The Bar 2016 Edition

[FIGJAM]

I think I must have gone through some kind of polar shift during the night.

My feet smell and my nose is running!!!

[lucky420]

Hope you're feeling better figjam!

[Savannah]

Please set my friend ibdave and I up with a couple of sarsparillas. I wish he was still here with us to drink it with me...

*sends sarsparilla sliding down to BBD, sets one on the back booth for IBDave*
fuck.......just fuck. this is terrible.
((((((((BBD)))))))))))
Dave was such a great guy. smiles, jokes, witty. damn this.

*wipes tears, heads for Da Mules stall with War Rabbit™*

Cheers to ibdave, may he Rest In Peace.

I did not have the privilege of knowing him well, but I feel for all of you who did.

[Elorrum]

So sorry for those hurting over loss. *NEB set to super soothing*

Wow.

[Thecatman]

Late Mornin to All!
Holy shit! Couldn't believe what I saw this morning. Tulips and daffodils breaking ground. I know they're tough flowers but mid January is kinda early. Oh well?
Went to Peg's eggs for breakfast , Lowes for some cheap 2'x4' cdx plywood to bolt together with hog fence between each sheet. Hopefully reduces the dog from getting out.
Then grocery shopping.

Hi Bar!

[FIGJAM]

Low standards.

The folks who built the Pier and the ship and then Embrace... are at it again:

http://www.thespacewhale.com/

Wow!! That'll be absolutely stunning!
I wonder if they'll have a pier near it, as in the picture.

*wanders in, starts ECM, starts frying bacon and spam*
ETA: Happy Birthday, AntiM!

[AntiM]

Thank you!

I think the most exciting thing today is a visit from the home nurse. I might get to wash my hair, too. Whoot.

I did get a new laptop, that counts as my present. And a couple cute colostomy bag covers. My life is rich and exciting, neh?

[MyDearFriend]

Happy Birthday, ((((AntiM))))

Elorrum, I love this picture.

*Crawls into super-soothing NEB*

So sorry for those hurting over loss. *NEB set to super soothing*

Rest in Peace ibdave

Happy Birthday, AntiM!!

Here's to a GREAT DAY!!

Happy Birthday, Mercédes Joy!!

[magicmarty]

Happy Birthday, AntiM.

Morning, kiddies. Drove a grandson to Santa Barbara to start college on Sunday and returned last night. Hadn't been there in many years and was blown away at how beautiful the campus and the city have grown. Looked like a young students paradise to my jaded eyes

Cheers

[Ratty]

Happy Birthday AntiM. Have the best darn day possible.

[Aurelia]

Good Morning Dear Bar !

Happy Birthday AntiM !

Marty, That place always looked like Paradise ..so I didn't dare stay.. went to U.C.B. instead
as I know my weaknesses
somehow you don't fit my idea of jaded at all

Today I have decided my eye issue is crazy in the rain (reflections sparkle) and so I am not driving
yet

xoA,

[Elliot]

[AntiM]

Pass the marshmallows!

[trilobyte]

*raises a glass for those lost and those mourning a loss*

Happy birthday, AntiM! Stand back from that fire a bit, or maybe use extra-long marshmallow sticks hehe

I saw that whale project, it looks awesome! At first I had reservations (what with the whole threat of arson thing on Embrace), but seeing as it's a steel structure I imagine they'll have an exit plan (and hopefully the piece will have a long life either traveling the world or permanently installed in some lucky city). I'm guessing the mention of Tiffany glass is a typo, since Tiffany glass was a very specific type of glass produced from 1878-1933. Even using modern glass in that style would be impressive, and I'm a big fan of Android Jones' work. I doubt they'd bring the pier back, but who knows...

I've seen a few posts from arounds the internets about some cool projects coming to the playa this year, good luck to all those working on proposals for grants and various project write-ups. Which reminds me, I need to work on the write-up for my campmates for our 2016 nonsense.

Have a great Monday, try to stay dry and warm wherever you are!

[lucky420]

Hola Bar!

AntiM, I hope your day was absolutely splendid or at least ok.

[lucky420]

Morning Bar

Mmmmm slow night last night...

[Aurelia]

Good Morning Dear Bar

Is slow okay, Lucky ?

Life and irony ..,

I am waiting for a ride because the rain reflects/sparkles and then I really cannot see
but it isn't raining today

xoA.

[lucky420]

Yes, slow is okay...sometimes it's preferred

[Thecatman]

Mornin All!

Had my DOT physical yesterday and damn near didn't pass.
Took three checks of my BP to be an acceptable level.
146/85, 158/88, 138/82 respectively. 140/90 is the highest that is acceptable.
Went to my own doctor last week and it was 134/78 first check.
Switching to decaf might help
Oh well!
Wishin everybody a safe day.

[AntiM]

My BP is under control with simple water pills and hydration. We got Larry's down to pass his DOT by cutting sodium and choosing better foods. I still am trying to get him off "dinner sausages", he eats the damned things like hot dogs.

[shroom]

Happy late birthday!

Great news on the bp. Mine has been good for a while now so my dr is getting me off the meds.

Cheers!

[trilobyte]

Hooray on the blood pressure, but now I'm wondering what dinner sausages are. Like kielbasa and bratwurst, or something else? Now I'm kind of jonesing for sausages, but I'm also jonesing for some leftover pizza I've got from last night.

Busy-ish day, though currently I'm in hurry-up-and-wait mode. I got the ePlaya domain switched over and sorted out, but the tech team is still working on getting the re-direct set up. In the meantime, if you see or hear of anyone having trouble logging into eplaya.burningman.org, tell them to try logging into eplaya.burningman.org instead.

While I'm waiting I think I'm gonna go grab some nibbles.

[AntiM]

Yes, and there are others.

Applegate, Eckrich, Hillshire Farms .... big sausages made for use in recipes, but you can just eat them too.

[trilobyte]

Ah yeah, I've seen some of those at the store, and had he HF polish sausage quite a few times. Yum, but yeah probably a little processed and a wee bit saltier than most doctors would like.

Whew, we're in the home stretch on the .org migration. We'll have a short period of downtime (a few minutes) in a bit, then we ought to be all set to go.
