The Bar, Volume #4

[delle]

Ouch. That's one of those epic domino moments you just can't make up.

Hope today's a much better day for you!!!

[MyDearFriend]

Oh (((Trilo))), that's the kind of domestic-disaster-at-the-last-minute that's caused by mad scrambling and make the mad scramble ten times worse, gosh. So sorry!

I hope your fish can get settled into a safe new home before you have to leave them, wow.

Okay: for me, I have to work now.

[Patsh]

Wow, Trilo! What a way to start a day!!
Hopefully, all the difficult challenges are now out of the way, and everything will fall together for the rest of your prep.

Best of luck for a smooth 'finishing up~loading up~driving up' and we'll see you soon!


(((((Trilo))))) (((((Pandorra)))))

[Elorrum]

yeah, wow, Trilo. Sounds scary, glad you have a solution and things have stopped falling for a spell. Please take care as you go now.
MDf, sorry you have to work today. coffee, and good daydreams if you have the time.
breakfast on the run.

[ygmir]

*wanders in, makes CCC*
yeah, back on coffee.........gotta get the big buzz going!!

Dang Trilo!! Are we related? I'm so glad to hear no deaths on permanent injury ensued.
not to make light......but, I'd love to see the security vid of those moments.............

dang, go so excited yesterday, forgot the cartoons! WTF???

*sets festive drinks on bar*


well, final load up, switching to internal power on Frankencamper......prepping for departure for the duration tonight midnightish.

If anyone needs anything, ping me today to see if I can get it and bring it out. I'm just hoping I remember all the stuff I'm supposed to bring.........if I've promised, ping me if you wonder if I forgot......dang me.

*strokes tv, heads for ROS*

this one reminds me of a couple of eplayans............

Um. Yeah...

[Captain Goddammit]

we were able to scramble up some makeshift digs, and our finny little friends are in a 5 gallon bucket with most of their plants and working air/water to get them through til we sort a new place for them.

So your fish are camping out in a crude makeshift shelter... sounds pretty close to what we're all about to do!

[Bin Noddin]

Anything to slow some of these idiots down I suppose. Now, on to something way more serious. I know that Oasis 29 will be selling Indian tacos the Saturday before the gates open. Will there be NDNtacos sold at the Nixon school? Or does anyone have a better recommendation? I did Oasis 29 coming in last year and they were sub par. The Nixon school folks tacos on the way out were superior in every respect except for the price. But one year a little mom & pop was selling them on the right hand side of 447 and they were great. Haven't seen them since 2009. Any recommendations for Indian tacos?

On the way in and on the way out, Pizzamancer and I stopped at the first stand off I-80 when you get into Wadsworth (coming from the direction of Reno), before turning on 447. Nice people, yummy tacos. Hope they're still there.

Fortunately it's made of hard stuff

Your noggin or the monitor? Just wondering.

[Elliot]

Puh, puh.... Loading is underway. I will be wishing for help to unload this junkyard Wednesday afternoon.
Bicycles must be made of lead. Certainly the Huffys.
Snapshot shows Millicent about half loaded -- all the scaffolding and 20 of the bicycles. Rugs separate layers of bikes so they don't get too hopelessly tangled.



Back to work!

[trilobyte]

That's one helluva pack there, Elliot! Bin Noddin....BOTH! Yggy, I think we're probably related in another dimension.... thanks everyone for the kind words. Fish made it through the night, and despite loads of work and mess to deal with, we're doing okay. Off to our final camp meeting, then back to work! Have a great day!

[^Rhino!]

Did you know that Oasis 29 was NAMED by burners on the way out of BRC in '09?

The guy was with the HeeBeeJeeBee Healers who came up with it, and a bunch of us agreed while we ate our tacos at 10 p.m. I gifted the lady behind the counter with a t-shirt from the BRC Division of Geology that year. Dr. Pyro, I'm sort of surprised you said they were sub-par last year. They were great for me.

