A belated happy birthday to the Kernul and Elliot!

I now have a 12x16 clay chimney flue liner on order as well as a chimney cap with integral damper. And I finally tuned my lyre. I can take it easy the rest of the day.

Happy Boxing Day! (Who are we supposed to box?)

Happy belated birthdays to Elliot and Kernul Kilbuck, and happy belated ePlayaversary to knowmad!

I kinda feel bad for the biker thread guy. Yeah, it's a bad idea and people chimed in with solid advice and good information, but the poor guy probably never expected a such a wall of opposition. Hopefully he/she figures it out, and comes to appreciate the honest advice.

Meanwhile, it's still drink thirty...MOAR VODKA!

right now I would settle for hot chocolate, so frigging tired of coffee right now.

Gets to the point where

doesn't work anymore, eh (((Goathead)))??? And it starts to "fret the coatings of the stomach" as my grandmother used to say.

Nevertheless:

*starts ECM*

I need it.

*wanders in*
thanks MDF.........coffee still works.
Hey, it's GH!! good to seeya pop in!
any reports from the playa?

Yeah, Trilo, I sort of agree about the biker guy. He's a bit of an ass hat, but, maybe it's because he hit such a wall of opposition.
I do get frustrated at some "bicyclists" attitudes of entitlement and power.

It's a wide world of vehicles piloted by assholes.

I don't expect them solely on bicycles.

In San Francisco it's bicycles. And cars. And taxis. And buses. And peds.

Did I miss any?

Wheelchairs?

Dr. Pyro · Post by **Dr. Pyro** » Thu Dec 27, 2012 9:51 am

Cable cars?

Ugly Dougly · Post by **Ugly Dougly** » Thu Dec 27, 2012 9:57 am

Kotekas?

Simon of the Playa · Post by **Simon of the Playa** » Thu Dec 27, 2012 10:06 am

skateboards.

graidawg · Post by **graidawg** » Thu Dec 27, 2012 10:51 am

gliders. it seems gliders aren't appreciated in Tahoe. is tahoe a place or just a lake? anyway they closed my friends gliding club of something like 30 years existence for some magde up reason basically because he's an asshole.

MyDearFriend · Post by **MyDearFriend** » Thu Dec 27, 2012 11:02 am

Well being an asshole is as good a reason as any to shut someone down, but that seems way too sensible for the US of A.

Seconding the request for a report on playa conditions from Goathead.

Dr. Pyro · Post by **Dr. Pyro** » Thu Dec 27, 2012 11:07 am

FWIW, the Sierra snowpack is 146% above normal for this date, and there has been snow in Gerlach recently. This bodes well for the playa as long as the rest of the winter is anything close to "normal". And besides, this will make the ride on the train through the snow that much more interesting!

Looks like snu!

Because the cable cars are on a track, there's limits to their obnoxiousness....

Elliot · Post by **Elliot** » Thu Dec 27, 2012 12:28 pm

*walks in, wearing corduroy and elbow patches. A groan rises from the crowd, as they realize they are about to be subjected to another English lesson*

Yes, people, English is a rather imprecise language, so we ought do our best to avoid misunderstandings. Now, about this bicycling-to-the-burn business.... Please watch the blackboard:

This is a “bicyclist”. After using the word “bicyclist” in a sentence, you may shorten it to “cyclist” so long as the context remains the same.

This is a “motorcyclist”.

This is a “biker”.

Class dismissed.

FIGJAM · Post by **FIGJAM** » Thu Dec 27, 2012 12:32 pm

I thought a "Biker" was someone who repairs bikes.

graidawg · Post by **graidawg** » Thu Dec 27, 2012 12:34 pm

i really tried to get super x-ray vision and telescopic eyes to see the damn playa there

there is always an exception.

if you look like this, you can take up BOTH lanes of 447, and go as slow as you want.
