Seems to be some other virgins here but this is the greeters station anyway trying to start some conversations with others to feel this thing out ,,,,,trying to get an early start maybe make some connections before I head out
riding my Harley so there's that dynamic,,,but certainly not all I'm about I am a gear head tho ,love mechanicals and make my living as a toolmaker(G.M.(for 40 yrs now ,,,,good at construction,,,and lots of other things
Is honey a good thing to bring for gifting?I keep bees and will probably have a bunch of it by then????

Hola and hello...

Good luck with tickets today. There's a few mechanical type threads around here. Stick around and join in or lurk if you prefer.

Thanks for the comeback lucky,I hope you aren't saying that with a defeatist tone .
I think I've got all my ducks in a row and poised on the mouse ready to pounce
but got no idea what to expect
Sounds like an iffy proposition at best???

Haha no I meant that sincerely. It sells out really fast though but don't despair there are other sales (step, omg) later in the year too. :coffee:

Hey there, welcome to eplaya!

Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

Greetings from another 2016 newbie...also from MI...also riding my motorcycle out to the playa. We apparently *need* to run into each other at some point. :D I'm excited for the cross-country trip, almost as much as I am actually getting out into the dust. It's been a crazy adventure so far, getting gear together, finding a camp, figuring out transporting everything to the playa, thinking about food, etc... My heads probably in the clouds about this whole thing more often than I'd like. Much to get done. By my calculations, my bike leaves Michigan in 111 days. Woot!
