Last year your usual spot was a placed camp. I'll find you.Still not decided where we'll be camped, though it'll likely be one of 2 usual spots.

We pulled out the pair of 15 x 20 Aluminet tarps and tied them together on the 20 foot side, giving us a 30 x 20 foot shade layer for the monkey hut (at half the cost of a single huge piece). Then we threaded paracord all along the outer edges for bungee cording to the frame.

Also finished soldering up my neopixels and programming the board for my blinky hat. Next step is to assemble the hat and solder the wires in.

Re: 2018 One item a day for BM list
Yay. Heater and air conditioner fixed in my van. It broke because of excessive dust in the blower motor. How did that happen?
Sewing like crazy to fix shade structure decor. Next up....Playa laundry. I can't be the only one that unpacks a bin of playa.

Re: 2018 One item a day for BM list
Today I dragged out a couple of boxes and inventoried, sorted, packed, and checked (and replaced) batteries. I'm now covered in dust



Re: 2018 One item a day for BM list
New tube and tire on the back of my bike. (I did the front one last year.) Making cloth bags that say what's in them. Bungee balls, cloth side panel and front screens, decorative panels and tablecloths, etc...Finished a few sewing projects.

Re: 2018 One item a day for BM list
I just fixed my van AC for the third time. First it was a blower motor, then a leak, then another leak. I’m over it!! Someone told me old cars and AC don’t go together!
And no, you aren’t the only one unpacking bins of playa. Big Hugs Ratty. It’s been a while!

Re: 2018 One item a day for BM list
On Sunday, we set up the new bike stand and overhauled both the bikes. All the tires needed air, my bike needed a lot of tweaking of the rear brakes after someone crashed into it last year and bent my rear wheel a little. Not enough that I have to replace it, but enough so that getting a good brake adjust is tricky.
The handlebars were slipping on my partner's bike. We cranked down the clamp as tight as it would go, and that didn't fix it. So we loosend up the clamp and tucked a little bit of silicone rubber film in there with a dental tool. Then we retightened the clamp, and this time the handlebars stay put. I have some silicone rubber scraps in my toolbox in case it doesn't stay fixed.
And tonight I put batteries in all the light controllers and checked the elwire on the bikes. Everything lights! Yay!

Re: 2018 One item a day for BM list
I have the clothes bins mostly packed. Waiting for a few items to make it through the laundry or be delivered. Then it is just the exodus/go home bag, and the hanging items. I might even finish sewing a few things.

Re: 2018 One item a day for BM list
Everyday following the notes in last years playa journal. I sewed some pockets to the interior of my backpack. Once I get it packed correctly, I'll write on each pocket with a sharpie. I can't find a darn thing in a pack.

Re: 2018 One item a day for BM list
Opened up the pop-up camper. Great playa smell, wasn't dirty, just been stored for a while. Started to clean it and install a few upgrades. Started on the trike hub-drive project, got the wheel mounted and starting on wiring. Shit's getting real around here. All you West Coast peeps got it easy, I have to drive 3,000 miles just to get there. Just sayin'. Late start to the butterflies in the gut this year, but it is in full freakout mode now.

Re: 2018 One item a day for BM list
Yep, the butterflies are starting to come home to roost here too. Currently tuning and prepping the truck for the long drive out.
Pulled the majority of my bins and boxes down off the big, dedicated Burning Man shelves the other day. Shelter shakedown is next, though I'm hoping to keep that as is unless it needs repairs.
Trying to block out time for building new art in the meantime. Been gathering parts and materials for that as well.
..and Woohoo! Bri-Bot 3000 looks great!

Re: 2018 One item a day for BM list
Getting all the little stuff. Med kit restocking, new ear plugs, skin and body care stuff, bike lights, bike decoration, new bike basket, making food shopping list, planning camp meal, sewing some final costume stuff.
When exactly am I supposed to actually find time to do my job? I mean seriously, how inconvenient! It doesn't help that I work from home, so its really easy to get distracted by the "just another quick thing" trick.

Re: 2018 One item a day for BM list
Grocery shopping is always fun. New elastic on some goggles, plus glued on fur to keep the dust out of the vents. Made t-shirts into tie downs for a small tarp I use on the front of the shade structure. Put in the grommets too. Decorated 2 pair sunglasses. Now I'm stocking my backpack.

Sewed my canvas floor into the correct size/shape.
Added a silver panel down the sides of a slightly too small thrift store light jacket.
