

Hi Simon!

Hi other people I've not met yet... or maybe I have and then forgot... 'cause I forget things sometimes.

Hot damn... there's some good eatin' on a cricket that size.

(Jumps down from the rafters)

*plop*

Hiya Bar. Long time, no see. Place looks good. Properly dusty.

(claps paws and and a fire roars to life in the fireplace)

Now for something to drink...

(hears crickets chirping... stops, looks, begins chasing crickets)

I've used several of the Bourbon smoked spices and salts. Goggle "Bourbon Barrel Foods" and you'll find it online plus loads more.

(heads to rafter to check on that whiskey from BVB and Ygmir)

The cat dragged in cookies!!

(sets a plate of fresh-from-the-oven Chocolate Chip cookies on the bartop)

*plop*

(dropping down from the rafters)

**stretch**

Hi Bar... long time no drop by. Good to see the fire's still going.

(sets a bag of roasted coffee on the bar... digs around for a snack)

Goodbye, Spoon...

Thanks for being my friend.

Goodbye Bin Noddin. Thank you for leaving me better than you found me.

*plop*

Hi Bar. Just passin' through for a moment...

You're a pretty swell guy, Simon. I'm glad I know you. You make the world a little bit better every day.

Ok, Contraption update: I missed the deadline for the Mutant Vehicle registration. I knew it was coming and I knew the deadline but I want to make some mods to the machine that will involve more time than can be dedicated between now and the end of August. So rather than risk knocking someone else o...

Thanks Colonel... I'm not giving up so much as just focusing attention on other things at the moment. I was really jazzed about it and then the tickets sold out in 0.005 seconds and I admit that after that I lost my zeal. There are some ideas in motion that might work out though. Not giving up just ...

Those Cree's are still shining bright. Now that it's warming up again, it's time to turn the engine over for a bit, then just sit and watch it run.

Hey thanks! We did not get tickets when sales opened up, in fact it appears we never even stood a chance. So we're just sort of waiting to see what happens at this point. Not pushing one way or the other. And besides... around here it's all about Derby and having things done before everyone's big pa...

(Hops down from the rafters onto the bartop)

*plop*

Howdy Bar...

No tickets here either, but there's still time. Bummed that they went so quickly. Wow.

I'm pouring rum if anybody wants to join...

Ha ha!!

So far bringing the Ol' Rust Bucket is the plan.

And yet somehow, I get the feeling that you will give me hell either way.

So far things look promising. We're waiting for ticket sales to open up.
