Yum! Especially big "Belgian" waffles loaded with blueberries and strawberries.

TPBM likes checking the BRC weather report, even when they know it won't change anything about their preparations.
When he lights his streetlamp, it is as if he brought one more star to life, or one flower.
When he puts out his lamp, he sends the flower, or the star, to sleep.
That is a beautiful occupation.

No. I just can't cope with that sort of thing.

Kinda hoping it was John frum FedEx (or whatever the little beefcake's name was)

TPBM saw some Burner related traffic out there on the road this week. (a friend back home just sent me a picture of an unknown-to-me art car on a trailer.)

Yep. I ate all the shelled pistachios, the beef jerky supply has been raided, the bags of soup were delved into over the weekend, as well as the fruit cups, juices and energy bars. Looks like a wooly marmot got in there and rooted around.

Yes, to both. I was bitten by a werewolf in March and am going to see hit a cow on the way so I have fresh meat.

More reconsilation:

TPBM has eaten an exotic animal.
Yes, it was a movie theatre that sold exotic animal snacks instead of popcorn. Aardvark isn't as interesting as it sounds.
TPBM thinks i should have said: Tastes like chicken.

Not an art connoisseur (assuming thats what you meant)

TPBM wishes they could play Bagpipes.
The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair.

Almost. I was dragged once, nearly kicking and screaming. Seriously, who travels halfway around the world and then decides to eat at the crappiest example of American food?

Though, I wound up buying soft-serve ice cream, so I suppose I can't claim I was entirely opposed.

TPBM fries their own chicken.

Yep. Got that right! I will leave Cody and go up into Yellowstone Park and then south through Twin Falls hitting the Nevada state line at Jackpot, south to Wells and then west to Winnemucca and Fernley. Two days of pre-burn solo camping in the wide open spaces.

TPBM is OK with eating ice cream for breakfast.
