395 DAYS TO THE BURN

Post by unjonharley » Fri Jul 29, 2011 7:39 pm

It looks like I have 395 days to get a ticket and gear up for BURNING MAN 2012..

So will take the money from the 2011 ticket I had to sell And put it aside until the ticket sales open in Feb.. Next will be inventory and store the BM camp items..

Then clear the art table in the garage and lay out 2012s kenetic art scalpture..

Start a personal fund riser to fund an art project.. I have a little scrape iron, A bucket of smashed cans and a container of lead weights.. The cans I pick up wont go back for refund.. They weigh in at about 20 can to the pound.. The lead I pick up while riding my electric transported. They come off car wheels when they hit the curb at intersections.. Bout once a month I bike ride along a road and pick up 5 cent deposit cans.. For sale I have two very nice bikes I no longer use, A good bike trainer and some camp gear.. The camp gear is from changing camping style and no longer used.. Then there is a pile of salvaged cedar boards. When ever I run the table saw, I rip(cut) some boards to make cute planters.. People pay $20 for a wheel barrow planter.. Figure two projects will run around $2000..

If I start to hussel today I should be on the playa in 395 days..

That's not enough time, you'll never make it, give up now, and start begging for a ticket. :roll:

That's an inspirational post.

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

This is pretty much where I'm at, minus the kinetic art skills.

Burning Man isn't about the stuff you see when you get there ....it's about the people that brought that stuff there

With that kind of time I'd be willing to bet you will create something better than my ride.

Wish to hell you were coming this year! :(

It doesn't take any talent to run a table saw or make stuff.. gosh. Why not just get a monkey to hit the buttons already. :roll:

I was lusting over the Palmer two seater.. Lots of alumina channel around here. Two peddle with in chain electric.. ahh, daydreaming..

I do need some good side shots of a SF hill trolley.. All I can find are front shots.. The voices in my head are saying: Trolley hex cycle.. Need the side pictures to see how to set up the slave galley.. ???? four=qudd, five= pena, six=hex. seven=???, eight=octa.
