The Bar

Hi to all of you,

I'm from Bonaire (a divers paradise located somewhere in the Caribbean in the Netherlands Antilles).
In august I'll be going to the US, this is going to be the second time I visit the US and the first time I go to BM... yaaay!!

I've read/seen/heard a lot about it, but since most of you are BM veterans you could tell me what to expect and what I should not expect or avoid.
I hope I didn't post this in the wrong section, if so let me know.

Thank you

or as we say here in papiamento (our local language)
Masha danki!

Hi. The bar is a good place to start, so have a drink and then.....look at all the links in this big ole web site, especially on the main page.

OK. It's after noon. I'm heading for the bar for lunch.

Well, if it is after noon there, I suppose I can throw some frangelico in my iced coffee here. Yum.

Not to worry, it's always after 5 PM in Paris... and if not, it's always after 5 PM in Melbourne! >>grins<<

How's everyone? Hard to believe we're at day 60 (I think, can't find a calender!!)

ANYway... gotta bop in and out - gotta go to the city and deal with the man about a ticket I knew nothing about... hate it when that happens!! Anyone care to join me in a quick glass of Merlot before I go? (Hey, that rhymes!!)

A beer for me tonight, and then off to bed.

Can I get anyone else something while I'm back here?

Evening, Could I get a Margarita, ice ice

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Mon Jun 27, 2005 8:01 pm

Margarita for Z, then I'm getting ready to head out.

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Mon Jun 27, 2005 8:02 pm

How did the weekends building project go?

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Mon Jun 27, 2005 8:06 pm

Oh and thanks for the drink Sput,

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Mon Jun 27, 2005 8:08 pm

Pretty good. But I had my son with me, and he got bored pretty early on, so I had to head out before I was really finished. There is some concern being expressed that the base is too wobbly. The project leader mentioned maybe having to put plywood stiffening triangles on the panels.

<insert sarcasm here>Gee, that would make it a lot like my design that got voted down because the triangles looked bad</sarcasm>

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Mon Jun 27, 2005 8:11 pm

Funny and oh so gratifying

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Mon Jun 27, 2005 8:14 pm

Yeah, except it's hard to add triangles to this design since the edge is at a 22 degree angle from the base plate. No way to line it up without some sort of wedge. Oh well.

Time for bed. Goodnight.

(Tired, but still awake, black cat comes into the bar with a load of cookies)

Here’s something to go with the coffee in the morning, my friends.

I'll take a chai with extra spices. Make that two in case someone shows up.

somebody just shoot me with a tranquilizer gun, please.

You're darted, relax.

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Tue Jun 28, 2005 10:26 am

ahh...I'm all relaxed now. Just had a nice 2 hour lunch with beer with my uberfriends.

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Tue Jun 28, 2005 11:30 am

*M walks in, gets a bloodymary and a straw, then goes to the ice machine and gets a bag o' ice....proceeds to hold it in her very sore hands whilst sipping her drink*

Howdy everyone! How're your days going?

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Tue Jun 28, 2005 12:27 pm

Very nice M, if the temps would drop a bit (well, the humidity anyway) I'd feel a lot better.

joel the ornery · Post by **joel the ornery** » Tue Jun 28, 2005 12:32 pm

another dart please.

helitack · Post by **helitack** » Tue Jun 28, 2005 12:34 pm

Phhhht! Darted.

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Tue Jun 28, 2005 12:44 pm

I second that, Sputnik...I wish the humidity would drop, too.
Drippin' hot outside. I was outside making a small garden for my sister and PHEW! I needs a shower...BLEH!
Before that I cut the struts for my dome, 35 of them with a pipecutter, hence the sore paws. Just popped that blister, ouch! I can tell I'm going to be needing the ibuprophen soon.....or maybe a lot to drink!
