The Bar 2019 Edition...

[AntiM]

That's going to be a beautiful project. I can feel it.

I am in the process of selling the rhoadescar to a friend, a black rock ranger I have known for a very long time. This guts me, I am not selling a four wheeled bike, I am selling memory and joy and Larry's sweat. It feels like I am planning a funeral. Damn.

[Elliot]

... Elliot: are you trying to talk yourself into, or, out of...

Most perceptive of you. I am trying to talk myself out of -- or, more accurately, since I posted the idea here... hoping to be talked out of -- this huge time-pit and budget-burden.

I know myself a little....
Two days after I start... I would be scrounging the whole county for MORE sail-boards.
Then I would buy 200 dish washing brushes on eBay, to become stamens. And so on.

And... to make paint stick to that plastic for a decade or two... I bet would take a high-falutin' primer that costs $900 per pint.

[ygmir]

Elliot:
yeah, I very much understand the dilemma. Well, best of luck on this project!
AntiM: dang, this process. ugh. One can only imagine the pain and angst this causes. I sure wish you the best in this, knowing MyLarry would have wanted it to be used and loved for years to come....dang it all!
((((((((AntiM))))))))))

[Savannah]

I'm sorry, AntiM.

I guess you can "cross" that off your list...

[FIGJAM]

I am having hard boiled eggs with tobacco for breakfast, but don't read anything into that.

[AntiM]

Back from Mexico. I am getting used to enjoying myself while being exceedingly sad. It is weird.

My drinking buddy in Loreto:

oh Jeexe AntiM! I wish I'd known you were in Loreto. I have friends who have a house there, long time Burners and love company! Well, glad you had fun, and yeah, that "mixed emotion" stuff....good on ya for moving forward though.

I was out at the Villa del Palmar resort. I'd have to take the shuttle to go see them, it is about half an hour away from the town. I think I will be returning after the new year, Jan or Feb. Would be great to meet new friends!

[Oldguy]

Figjam, I copied the Pillage Cartoon and sent it to myself to save. Hope you don't mind. I have not attended the last 3 years due to health issues. I take 7 pills daily. Left kidney went South, gout-ataxia-etc. Better now, blessings from Camp Envy...

[burner von braun]

Hi barfolk,

*pours shot of bourbon*

Hope everything is going well with everyone. Things are good here in the von braun burniverse. Planting trees and cutting grass..

Good luck and nimble mice to all those who will be registering for STEP tomorrow!

Cheers!

Hi All, It has been a long time since I stopped by. Know all about "pillage", up to my ears in pillage morning and evening. Been a tough year for health and now really feeling the 87 years I'm carrying around. My heart goes out to you AntiM, but you are so wise to move forward and travel and make new friends. Life goes on. I got a lot of smiles reading the previous 4 pages and seeing the names of so many of you I know and many who mean so much to me. 2015 was my last year on the Playa and I had kept journals of each of my 9 trips to BRC. Reading them and looking at the tons of pictures keeps those wonderful times alive in my life. Also get together with many of the great folks I've met at BRC who have become my very dear friends. Now that I have stopped by this evening, I'll start following and joining the Bar 2019 once again.

Cheers

Magic Marty

[Ratty]

Yay Marty. Great to hear from you. I think of you when I got to events in the City. (Even though it's always too loud to hear each other.) If you would like to see some BM art there is a preview coming up in SF on June 2nd. Desert Arts Preview. A toast....To old friends and the memories we haven't made yet. Cheers...

[ygmir]

*Rides in on War Rabbit*

Marty! so great to see you stopping in!
You are always missed around these parts. Your kind wisdom and sense of humor can't be matched.
To me, you've always been the epitome of a "Burner".....witty, smart, caring, but tough.
I'll not be back this year, either. Just too much life happening, is the easiest way to explain it.
*heads to ROS*

[Elliot]

Three cheers and a tiger for Magic Marty!

[AntiM]

Morning, Marty!

[magicmarty]

Ygmir, Ratty, Anti M, Elliot, a big Magic Marty hug for each of you. Fun being back in "Da Bar" Spent the weekend at a great tennis tournament at our club. Lots of great tennis, good eats and surrounded by a ton of friends. I don't go to the city much any more, but I'll try to get to Art on the Playa on June 2, Ratty. It will be good to see you. I've been threatening to get up to Grass Valley to see you Ygmir, and will do so for sure. Maybe when LF gets there.

Stay well everyone and drink a toast to life well lived

[Dr. Pyro]

Marty, on my way to Baltimore to see the Giants play the Orioles at Camden Yards next weekend. I'll do an honorary beer for you.

[magicmarty]

Hey Doc, I'll be there with you! Remember that game we all watched at Ygmir's place the night that the Giants clinched the pennant. Great game and great evening for sure!

[ygmir]

HI gang!
yeah Marty, that was a fun evening! ha, part of the entertainment was just watching you and Doc and your excitement as the game went on.
Sounds like you're having a fun road trip, Doc! good on ya!
