One Item for BMan 2013 a Day

My John is out side now

Does your Husbank know about this?

It's some sort of Back to the Land plumbing experiment.

Speaking of piles of BS,

This pile looks like my whole bedroom right now! BS every where. I know I should start putting it all in bins, but then that would require inventory lists and I am just not ready for level of commitment yet.

Dead battery discovered as I tried to leave to pick up some precut and taped hexayurt panels from craigslist. New battery acquired, then 20 mile journey with trailer to go get the hexayurt. Was not as described...panels were not R-Max but were R-Tech...the dreaded, fragile styrofoam version. Disappointment was had, followed by fuck-it-all, followed by a $400 shopping spree to multiple Home Despots to get 2" and 1.5" polyiso panels. Panels safely sandwiched and in the driveway ready for assembly.

One step forward, two steps back....

Organized my LED light strings and was a little horrified to find just how *many* I had accumulated. Yowza. My excuse is that they are so cheaply made that i need backups. To offset my carbon footprint I did hit a thrift store and got some cool duds. That counts, right?

[Ratty]

ohCarie, I know just what you mean about those light strings. Every year they come out with new/better ones. And they go on sale. Something that never used to happen. I'm bringing some with new batteries for gifts to darkwads. If I had gotten rid of all the dead weight last year it would be a lot easier to sort and pack this year.

Mang.... that flight suuuuucked!

Making my Costco run today. Hope I can remember everything I wrote on the list I lost

Finalized my patch order.

Have I just, thereby, committed myself to 2014?

2014 is the one NOT to miss..

Knocked a bunch of little stuff off today as I'm due at work shortly (mostly vehicle related):

Brought the car to shop for estimate the fellow was kind enough to tighten up the damaged door panel which was a concern going cross country. My minor damage amounts to $2222 but I'm only paying the deductible (for now that is ..... it remains to be seen what happens to the premium)

Triple secured broken mirror with Gorilla tape (fingers crossed)

Topped off windshield washer fluid

Tore the car apart looking for registration. In the process I cleaned up. I found $4.56, my BM ticket (which I had cleverly hidden and subsequently forgotten about ) but no registration.

Ordered replacement registration (allow two weeks but may come in a week - I'm leaving Tuesday - if it comes be Wednesday I left instruction to send it on to my daughter in Denver where I will pick up on Friday).

Put spare car key in my toiletry bag which will come in with me when I stop for lodging.

Cut 10' length of PVC in half to replace missing MH piece (and a spare).

Taste-tested my un-refrigerated M&G treat which has been sitting for the same time it will take me between making and the M&G - I haven't keeled over yet (which leads one to wonder what exactly is in bacon that it doesn't spoil after cooking and storing properly)

That's all I got.

I will make more headway tomorrow since I'm off.

[VultureChow]

Got my drivers license renewed.

Waited on line outside for about 15 minutes before they opened. Then in and out in 10 minutes. Best trip ever and I told all the employees there. The were so happy. I'm guessing they don't get thanked that often.

[tamarakay]

Aaaaaaaaaaacccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Pack pack pack

[geospyder]

Based on my list I have everything! Just need to pack it

Hell, that looks like most of my house right now.

Yuppp!! Looks about the same here.

I got almost everything I needed besides clothes into one case... and THEN decided to measure it to make sure it fit within the 62 linear inches maximum required by United. Blasted thing came to more once the handle bumps, protruding feet and wheels were counted in, even tho the case itself was a safe 62.

Called United and waited for about 30 minutes while the wonderful person on the other end made absolutely CERTAIN that it was indeed the case itself that was counted, and not the wheels, etc.

Still a bit of a gamble in my mind, but now at least it's contestable.

water pump in camper wouldnt work , it pumps water from 20 gal tank to sink . Took it out and dissembled it , just the motor works fine . Hooked the pump back up to it and it started working
Will install in morning when cooler out.

So my sweet boyfriend went to the hardware store today to look for parts for installing rear racks on bicycles, and of course he found the P-clamps. He bought some of those and quite a few other things. I brought my cruiser over to his house with the intention of going to the bike church to get some help and extenders. We started mucking around with the clamps and all the racks he had to see which one would be best for me to take and try to get installed, and lo and behold, he has a rack that fits the cruiser PERFECTLY without p-clamps or extenders! I can't believe it. It's all installed and now I get to work on my decorations and lights! YAY!

I found my lost work gloves in a paper bag with my fishing line that I use to sew EL wire onto clothing. That was a score. Now I have two nice pairs of leather work gloves.

Cut my shiny bubblewrap to fit the van. 2 feet by 25 feet fit exactly. EXCEPT the front window on these new vans.....They are so tall. It also makes the dashboard so huge. You can't reach anything or clean the dash. Weird designing.

[Savannah]

Shiiiiiney bubblewraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap.

My truck got new oil and filter and spark plugs. Mechanic said I'm good to go on my little road trip.

LOL Savannah!

[Captain Goddammit]

Today Is the day I put the 4000 pound camper on the truck and load the 5000 pound Land Yacht on the trailer and start packing everything in. After work.
I hope all this shit works and my old GMC gets it over all the mountains.

[Ratty]

Oh no you don't Savannah....

[JayBobBoy]

Just cooked up 3lbs of bacon for my camp. My house is gonna smell great for a while!

This weekend is my trailer weekend as well. Goddammit, I'm in the same spot as you. I'm going to be very relieved when I get over the summit into Reno with my rig. Today the truck is getting a check-up/oil change, then its onto the trailer safety check.

On schedule...I love it!

[Canoe]

Waiting for the tow truck to arrive to get the car to where I'm changing in a new flex-plate...
(and starter, two ball joints, trans oil cooler, new carb, ...) or should this be in the procrastinator's thread.

[Savannah]

I'm in a thrift store, buying ALL THE THINGS!!!!1!one1!!

[theCryptofishist]

Buy one for me.

[theCryptofishist]

please

[geospyder]

Just picked up two small battery operated candles. I'll place them on the ends of the bike rack at night so hopefully people won't walk into it in the dark - mainly me since others shouldn't be in that area anyway.

Costco has bacon jerky.... BACON JERKY!!!
