NTS: don't wake Heli up at 3AM, ever.

Rebi, I haven't had much luck sending PMs to you, so I'll post it here. I promised you that I could get you free firewood. Well, a friend is doing a job taking out several eucalyptus trees in Brentwood. The firewood is yours if you want it.
I'm sure it will dry just fine in the desert. The only problem is storage and transportation.
I would guess that the volume is about <6 cords>
Euc sells for about $350 a cord, so it would be worth your time to haul it up there.
Job is next week, so let me know.
Dan

There are definite exeptions to that, depending on your gender, your ranking on the scale and requested activity/activities.

231. Never buy one of anything that needs to be replaced.

232. If you've had to replace it once it will break faster the next time.

233. Never use you're car's battery to suppliment your RV's battery system.

234. Rats and Mice will get into anything.

235. Fabreze is the Hindu ropeclimbers choice for rope burns.....

If Angelina Jolie shows you her Rack of Infinite Wisdom, you're way past dehydrated.

But you're in luck. The best cure for dehydration is fresh mothers milk.

Kinetic, I get medical newsletters and do a lot of reading. I had thought of starting a health thread. Combine our knowledge for the good of the greater BM community.
I didn't do it yet.
I'll add a couple of things though.
The FDA refused to approve Aspartame for 16 years. The president of Searle[the manufacturer] leaned heavily on Gov to approve it.
His name,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Donald Rumsfeld.

Researchers at Baylor are calling Alzheimers,,,type III diabetes.
High fructose corn syrup is worse than sugar.
Vegetable oil is well linked to wet macular degeneration.
Pesticide handling is well linked to Parkinsons.
Mountain Dew seems to cause a lot of caffeine problems.

269. If you let yourself get dehydrated, Angelina Jolie will show you her rack.

270. How much you really love living in the desert.

I live a life most people only get to do on weekends.

Angelina Jolie and the Rack of Infinite Wisdom reference: American Dad, part two of the Saudi Arabia epiosde, I think it airs again Sunday. About as offensive as you can get, which is why I like it.

Hey, any cartoon which has a song (singing) "So if you have a vagina, a clitoris or labia, Stay the hell away from Saudi Arabia!" has my attention.

271. If you really lived in the desert, you wouldn't get to watch network TV.

I can't find the picture right off hand but I have one of a nomadic family with a small TV and Ku band satellite dish....and a hand cranked genny to run the whole setup. In this day and age anything is possible, even in the midst of the desert.

"Burningman causes Tourettes Syndrome"

I read this somewhere. I too subscribe to this theory.

Rebbi, have you learned that the appreciation of absolute solitude is an acquired taste?

The other thing that I had forgotten to mention; I don't think that you should push the fuel pump button at the same time as you push the start button. I think that's what caused your blown fuse on the generator.

When the fuel pump on your truck chooses to shit the bed, make sure it is ONLY a four hour walk home. Thanks to all you pieces of human shit that saw I was having a problem and kept on going, all five carloads of you. Karma is a bloody bitch.

Sorry to hear your woes Heli. I drove up the ALCAN several times. Years ago, the law was that you HAD to stop for someone broken down.

It's a little late now, but i've driven in without a fuel pump in a jeep. I put a small hose into the gas tank, plugged the vent and told the other 2 guys that as long as they blew in to the hose, they wouldn't have to walk home.

It was a great motivator because they didn't know the way home.

It was also pretty funny to see their red faces

I've also put a jerry can on the roof.,,,50 mph max.

No,No , you've got it wrong. It's not randy mr. green.
His name is Randy Rooter. He lives on penetration street 2 blocks from the corner of trollop and tart.

The envious Mr Green lives on lackanooky street. It's near the corner of prig and twit.

Oh yeah,,,I learned about this in the desert.

Rabbi, I have that "tree" ready that I was going to bring up to you. A broken foot and ankle prevents me from driving.

Virgin,

one thing you aren't thinking of Missouri (Misery) = Humid Heat - Desert = Dry Heat...

There Is A HUGE Difference.

I dislike the heat, humid or dry, however, I dislike dry heat less than humid.

Get an air mattress, air it up in the cool of the morning (it should have deflated a bit in the cold air of the night) - the air inside it will be cool while you sleep on it and stay cool for quite a while. Sleep only after the sun has come up and stay in the shade until past 3pm. (Hottest part of the day is 11a - 3p) Once your bed/tent is too hot to sleep, go sit under your open shade structure, drink a ton of water, have a bite to eat, fart around and goof off in the shade with camp mates.

If that's still too much for you, volunteer to get the next batch of ice for your camp and head straight to Arctic, enjoy to lovely feel of the ice.

lather, rinse, repeat