[Simon of the Playa]

Wow, just read about Trilo's Exciting Evening.


I guess sitting on a bus for 13 hours going in the opposite direction of reno isnt so bad.


Nothing ever goes as planned, you can plan on it.

[Dr. Pyro]

Dr. Pyro, I'm sort of surprised you said they were sub-par last year. They were great for me.

Well, Indian tacos are something like sex I suppose: Even sub-par NDNtacos are pretty good. It's just that they needed more flavor and choices of seasonings whereas the Nixon school were better. Don't get me wrong: If there are no other stands open on Saturday before Oasis 29 I will be glad and willing to give them my business. They are an order of magnatude better that what you'll find in, oh, say Empire or Gerlach.

[Elorrum]

The first year I saw the signs that said NDN tacos, I thought it was letters, like YMCA, and I was puzzling what the N d and N stood for. I knew I wanted to stop for Indian Tacos, since I enjoyed fry bread when I visited the 4 corners area. I wondered who I was supporting with my purchase. DOH!

[Aurelia]

I am repacking the bins which go with all of us
but in the process I find that I didnt want to let go of the many items that come along from the playa each year
the photos the survival guides the early sanctuary notations ..okay some of the things are already pruned away; but tomorrow I am going to the container store to find the right container.

[winebuff]

Hi everyone, just wanted to pop in for a quick second and tell everyone safe travels and see you soon on the playa. Trilo, sounds like you can use some time away from reality. Hope everything goes better for you in the next days before heading out. Elliott, crazy. That's awesome though with all the smiles you will bring. I packed yesterday all day and my trailer and truck are loaded beyond belief. Today laid low with a small fever and aches. Not good to be sick out there. Doc and MDF, see u Sat! Really excited to see everyone *kiss kiss*

I found a lot of stickers in with the WWW guides, and old survival handbooks. I just decided it's time to put the stickers on things. Trying to cut back on the souvenirs in shoe boxes if I can help it.

That's funny! I thought the very same thing today, looking at the stickers, and had second thoughts about putting them on my huge insulated cup... they'd get ruined when I wash it, or I'd have to wash just the inside.
The stickers ended up back in the box..............................

[ygmir]

ok gang........well, leaving about 11 pm, so hoping for a nap..........seeyall on the playa!!
Safe travels, everyone!!

Yggy

[Captain Goddammit]

I can't believe it but I'm really getting close to being ready! Well, at least ready enough to scrape by.
Winebuff, you have to check out the full-on Glamper treatment my camper is nearly done getting! It's all your fault.

[winebuff]

I want to see it! Pics pls.....
I decorated mine a bit today, even has a Barbie on it but need more things coming off the top. Time is running out

Wistful it is to watch all this thrilling preparation - for someone who is staying behind again.
Stay calm, the Man will burn and I am sure you will all have a great time.

I am planning to come back home next year. Yay!

[Aurelia]

You are indeed a Healthy one UD !
When I glitched with my irritation at dickwad I found myself unable to be until I restarted
if you find a way to join at all come to my house for dinner
xoA.

[Ugly Dougly]

That's not likely this year. I'm not one to jump in with just my underwear on - so to speak, Aserendipity.
But I appreciate the sentiment.
On a plus note, I am already putting together my theme camp for 2014! Then, perhaps, I will enjoy a dinner with you?

[Aurelia]

hmm, even got some extra packages of underwear for you somewhere.
and dinner yea,
are you a carnivore ?
xoA.

[littleflower]

Dougly, i miss seeing you out there! you don't have to host a theme camp every time you go, you know ......

can't wait to see everyone! one week from now i will be in the man pavilion, watching it .........

((((((marty))))))

[MyDearFriend]

One week from now... Thank you for that lovely thought, (((LF))) !!!

Now I need

Haven't had more that 4 hours sleep at a time for weeks, but, I am finally almost ready!

Motskyroonmatick's "All the Things" photo might be even more astonishing . . . and I mean to document it.
