Bounce530, Beautiful kid, nice studio! Are you going to do candy cane bends on the rebar?

Bounce530 · Post by **Bounce530** » Sat Jul 03, 2010 5:31 pm

Well thank you Emily! but no I'm not going to candy cane the rebar, I found it makes for pounding it in to the ground a PITA.

And for today, I got the hut up, only took a few minutes. No pix yet...but they'll come.

Was gifted two bikes today! Yay!

Will use one as my new Playa Bike, and I'm thinking I should regift the other.

It's a small Specialized Rock Hopper, good for an adolescent or a person under 5' tall. I haven't fully examined it, so I don't quite know what it needs.

PM me if you're close by and interested.

I also found a mini-barbie who is currently hanging out...

Yes, that's the antenna on my Eurovan.

Look for "mummers" costumes, too.

Too many feathers.....

They don't all have feathers.

They're not allowed to sell them...but you can find them.

We've spent a TON of time on Burning Man this weekend--rethinking our meal planning (not sure I trust dry ice & freezing in vacuum bags when we're driving 3 days just to get to Reno...), driving around to find a gas can and look for a trailer tongue mount for our ginormous spare tire (haven't found one yet--they all seem to be made for teeny little toy tires), coloring shrinky pins, and I sewed my first tutu to match my Superman shirt that I found at St. Vinnies & altered to fit (more or less). Tomorrow: Bikes!

you go Bling.

I can't get away with saying bling even as a name.

Doug assembled most of the Pedicab. woot woot.

I relaxed with a glass of wine and took pics

[quote="Bling"] I sewed my first tutu to match my Superman shirt(more or less). You had me at this!

My item today was making fur bike handle bar covers (over the nasty hard rubber ones) on our bikes. Mine are pink, the Mr.'s are a more natural green. I'm also outfitting his bike frame with silver lame'. Mine will be all pink fur as I have a bunch of it leftover from seat covers in the van.

Bling · Post by **Bling** » Mon Jul 05, 2010 7:39 pm

Ooh, never thought of making handlebar covers. Good idea! I still want to sew cooler covers and sew some furnace filters inside bandanas for extra dust protection...

For cooler covers I'm using that mylar bubblewrap insulation from the hardware/home store. I hear it works great...put it on the outside and put the cooler up on a pallet to keep it off the hot playa.

Bling · Post by **Bling** » Mon Jul 05, 2010 7:46 pm

I got some fleece and some quilted fabric, but it'll be inside of our camper, which has 3" of styrofoam insulation all by itself. We still need dry ice, though. Our "5-day" cooler really only goes 3-4 days as it is, without the Playa.

Post by **AntiM** » Mon Jul 05, 2010 7:51 pm

My cooler cozies are made of quilted fabric. I made them my first year and they're going on ten. We keep the coolers in the shade on a hunk of carpet. Works just fine.

Good news. I am but one bike flip away from being able to buy my ticket.

Bad news. My playa book with all my lists went through the washer.

Ying, Yang, party of two!

Ouch! I keep my list on my laptop. What's a bike flip?

Wow! I totally thought that was fake. I am saddened by our world that it is not.

Anyhoo, I love this thread and I have to add to it. I cleaned my goggles yesterday and today we picked up some trashed fencing to recycle into our theme camp fence. Yay!

Actually, I'm just hoping it's not a sign. Someone threw some playa drama my way yesterday too, and I gotta say, it kinda freaked me out.

jella · Post by **jella** » Tue Jul 06, 2010 2:47 pm

I was tempted to say throw it back but better to starve drama then feed it

. Smile big and charge forward.
