Hey Sputnik! Congratulations!!!!!!

Looks like the burn went really, really well! Good height, good shape and containment... Who is that to the right of it (looks like) spinning poi or somesuch??

For your success... a snifter with a double of Patron Anejo... Would you prefer a lime or an orange with that?

That would be Art. He was doing some fire breathing while we burned.

Orange, I guess. Never had that before.

It burned so hot and so fast, it was a good thing we moved the couches back farther. They would have lit up otherwise. I can't wait to see the big ones go up.

Beer me!

That's about as shinny as the bar is going to get, I'm out of here.

Blue walks into an empty bar, then notices how clean the bar top is

Wow! I can see myself in this bar, someone really must have been bored. Oh, and look a belated birthday card for me.

Blue picks up card and opens it, then looks at the suprise inside. Turns and continues to look at it perplexed.

Gee thanks Monkeypoo, that was really sweet of you to leave a card. I only wish I knew what this suprise thing is.

Wanders into the bar, notices glow from bar top, sees shadow of Blue agaunst the glare...

Hey there, Blue!! Wow! Someone must've been bored last night. They even polished the brass lanterns! I can see my face in the bar top... Amazing.

Whaddya get??

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Sun May 22, 2005 5:32 pm

OK. Time to crack the first beer of the evening. Tonight's swill is from the Atwater Block brewery in Detroit. It's actually a really good dunkel.

Anyone else want one?

Oh...and some video for your enjoyment...

Hey, I'll try one. What's it like?? More Bridgeport IPA-ish, Shiner Bock-ish, or ???

Here ya go Sue.

A dunkel is a dark beer Actually, that's all dunkel means in German, dark. It's a lager too. Does that help?

Holly crapping molly, what a weekend. Got my garage cleaned out, fixed 3 coputers, saw Star Wars, threw a b-day party for my friend and still managed to get enough sleep. I need a drink!!

(Looking like something he might have dragged in, black cat wanders into the bar. Skinny and haggard looking... he is a mere shadow of his former self)

[*gasp*] Porter... porter... [/*gasp*]

Anybody around tonight?

(Rummaging for beer)

Finally got a new computer up a going. Gotta send the other to the shop and see if it can be salvaged.

(Pulling back the curtains behind the bar and peeking into “the cathole”)

Jeez... guess I’ve been gone a while. Plenty dusty in there..

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Sun May 22, 2005 9:37 pm

Downloading antivirus updates for this new setup here. It makes things slow on my connection. Thought I’d leave stop in and say howdy.

(Digging into magic ditty bag)

Here’s a case of Redhook ESB and a couple bottles of Yellow Tail to pass around.

And great pics of the Windmill Burn, Sput...

Be back soon enough...

RobbiDobbs comes in. There is a fine layer of dust on the bar, but it's remarkably cleaner than the last time she came in. She helps herself to the Red Hook, lights a cigarette.

Here, Kitty, kitty, kitty!

Elemental666 · Post by **Elemental666** » Sun May 22, 2005 10:23 pm

heya kitty kitty!

*fumbles arund in his pocket and extacts a slightly crumpled nug of nip*

for you!

*Helps himself to a tall cold one.*

Everyone have a good weekend?

Blowing bubble in her beer for effect.

Well, the movie I narrated was shown. I was then told by the director it would be re-recorded/edited. He wants it to become "world famous", so I need to make myself available on w/e's for an indefinite time. I also connected with a videographer who makes real estate clips for tv & web ads, and he wants me to VO them. I was also informed of some projects coming up for Fish & Wildlife. I'm pretty stoked about this news, but foresee all the work at the same time.
After the showing, I had to do some serious escaping, so I went to see Star Wars and had a lovely time. Today I went to a friend's and worked on my truck. It's going to need a frame puller to fix properly. Damn.

How bout you?

Wow, sounds like your getting some recognition, very nice. Bummer bout the bad frame, what kinda truck you got? I had a pretty busy but productive weekend:

Got my garage cleaned out, fixed 3 computers, saw Star Wars, threw a b-day party for my friend and still managed to get enough sleep.

Got a few chores to finish this week, dumping all the stuff from the garage, throwing a dread party (from which i should emerge with a head full of natty dreads, woot), making all my jigs to start hammering out my dome for BM.

Looking forward to this weekend however as I can finally start working on the Dome...

robbidobbs · Post by **robbidobbs** » Sun May 22, 2005 11:02 pm

Whoo-dee-whoo! about the dome making project.
Do you know why no one has made a Bucky ball designed geodome? Where each section is the same length and the joints have 3 prongs? Is there a structural integrity issue?

I have a Tacoma, and I mooshed the left front fender months ago, had the major (obviously illegal if left unrepaired) stuff replaced, and have been trying to save money to get the job finished. It's going to be more expensive than previously envisioned...but aren't these things always so?

I just got a phone call, so I need to take it.

robbidobbs · Post by **robbidobbs** » Sun May 22, 2005 11:20 pm

No need to answer the dome question, I'm just curious.

I need to go to sleep now though. I'm glad about your successful w/e.

RobbiDobbs smooches him on the cheek and leaves The Bar.

Elemental666 · Post by **Elemental666** » Sun May 22, 2005 11:33 pm

sorry I didn't reply before you left, I post from work ; ;

anyway, I"ve seen pics of a larg bucky ball (like) structure from a rave somewhere. Not sure if it was functional (got bigger and smaller) but seems to me the biggest issue would be controlling its size. IE. without something holding it in position gravity would force it into its smallest config. Might be kinda expensive to work out...

well, sleep tight

coffee.....must have coffee...

hmm...

Elemental666 · Post by **Elemental666** » Mon May 23, 2005 4:36 am

*rolls over in his sleep and falls off the bar*

coffee sounds good

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Mon May 23, 2005 6:14 am

OK. I'm awake enough now to make some java. Nothing fancy though, just some cowboy coffee since I can't find the filters. Just let the grounds settle out.

*Fishy strides in and pours coffee. Dilutes its cowboyness with large shot of warmed milk and checks the tapes.* Oh crap! Woodrow's inviting his homeboys! Next they'll turn it into a disco!

BBS walks in, blinks eyes at the light change, wanders over to old-style perc-o-matic, and pours a cuppa coffee...

'Morning, all! Mmmm... strong and black, something I can sink my teeth into! Was tasting wines this weekend, as well as starting to get all my gear together. Amazing how much stuff grows legs and wanders off into the most amazing of places... That and working for darn near everyone... at least tthe OT is OK...

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Mon May 23, 2005 10:39 am

Hello ladies.

Thanks for reminding me that I've got to start assembling my gear Sue.

theCryptofishist · Post by **theCryptofishist** » Mon May 23, 2005 11:02 am

Yeah, I got blisters last night cutting up cds to use as decoration. So many projects, so little time, not enough help from the mrFishist.

Poof.
