I don't Know. I was playing catchup with bills and then the truck. I will make it I think. Wonder how I am going to fit it in the truck.

Got any recomendations on sunscreen?

robbidobbs · Post by **robbidobbs** » Wed Aug 02, 2006 11:05 pm

Same way you get a giraffe into a refrigerator.

I think I'll haul my bike into the house, and stare at it for a while, until I get up the motivation to fix it.

Do people eat girraffes?

Good Luck On your bike. Edude and DDD seems to know a lot about them if you have questions.

Note to self: pick up spare bike tubes and do a quickie overhaul on bike...

JUst got off the torch.. 2 hours, three beads. Ouch. I'm out of practice.

I just posted the alusion on the stupid joke thread.
Just for you BB

Thanks. I just need to raise the handlebars and change out the seat. Otherwise it's ready to roll.

Bring lots, and find someone cute to apply it.

As far as specific brands are concerned, I've been using Coppertone Spectra3 for a couple of years now - UVA/UVB protection with zinc oxide in it, and it deflects and scatters the UV in addition to simply absorbing it like most brands. That's actually an SPF50. If you're not quite so fishbelly white as I am *grin*, they now also have a continuous-spray version of their regular suncreens in SPF15 and SPF30; my brother bought a bottle of this when we drove to LA last weekend, and LOVED it.

Very good Robbi. Made me laugh.

Xta_G · Post by **Xta_G** » Wed Aug 02, 2006 11:15 pm

Hi BB, Robbi...

Robbi, I was name-dropping you when talking about the Bar Camp with my hooping class yesterday.. one of my students has been a Ranger a few times, and knows you and Sputnik. No idea what her playa name is, but real name is Shelley, from Vancouver...

Y'all up to anything fun this eve?

Box Burner · Post by **Box Burner** » Wed Aug 02, 2006 11:20 pm

Thanks PK. I have not gone out much in the last year.

Hi X. Burning CDs and fighting the little beasties off. Trying to decide if I should drink a cold beer with a fever.

robbidobbs · Post by **robbidobbs** » Wed Aug 02, 2006 11:32 pm

Howdy X.
BB: I recommend Hawaiian Tropic. I get it in SPF 15, and repeat applications frequently. It has excellent moisterizing properties, and smells like coconuts. I also get a jug of No-Ad because it's cheap.

This evening's adventure has been finishing the playa-pants..basically pajama bottoms out of muslin. This will be my 3rd & final pair. They're pale pink. Damn, the pocket is too narrow. Back to the pick!

Hey Koosh! Didja confirm your travel plans?

I need to burn CDs.. prob is, my new/old machine doesn't have a burner... and my roomie's that DOES, is a Mac, so I can't just transfer files over. Guh.

Have beer if you like beer :)

X.

Xta_G · Post by **Xta_G** » Wed Aug 02, 2006 11:36 pm

Robbi, you inspire me.. I've been totally and utterly procrastinating on my playa sewing... and wondering to myself "if I just did jammy or wrap pants out of interesting fabric, and wore it with a bikini top, would people think I was lame?"... :)

So there may be the odd bit of silver something, or pink fur something, or bridesmaid dress something, but lots of jammy pants :)

AND, if I get around to it, a wonderful white gauzy flowing dress like I saw on a hot babe singing at the Folk Music Festival last month, woo!

If her MAC will play a standard cd and you are copying from regular CDs then there is no problem. The CD will come out ready to play on any cd player.

robbidobbs · Post by **robbidobbs** » Wed Aug 02, 2006 11:44 pm

jammy pants are the bomb.
And nuthin..l mean NUTHIN beats the SPF of cloth.

I'm planning on spending a lot of time on a bike, working all day, so I need something comfortable and rugged. I still need to make a stencil that says: "Thank you for giving a shit" and buy a pack of cheap white t-shirts to stencil. That's tomorrow's adventure I've decided.

Go with the bikini top and jammy pants, and get help with the sunscreen applications.

Whoo! Life is good.

I just finished the pants. Pockets...check. Length...check. Waistband feels like I'm wearing nuthin...check.

Coolness, I'm off to bed.
Goodnight!

Hey Gang, The suitcase is packed, wife and kids left 2 days ago. I fly out in the afternoon to one of the greatest places on earth.. Wallowa Lake in the Eagle Cap Wilderness... It's in Clarkson’s backyard... I'm off to place my Dad's ashes into the lake were my Mom's ashes were placed 3 years ago... I place some of his ashes last year in the Temple... To me, it's the only way I'd want to be after death. I don't want to take up any space when I'm gone. I’m looking forward to all of the family and grandkids gathering in this wonderful place... Some tears and lots of Laughs with be had by all... So, I'll be back Tuesday..

If I had a smaller chair, I would have fallen off it :)

(ps - Robbi, how do you make a waistband that feels like nothing?)

robbidobbs · Post by **robbidobbs** » Thu Aug 03, 2006 12:06 am

POOF

Loose 3/4" elastic waistband.

DD, that made me fucking guffaw.

I must step away from the computer...just turn it off...and walk away...
POOF

Good morning!

I got the crank off my bike and tonight will commence with replacing the bearings. The bike must be ready for the bus by the 19th!

X - can't say I know anyone from Vancouver, but who knows. Could be a case of mistaken identity.

Coffee time!
