Re: The 2025 Burning Man Bar is open

[ygmir]

awe thanks gang! nice someone cares!
I seem to not have gotten too bad as far as lungs goes, but it seems to be kicking me in the liver and kidneys, along with stomach. heading to the doc Wed. if I test neg. by then...

Please take care. I am likely sounding like a duck, but I Just read a couple studies… And would not take any acetaminophen if I were you. Ask your doc.

interesting. I didn't know of this, and now do, thanks! I did take acetaminophen, but not a lot. So, I guess I'll see what happens...

So how are you ^^ doing?
Hope you’re feeling better

[ygmir]

HI Lucky!
well thanks, feeling better, but seemingly not "up to snuff" yet. fatigue seems to be the lingering effect I'm having. So, pretty good, really. Thanks for asking.
Are you going to TTITD this year?

Yes, I’m going this year. Dye is going and we will be next to piney in the 404 Village Not Found. I’m glad you’re on the mend. This latest variant seems to keep people down/fatigued longer this go round.
Give Sam a hug/hello from me

*wanders in, starts ECM*
Lucky: glad you're getting to go. I hope you all have a grand time!
I won't be making those high speed dust trails outside the trash fence, but will be in spirit.
I'll be interested to hear how it is. So many variables, not the least of which, all the pent up engergy from folks missing the last couple of years.
I'm heading for the Hof today, first time in the last 6 weeks...ugh, been a tough summer...
*pushes tv clicker, heads for ROS*

[Elorrum]

yay! Hof! I’ve got ice in the freezer, a can of beans, and a loaf of bread in the oven. Im thinking of checking out the meteor shower on playa tonight. Drive late this afternoon, and leave early tomorrow, in order perhaps to skip a day-one heat headache.

Marty and his grandson are out there now, I can find out where if you want.

thanks. I didn’t go. I think the playa is beautiful in early October.

I didn't realize you were sick, Ygmir!

How are you faring today?

HI Savannah.
thanks for caring and asking! I'm pretty much over the crud, still get fatigued easier than before, but that might also be partly the summer heat...
Went up to the Hof Sunday, for the day......I've not spent much time there this summer, what with medical issues and such. So nice up there, though. and the thermal mass of the structure (50 ish tons of concrete, granite and steel) works so good to moderate temp swings inside, it stays cool during the day, and is just warming as evening hits. I hope you can come visit sometime!

[AntiM]

I was dreaming about eplayans past, but not the fun ones. Geez, thanks brain.

[mgb327]

Do not say his name 3 times....

[Strata]

I haven't seen anything about a meet-n-greet this year. Any news? Have enjoyed meeting y'all in past years (I bring the dolmas)...

[ygmir]

*rides in on War Rabbit*
*freshens cheeze doodles in stall, saucer of whiskey in rafters, starts ECM*
Looks sorta deserted in here. I guess it's prep time and no ones drinking? huh?
I hope the event goes off smoothly and the weather is what is best.. Best being subjective, some loving the random and paralysis that ensues, some love white outs, some love freezing temps, and some love mid 70's with a gentle breeze... all are possible.
I'll be watching from "camp envy"...

Morning, ygmir. “show me the way to the next whiskey bar.” I helped some Texans unload their storage and pack a truck and repack their storage yesterday. One stayed in her car the whole time. Cheapened the idea of “helping” for me. Seemed we touched everything twice and it was all still overfull, the storage unit, and the truck. Graidawg drove by me at the storage, within 6 ft, he didn’t look or slow, it made me so sad. Burning man becoming like a frustrating repeated dream where things don’t go right. What to make of a diminished thing?

I’m thinking about the Renegade burn. It realistically could be even worse than the main shiny rv going’s on. Further from help and maybe more unprepared idiots drying up in the desert. Camping in cleaner better weather doesn’t sound that bad some days.

[ygmir]

well, here's my 30,000 th post. egad, how did that happen? It's been a fun ride here on eplaya. made, and lost, some friends. learned and hopefully helped some people. Hope to have given a few laughs and smiles, maybe some useful info and help.

wow..yeah, foogin humans. Some are a waste of good air, and you've mentioned a few.... the renegade would be a crap shoot, but maybe worth the risk......that, and well, you can always go home if it's just not your thing....

ygmir, Good milestone. I found phil‘s webpage the other day, The Civilized Explorer. He had a cool annual report of his burn too, and many good stories. Man, the links! From an informative page to endless informative pages. Shelter, many many ideas and theories. Now we read: lag screws, impact driver, kodiak, shift pod, rv. Hours I spent reading about Burning Man that I now spend streaming video… hmmm. I am officially a grumpy fart now. I thought I was still young when I started. I heard the crickets when Strata asked about a meet and greet. If I was going I’d hope for one again. It’s interesting to note changes. I don’t expect it won’t change even more.

Good info doesn’t lose value though. I laughed today when I read somebody’s burn instructions on how to wash hands or dishes in a basin, of pouring water from a pitcher “to simulate a running tap.”

[FIGJAM]

Congrats on the milestone Ygmir!!!

Your contribution to content and keeping things lively keeps me coming back everyday.

Continue on continuing on. (I didn't want to say keep again) :D

[Token]

Keep on keeping on!



Although Joy Division made it sound much better …

Hi Gang.
Thanks FJ!! you are a treat, yourself. so many good hacks, and wisdom.
Hi Token! Thanks. I've really come to appreciate you and your posts.
Checked in on Camp Envy live stream a few mins. ago. all seems quiet on the Western Front.

Howdy y'all.

Hi yggy.

Hope all of youse that's going to the burn have a real good time. Wish I was going too.

Miss you all.

[Elorrum]

I’m thinking of early afternoon chilled coffee, hey bar friends. Baby birds on the highway, at the airport. Someone is selling “builder wristbands” as guaranteed playa access. The suckers who read nothing and prepared nothing are getting fleeced in Reno. I’ve never been as aware to this, though I guess it’s as old as the hills.

Live-streaming web cam from main site. Someone on YouTube is selling the free feed for $60. Looks like a clear day today, looking forward to seeing the lights tonight. Camp envy is clean.

[ygmir]

Hi BB!! good to see ya dropping in! How's things in Kentuc....
I had a report of a heavy rain cell near Fallon, heading north. Might be a surprise sprinkle....
yeah, getting fleeced. Do I detect some Schadenfreude?
fooging heat wave coming, I'm heading for the Hof, shoud be some cooler at 5800'... I hope.

[Elorrum]

No. I feel bad for people who are truly disadvantaged to the degree they cannot be prepared, or for the hard lessons that could have been avoided. I am angry that there is an intentional industry to take advantage of them. I’m saddened that the expectation of just showing up and being taken care of exists.

[FIGJAM]

Well, today is my 70th birthday.

This occasion was marked by a dozen jumbo eggs that had 11 double yokers!!!

Hopefully this portends well for the coming year, as the yoke is my favorite part of the egg.

[Elorrum]

Happy Birthday, Figjam! A yolk bonanza must portend some sort of future bonus. Or oddly mutable conditions at the chicken ranch. Eh… stick with Yay!

[Patsh]

Happy Birthday to YOU, FIGJAM!! I remember 70... it wasn't too bad at all! Seems like years ago, though I'm just 71 now.
I hope you're well and happy! Have an eggcelent day!!

[ygmir]

Happy Birthday FJ!!!
sounds like "The yolks on you! ".....someone had to say it

[burner von braun]

Happy Birthday FIGJAM!!!
