MA? I have a single burner propane stove with several bottles of fuel I would be happy to give you! We never use it since we don't motorcycle camp anymore. I'll have it with me and I can easily drop it off at BDC before opening so it will be there for you. It will even be in its own 5 gallon bucket for ya. You want it?

BTW,,,, good find on your shopping adventure!

Awww thanks you but I'm going to buy a 2 burner caming stove, propane. I'm thinking just buying the canisters of propane instead of the big thingy! I don't know how many to buy,,,maybe 4...

If anyone wants my butane single burner, they canhave it!

I went to Compression in Reno last weekend. Seriously the happiest I've been in decades. I stayed with OneEyed Dick and Leggs for 2 nights and had a blast. Dick is a riot! Stayed with Nila and Killbuck Saturday night. Sunday they chauffered me in Killbuck's newly remodelled urban assault van over to meet Mister Jellyfish and crew at their secret lair. I was able to observe progress on Georgie Boy, superb. Jelly gave me a sander and asked me to rub Georgie's wood. :shock: Didn't have to ask me twice.
I played minion to Dick's evil genius and helped him set up a misting shelter to keep the Controlled Burn crew and performers cool in the cruel sun. Someone came by and gave me an all-access wristband! I was able to come and go between the commoners and "back-stage". I wore the shoulder armor and suitable clothes to go with. I was repeatedly assaulted by photographers, damn huh? A real artist (as in her sculptures are in MUSEUMS) had seen the armor on FB and said she was so excited to see it in person. Said she was inspired and hoped to create something on the same level some day. At first I thought she was shitting me or putting me on. She and her fiancee gave me an incredible laser cut and etched enameled pendant of the man!
I got to camp with Espressodude & Helga ON THE PLAYA on Thursday night. It was nice to see it as it really is; vast, open, and empty. It will be amazing to behold the city that arises out of nothing.
We convoyed home Monday. I drove most of the way wearing only a seatbelt and a smile, whee! Edude & Helga were in the lead vehicle with me behind. We went through mountains I'd never seen before. WOW! There's so much of my own state I've never seen.
When I got home, Sweetpea and I embraced (awww...). She held my arm next to hers. Seeing the contrast of my tan against her nonexistant one, she said "Jungle Love!".
I laughed so hard I almost pissed HER pants.

Best weekend of my life so far.
30 days until the next one...

I finally after waiting over a month and starting to panic received my disability checks! I ran out and deposited them, and then proceeded to order online everything I needed still for BRC. I am DONE! and so excited! I am camping with great friends in Gigsville this year and can't wait to get out there.

Foxfur - you have kept me so amused and touched, I follow you on FB and your blog. Your one post about the bi stuff and what Sweetpea told you actually moved me to tears. I am so happy for you! I am bi as well and I wish you much happiness exploring this newly discovered horizon.

Holy crap! I was trying to be subtle, buuut, looks like it's on the signboard now...
http://foxfuramused.com
The blog has all the skinny on whatever you might want to know...
Just some unintelligible scratchings so far but has been a great way to publicly / anonymously explore some issues.
The difference in my quality of life has skyrocketed. Having sweetpea by my side through all of it has been more of a comfort than I could ever imagine. And having an incredibly close friend like Miss Bee, whom Sweetpea adores, has made it much easier. She's taking me shopping on Thursday to get me out of my jeans/t-shirt disaster of a wardrobe.
My recent life changes are certainly fodder for this happy thread.
So when I said that I am happier now than I have ever been or ever dreamed possible, it's daggum true.
Now y'all know why.
Thanks. Without you eplayans, I'd never have gotten out of that tar pit. I do not exaggerate. That's the truth. It makes me so very happy.
I love you fuckos!

Well, the question is: how do YOU like it? I'm curious as to how significant it is to you . . . whether you haven't seen your own chin in 10 years, or whether this is something you do every other month. :)

If you truly want my opinion, I would need to see a straight on shot without sunglasses. So far I've only seen a profile, and a shot with sunglasses.

You know Savannah, I really do like it. Just makes me feel good. Kind of like taking off a mask. It's only been off once in fifteen years and that was due to an incident involving fire(!) last year.

An outward manifestation of inward change is a great thing. :)

My neighbor, in room 6 was arrested over a week ago, for trespassing and driving without a license. Because of her Bi Polar condition, the Modoc County Mental Health Dept. ,sent her to this motel. Her biggest complaint, was that the Modoc Record misspelled her name in the arrest report. I got the paper today, and, bless her heart, she made them print a correction.

Well if it's going to be on your permanent record, you might was make sure it is YOUR PERMANENT RECORD!

I finally finished the spanking bench/sybian today! Complete with handlebars per FIGJAM's suggestion which double was head rests for spanking and bondage. The Niagara Massage Therapy Corp. of 1970's vintage vibrator powers the sybian with a wired remote control which runs on 110 volts.

How did I attach the implement of pleasure? The Burning Man Way! Bungee balls, leather and spring clamps! It purrs like a kitten but vibrates like a jack hammer. YAY!

You can see the final product on the Work in Progress thread.

Yeah I hear ya,,,,, but that would interfere with spanking and other access to warmer orifices.

She has issues, which are serious..I'm just happy to see she still has a sense of humor.

Good luck with your spanking machine.

I fell over on my side laughing, smacking the sofa, then open-palmed the wall. Sweetpea came out to see what the fuck was goin on. I pointed and she had a very similar reaction.
Bwahahahaha!
