Hey, GH, give YG a hug for me! See ya in a couple of days!!!

Put Misa on the train for Auburn a couple of hours ago. She should be there very shortly. She is a delightful lady. You are all in for a treat to meet her. We had a great time together.

One more day of work and LF and I will be on the road! Yippeee!

he said he has a 6 am shift, so I really should keep him out all night.
Just to get him use to the working hours on the playa.

...and so it begins with everyone saying goodbye and see you in a few.

Today, on my way downtown to meet a guy I know who's in town for a bit to have a beer, I'm driving on the freeway and a car passes me. It has two bikes on the back, which would not normally be interesting, but...these bikes are both painted gold. Totally gold. The tires have gold hash marks on them all the way around. I notice two 20 something women in the car. The back seat is full of stuff. I think I just saw a couple of burners headed home. They were from Canada (Ontario) and their license plate read BUUNK 1.

Soon I will be in the dust too, just not soon enough.

OK, one more beer with all y'all

The glass is wrong, but the beer is right!
It's going to be alright.

Hans has arrived. Tomorrow he will adjust our bike brakes so we can stop. We'll hit one of the local breweries (Buckbean) to snag a few to take to the Playa. We'll also do drive bys on some of the hot spots in Reno to see if we can spot any burners.

    Hans has unwittingly picked his Playa name - Mr. Flits. That is the way he jokingly signed his email this morning to his wife. He was referring to the vest with all the blinking lights.

    LF - see you Saturday night with MM in Sparks?

    Looks like a little rain on the way in to BRC Sat & Sun..

    DESERT DUST AND RAIN WATER MAKE THE BLACKTOP ROADS SLIPPERY..

    Like slick as snot on a doorknob

    SLOW THE FUCK DOWN..

    Just a light rain is the worsest. A down pour washes the dust away.

    * snuggles dougly * i can't believe we won't have your barbaric self on the playa .... we'll miss you ....

    misa, i'll bring whisks and bowls and pans and things. i'll make the pudding on playa ... i can't buy the packaged stuff ... europe's packaged stuff is so much better! but it's not too hard to make. are you enjoying your visit to california?

    gyre, i'm in LA preparing for the burn and moving a load of crap north and fighting a sinus infection all at the same time! surviving to-day will be a major feat... and i plan to celebrate like crazy!

    oh i'm taking swimming lessons too, just in case.
