Re: One Item for BM a Day
Regarding water pumps for showers or whatnot...I just bought this: http://www.goldmine-elec-products.com/p ... ber=G18959
Normally $30, on sale for $10 ending today! It can do 1.35 gallons per minute, and has a pressure switch to automatically pressurize to 60PSI. So you could connect this up to a faucet or spray nozzle, and the pump would automatically turn on when water is being used.
Also grabbed a handy power distribution and fuse board for my solar setup: http://www.goldmine-elec-products.com/p ... ber=G18931
That's for +12V, the ground sides are all connected to a standard copper bus bar.

I'm screwed because I don't have time to sire a firstborn. Unless there's a way to get something like a payday advance with proof of conception....

Re: One Item for BM a Day
I actually got 2 items for BM today. Thanks to Craigslist "Free Stuff" section, I scored 2 bikes for parts but one of them, A Huffy, looks pretty good. I'll probably rebuild that one for the wifey and part out her current one. I should have a pretty good stash of parts by the time BM 2013 rolls around. Hopefully I'll be able to help out some people by having just the right part to fix their bike.
The other item is a 190 CFM fan for my Figjam Bucket Cooler. Draws 1.6 amps at 12 volts. Man, this thing moves some air!

Bought new glasses. "Progressive."
Actually, I don't think I'll take these. I want a regular pair for driving.

Re: One Item for BM a Day
Aussies should have an Anzac Biscuit Camp or at least an event with them on playa. (This just reminded me that I still have a dozen biscuits left)
Today I washed my playa bedding and emptied my travel bags.

I bought 2 solar spot lights in the marked down xmas stuff at Walmart. 2 for $5. Sweet. I also made my new bunny ears from a stuffed animal. (I left the bunnie head on).
Those aren't buttermilk biscuits I'm lying on Savannah

Got my Walkman fm radio today so I can listen to the Brc broadcast while on the playa. Also bought 6 plastic bins to separate clothes, electronics, playa gifts etc. Bought gaffer tape to seal the airstream . Did I say I am already packing?

Nice boots, TattooGoddess.
