The Bar 2016 Edition

[Elliot]

... ...that's one of those moments it would have been great to capture on video.
...

Indeed. That reminds me of... some years ago one of our drivers at the trucking company "managed" to tip over a truck -- loaded with beer, no less -- in a city intersection. Guess what... it was caught on a nearby security camera. Absolutely amazing.

We are busy in the new refinement of details for updated power system, as you may remembering "Power to the Playa" thread some years ago.
we have newly managers, previous controller has left for Romania, perhaps never to returning!! we rejoiced!

Hiya Kvon, hiya Piney! Good to see you guys around these parts.

Last night it was time to make the gyros with the meat I'd been working on. I was combining several different recipes together to create my own, on something I'd never actually made before, what could possibly go wrong?! In this case, nothing... those suckers were delicious! I managed to get a great balance out of all the spices and the texture of the meat was spot on. Not too shabby for a first time dish and for a first time on the sous vide machine.

And the 3D printer project turned out alright, too. Woohoo all round...Happy Friday!

[ygmir]

well done Trilo! well done!! yay for cooking with science!

[Aurelia]

MY DEAR FRIEND !
Happy Birthday

xoA.

[AntiM]

Howdy, good morning, hey and hiya.

[ygmir]

*rides in on War Rabbit™, sets cheeze doodles in DA Mules stall, lets WR™ out to hunt breakfast*

Hi AntiM! how ya feelin?

[Aurelia]

Good Morning Dear Bar

AntiM and Yggy are here.. Hurray
definitely a good way to start the day

xoA.

[ygmir]

Hi ASD!!! raining there?

[magicmarty]

Morning YG ASD AntiM and Happy Birthday ((((MDF)))) Treats MDF to a virtual massage. Dives into the NEB on that lovely new comfy bed for a snuggle or two on drizzly morning here in the Bay Area. Taking the "wife unit" (what an interesting term ----- thanks Skuzzy) out to west Marin to check out the salmon spawning in Lagunitas Creek. Saw some yesterday and want her to see them as well. In its own way a very dramatic living metaphor for all of life on the planet. The inexorable imperative in all creatures to replicate the inevitable cycle of life. For the salmon, the last chapter, for humans often times one of the first and the most fun.

L'Chaim!

(((LLF)))

[lucky420]

"Wife unit" reminds me of "Stepford Wife"

Different strokes and all that...

Good Morning Bar! Lovely to see everyone this morning

[magicmarty]

"She who must be obeyed"

[Ratty]

Morning everybody. It's good to see you up and about AntiM. I've had my coffee so I'll just pop out and finish my errands. Keep the fire stoked it's chilly today. Hey. Let's have chilli today.

[FIGJAM]

New Years resolutions are cursed!!!

I innocently "resolved not to dissolve", and now the skin on the palms of my hands and soles of my feet is sluffing off.

My arms are covered with hard, rough lumps.

And my back has red blotches all over it.

So if I dissolve completely before we meet again.............All the worlds a stage and we but mere players.

Hope to see you all in the sequel!!!

[Aurelia]

Once again I find Lucky to have the same response to Skuzzy as slussy as I did
but Marty is different and lovinger

Sure hope you are kidding Figgy
if real then it could be...

Great day all !

My camp from playa wants to have a reunion in 2 weeks in Death Valley campground
they are coming from everywhere to get there
hmm, I guess

xoA.

[burner von braun]

Good to see you here in the bar Piney!

..and Happy Birthday MyDearFriend!

Yikes Figjam, I hope you get that sorted out soon.


Getting ready for our first major cold snap here, beginning next week. Predictions are for single digits overnight at some point mid-week. Brrrr..

[MyDearFriend]

Thanks for the birthday greetings!

Great to see you back (((((((Piney)))))))))

Great news: International Incident says she'll be back at Barbie Death Village this year!!!

Figgy, did you call poison control? Sounds miserable. I recommend an oatmeal bath, or at least an oatmeal stocking for your back, yikes. PM me for directions if you need em.

Trilo, congrats on everything coming out great.

*stretches out on the IBBOD for MM's virtual massage*

[lucky420]

Oh geez figjam I thought you were joking us. Hope your better soon

[Elorrum]

I feel like the virtuous ant: lots of turkey soup in the freezer. I get home, turn on the heat, plop a frozen soup in the pot, and dinner is soon. Tonight I threw a few potstickers in as well.

Great to see some old friends again here.
