Got a bunch of die-cut reflective strips of stickers, some 30mm oiltight colored lenses for the Foxco2000 Cyberhelmet, more holographic stickers, blinky & 3color fading LED's, and some elbow length heavy latex gloves (fetish gifties :oops: ).
Almost bought a pneumatic rotary table with reciprocaing shaft in the center that goes up & down @ variable speeds (think adult sit n spin). Didn't get it cause I don't know if Trishntek have an air compressor @ Retrofrolic... :lol:

I have two 2,000lb capacity linear actuators in the shop.
They have a 20 inch stroke that can be regulated for those 'shallow people'.
I should test em to see what the cyclic rate (thrusts per second) is.

Why do I post this shit???

you ARE going to need a bigger rig to haul all that stuff. Butt then you might clean out your unit swapping with the dude at Slurpuss Gizzmo. How may bales of handi wipes are you gonna need... leave no trace... a clean play-a

Handi wipes? Dude! I use socks for that...
For keeping my body clean I'll use the shower in the trailer. I can do a shower with 2-3 liters of H2O. The main tank holds 15gal.
Once every other day will leave me extra showers to gift to special people.

The new genny on the bus is hooked up and running like a dream. Both ACs managed to survive the brownouts from the old genny and they cooled that bus down nicely even though it's 107 degrees outside. I was able to do a quick inventory and get my shopping list in order. YAY!

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That is not what I was expecting...at all. If you were female I would say attach it to the front of a thong (or merkin) and where it proudly. Or you know, you could do that even though you're male. Joke's not quite the same though...

Decorated my boring motorcycle goggles for Burning Man. This is the crappy photo I took with my webcam. I glued chain on the border of the frames and sewed buttons and fluer de lis charms on the elastic sides.

News flash, Adirondacks. Camp consolers announce that they have found FOX tracks and BADGER tracks on their maple syrup cooler. ADK campers are accustomed to visits from the BEAR clan but Fox and Badger tracks are considered unusual. ADK shall continue to feed all wildlife as campers leave The Park and travel west. Campers look forward to soon observing these critters in their playa habitat.

Thanks Elorrum!! I stopped traffic across five lanes to flip a bitch and go get it.
First thing I checked was the welds. It is a franken bike. And the guy who had it
said "Oh, it's just something I tinker with." (hehehe) I couldn't pass that up!!

Picked up 2 spare eyeglasses and polarized shades.

Ordered glow in the dark powder and some pigmented glow in the dark paint to play with.
