The Bar 2017 Edition

[Aurelia]

Whew!
Savannah, A bit of humor is very welcome

[ygmir]

I'm glad to see Elliot and Ygmir are holding up well in the madness.

My basement sucks and it can fuck off!

Your basement knows what it did . . .

Norsemen are survivors.

Hey there BVB!! good to seeya! how's things in the East?
it's wet here........

[burner von braun]

Hi yg! The weather here seems unusual. I haven't heard anything official, but it seems to me like we're having the warmest February I can recall. Heck, right now it's 79° out, where usually we'd be happy to break 40° on a warm day, and more often it's in the 30's or less. Today's temp is the exception beyond the exception though. At this point I am beginning to wonder if these extremes will carry over into summer. Time will tell.

I hope you folks out west will soon be able to dry out a bit. Perhaps this effectively puts an end to your drought.

A belated thanks Elorrum for your photos of the playa.

..and congratulations on the big move Trilo!


*hears bird horn squawk*

Yabba Dabba Dooo!!!... quittin' time here.. drinks all around!

[Elliot]

go Elliot!! you have a great camp, of course more people want to be there!!
...

Thanks! At the same time... don't be surprised if we spin off a "branch office" or "satellite shop" to make bicycle repair available in an under-served neighborhood. We have people who are eminently capable of running their own camp, and I would encourage that. Heck, I did a 25-head Theme Camp in only my second year. It would be cool to see some of our recruits "graduate" that way now.

Hey I need some

DGS ticket sale opens Wednesday. So afraid I will forget, though, I took the day off work just to be home for that. Doc Pyro will remind me, right? Right???



Maybe.

[Dr. Pyro]

Consider yourself reminded. Sheesh.

[MyDearFriend]

Consider yourself reminded. Sheesh.

Okay but I will still set an alarm tonight before I go to bed in case I oversleep.

Greetings, friends.

Pull up a chair, while papa Rhino tells you everything that's been going on.

Yep, I'm settled in now as a PhD student. Took 3 hours in the fall to square things away, and I'm taking a full graduate level load of coursework to settle in. Research they grade as "S" or "U" (satisfactory or unsatisfactory). In the fall, I took 3 hours of Research, while I TRIED to explain to my advisor the focus of the dissertation. It's multidisciplinary, multilocation, and involves elements of soil science, geology, fluid physics, and geochemistry. Task 1. Map the Sangamonian interglacial surface between two loess deposits (windblown DUST). Big potential payoffs of landslide prediction. Task 2. geochemical analysis and interpretations of Black Rock playa DUST. The potential payoffs are unknown, other than a new model of dust deposition. Task 3 may involve an active volcano, so we'll wait until later to tell you about it.

I'm OK for now, but I miss you guys. See you an three years.

^Rhino!

Hey, Rhino!
Sounds like quite a schedule you have set for yourself.
Landslide prediction would be valuable indeed.
Please try to find time for checking in here once in a long while.

Merry X-mas everybody

BMIR is doing the 2016 repeat they told they would during the 2016 festive days.

The music may be not to every-ones taste,
the PSAs, DJs and interviews give a dusty audio snapshot of the event.

Snowed again in the N. Nevada desert. Damn.
