I’ll tell ya... I heard that regyna and giggles were really shakin’ some ass in the Gay Bar earlier. I really hate that I missed that. Gay Bars always have good music, man. Gotta start checking in there more often. Maybe my sly grin avatar will get me in the door, you think?

This shit ain’t helpin’ my nerves any heli.

Wow... when she speaks and hangs around long enough for you to take a pic, then you are a blessed man.

I'm here for a while. Racking my brain about building a dome shelter.
I think I need a drink. Think I'll try one of Heli's warm beers.

Hey Msky... domes eh? My burner amigo is building one this year he tells me.

What's everyone doing tonight, other then being in here for a while?

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Sat Feb 19, 2005 7:06 pm

I had a long day and didn’t feel like going out and getting into anything. I’m almost too beat to be here, but I figured somebody had to help get it to page 2005.

I went to HD today and the had packs of 10 pieces of 3/4" conduit and it was heavy!! I wonder how much 35 pieces are gonna weigh?! I hope my pickup can handle the load!

No blems...

Have you gone to the desert domes site yet?

Ah, Yes SIR! I was just looking at the DD site again, Sir!

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Sat Feb 19, 2005 7:16 pm

Is 3/4" big enough? A super cool dude that camped next to us last year had what I remember as 3/4" as a dome around his car and it caved in during the windy day (50-60mph). But it did stay up I have to say. There’s a good thread on domes around here somewhere. Have you checked it out yet?

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Sat Feb 19, 2005 7:19 pm

Oh NO! It caved in? That's not good! My other option is to bring a tent. But I'd rather build a dome.
I think I need to make the struts 5'3 1/2" & 4'8 1/2". I've also been talking to Robotland about domes.

Martiansky, the 10' lengths of 3/4" emt conduit
weigh about 4-1/4 lbs. ea. So if I'm right the
dome should weigh in at 148-3/4 lbs. then you
need to add the weight of all the nuts, bolts, and
washers to it.Miss Tara @ Desert Domes has got
a great website for domes. It's like a dome bible
for us do-it-yourselfers.

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Sat Feb 19, 2005 7:34 pm

Thanks BadDawg! 150 lbs should be no problem then for my truck (1/2ton)
I have been to the Desert Domes site and clicked on tons of different links to lots of domes. They are all great! I just wish it'd warm up and the snow would melt so I can get to building!!

Ack!! You ever tried Young's Double Chocolate Stout? Blech!!

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Sat Feb 19, 2005 7:48 pm

It caved in on one side, but it held it's ground too. I'd have used a little beefier framework myself, but then again... I've never built a dome. Robotland is exactly who I was going to suggest you contact. He’s your best bet, I’m thinking.

I’ll take one of those cocktails, there Kernul...

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Sat Feb 19, 2005 7:57 pm

Ok, pals of mine...

I’m going to read for a bit I think and then hit the sack

g'night!!

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Sat Feb 19, 2005 8:03 pm

Goodnight LeChat.
I'm heading out too.
G'Nite all.

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Sat Feb 19, 2005 8:05 pm

OH, Msky...

It just dawned on me that you might be using metal conduit, since you were talking about wieght.. The guy next to us used plastic, so it was more flexy-like, but... it popped right back after the wind let up. Metal is something different all together. Stronger, but won’t pop right back either. Just thought that was worth mentioning.

Thanks, Lechat. have you seen the pictures of the Embassy Theme camp? They used PVC pipe and it was cool looking and huge!!

Hey anybody around tonight?....... Blue?

heya Z, what's going on?

P.S.- this was the year I was born

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Sat Feb 19, 2005 8:44 pm

Happy page convergence or what ever it would be.

So how is working?

Ranger Genius · Post by **Ranger Genius** » Sat Feb 19, 2005 8:46 pm

Drat. I missed my birth page. Lookie, lookie! Someone who's younger than me! I get to lord my superior experience over her!

blueniteowl · Post by **blueniteowl** » Sat Feb 19, 2005 8:48 pm

eh, just eh.

I don't know. I've already mastered the register, and know how to use the price gun. I suppose I'm already bored with it. I just stocked stuff and helped people all day. There's no thought in it at all. Plus, I don't think it'll take me long to learn where all the wines are.

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Sat Feb 19, 2005 8:48 pm

OK, punk how much experience do you have on this planet?

Ranger Genius · Post by **Ranger Genius** » Sat Feb 19, 2005 8:49 pm

Umm, at least four months and two days more than blue.

Right, but I can still ignore you. Or, listen with intent on every word and play off of your ego.

Ranger Genius · Post by **Ranger Genius** » Sat Feb 19, 2005 8:50 pm

I got way ahead of you in post count, too. Despite spreading my attention between three boards. Maybe I need a job.

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Sat Feb 19, 2005 8:51 pm

Yeah but Blue you need to find the hook that makes it interesting,... learn every thing you can about wine where and how it is produced and the differences and similarities between the types and vintages.
