One Item for BM a Day (2010-2012)

[Foxfur]

And Melanie J told me that I had to give you my 2001 Hello Kitty T shirt, so you can see how that goes too - it is tiny but should prevent your high viz knackerring your nips at least if you were to wear it.

SQUEEEEEEE!
You are just too much there li'l Burpie.
Thank you from the bottom of my furry little heart!!!

Got a FireBall for this RedHead!!


And a ton of other things, that I finally caught up to doing and getting, but it slips my mind now.......

Your texted picture of my ticket last night was the best cheer up ever! I can't wait! I organized my clothing and am picking up my luggage and various gear from my parent's house this weekend where it is in storage. Next week is shopping for new fishnets. I have managed to trash all of mine in the last year.

That's a good year, then.

I stole one of SoP's images for some of them.
Also today, did a bit of shopping getting some water, toiletries, bag o' socks, and other little stuffs.

[lucky420]

very cool Bounce.

Bought a shit ton of vodka yesterday for Shot in the dArk...

plus some booze for camp

[inthecolumbiagorge]

awesome awesome AWESOME! I love hearing these things. we have 2 parachutes and a camo netting that we're gonna rig up with this support system and maybe another one. we were originally thinking monkey hut but this just seems like it's going to give us just the amount of shade we need for the 6-8 people in our camp.

Definitely more area covered than a monkey hut but make sure to vent, vent, vent the parachute or it will act just like a parachute is supposed to act and that is not good when you want it to stay in one place in the wind:-) We used high temp glue guns and glued around every vent so it would not tear or moop. Seems to work pretty good here in the windy gorge!

Made a reservation in Reno for the Monday after the Burn today.
Sent some emails on Craigslist for a cruiser to replace my bike that was stolen on the playa last year.
Ordered new goggles and rainbow elastic.

[AntiM]

Ordered pee funnel.

[bubbavic]

newish 8'x10' area rug - $5.

Hooray for moving sales!

The Great Tape Experiment was a success! After three weeks in the SoCal sun and heat, my painter's tape didn't leave any residue on the car upon removal. So, the tape gets a green light for decorating Ye Old Boxe Trucke.

Also, got a new backpack + hydration unit with lots of space for gear. Didn't come with a bladder but the one from my other camel pack (with zero cargo space) fits fine.

[mamasharon]

Sorry, folks, if you're not already doing something every day to get ready for the Burn, you are not truly living it. Today alone, I waged a battle with a mouse who thought he was going to join me. No pets on the Playa, snap! I s[ray painted the clothes rack for the Bizarre Bazaar. I worked on gifties. I stripped the beds in the motorhome and washed all the linens. I stocked up on batteries and loaded batteries into my el wire and battery powered lights. and I sewed on the dragon skin. Day's not over yet. Mama

[Foxfur]

Mama Sharon!!! How are you?

Well, I just spent $100+ at Spam.com and ordered 2 cases for the burn, 6 each of
SPAM® WITH BLACK PEPPER
JALAPENO SPAM®
SPAM® HOT & SPICY
SPAM® GARLIC
Plus a pennant, a can coozie, and 3 Spam fishing bobbers for Pappy's Bait Shop on The Pier II.

[Bob]

Spam Musubi is great finger food.

[theCryptofishist]

Just remember to cover the logo on those items, Foxfur. Or warp them to say Spun.

I am sooo doomed. 9 days til I fly out.... 7 days of work. Something's gotta give!

Anyway, my item for the day is checking my tent has all its bits and packing my main bag.

Yesterday I bought Foxfur a massive jar of vegemite and I bought a large container of zipties for camp ID tags that we made.

[Savannah]

Or change them from SPAM . . . to SPAZ.

This would take wayyy too long, but a girl can dream.

[bubbavic]

Got a nice big mallet for rebar driving today. =)

[International Incident]

lost tent poles... upended house... can’t find them. Luckily I have a second tent with the same tent poles!

Lesson one - go and check your tent bag to make sure you have all the poles!

[mgb327]

FoxFur, you DO know what they put into those cans of Spam, don't you? I thought not....You do know what they put into a Hello Kitty lolipop, don't you? I thought so.......

... and the tent! Weekend before last, we went camping with a couple of newbies. When they arrived, they discovered that their tent box contained only the rainfly and poles, the tent having been put away separately. Fortunately, it wasn't Burning Man or the backcountry, so they were able to drive to the next town for a new one.

[AntiM]

Up at four, making art while the coffee perked. May as well make use of the early morning waking insomnia.

[FeetOfClay]

sewed two pairs of soft cotton thai-fisherman-style hippie pants. comfy for really hot days. even if they DO make me look shapeless

You and me both, meleniejane. Some people do wonderful preparation, really impressive ready for anything stuff. Others...learn to...(*makes vague circles in air with hands*)...improvise... I comfort myself with the thought that I liek things open ended. Not that will keep the rain off, if that's what it comes to.

[melodiousdirge]

Covered the RV vent I installed on my trailer with silver tape, and painted the louvres with silver paint to cut down how much light it lets in:



Seems to have worked - this is with the door open:



This is with the door closed:

[Savannah]

On the weekend:

Turkey chili. Frosted shredded wheat. 1 packet of beef jerky to taste-test, before I do a larger purchase.

Random toiletries. Drawstring trashbags. Baby wipes.

[lucky420]

Bought a new camelbak today.

[lazerfox]

Ordered pee funnel.

which one did you go with? I love my p-style.

[trilobyte]

Nice work, MelodiousDirge, that space looks awesome!

Got a couple more art supplies ordered, and hammered away at some design stuff I'm tinkering with. Packages arrived as well, with the pants and shirts I ordered last week. The pants will need a little alteration, but the shirts are good to go.

[VultureChow]

Scheduled a root canal. Been putting it off, but figured I better do it. I'd hate for the tooth to go "hot" (painful) while I'm there.

[Savannah]

Yikes! Yeah, good call VultureChow.

I've had one root canal, and it honestly wasn't bad at all (it was way better than the earlier crown on the same tooth). They gave me a drug called Halcyon, which felt like two glasses of wine, only hazier in terms of memory (which is why they give it out). Good stuff.
