The Bar, Volume #4

[Bin Noddin]

Cheers and g'night all you guys.

Hello Lechat. Hows things going?

[Savannah]

Good Evening, Bar. Shots of Yazi, anyone? Ginger is anti-inflammatory.

I've been really @#$%ing sick since Sunday, when I cut out early instead of leaving with my co-pilot. No 3rd visit to BDC, and no time for a Perimeter ridealong with Yggy. I really wanted to!

Exodus was 6 hours . . . tied with 2011 for my Longest. Could've been worse, but it was really bad when you've just struck camp with a fever and can't swallow even water without weirdly serious pain, and the virgins in the car are having clinical-grade anxiety attacks about the wait and leaving the vehicle to "walk up and see what's going on". (Get back here, fuckers!
I WILL END YOU).

We had to drive 6 more hours after Exodus before we found a motel with vacancies. Thanks to Cedarville for their all night gasoline, caffeine and BBQ.

The second day of driving was better. I've managed to sleep since then, and squeak out an order for Chinese food over the phone, so things could be worse. Still exhausted though. And still sick.

I think I'm going to fly in for my 10th next year, and share an RV for once.

Hi, Savannah....I can't remember if we got a chance to meet, but I saw you working Tuesday morning with my sister, Martiansky, selling ice. Gorgeous costume, btw.
Anyway, we had an eight hour exodus. ...and I've had a nasty sore throat, too.
I feel your pain. Too bad I don't care for ginger....ibuprofen anyone?

Cheers!

Hi, Mohairs!

How was the bike?

Aww, thank you!

Heh. Yeah, I am definitely on more cold medication and leftover electrolytes than anything else. Feel better!

[Mohairs]

Hi, Mohairs!

How was the bike?

Hi!
My sister's bikes were great! We brought a trike and a fat-wheel Beast.
They both did great on the playa.
The trike was nice for frequent stopping.
And the fat wheeled Beast went over the dunes like it was floating...no sinking at all.

And you'll let us know how it does in snow?

Brrrrrr....nope.....

[unjonharley]

Your damn welcome.. ((L&K))

[Martiansky]

By the way, I'm convinced there are at least three of Knowmad. Every time I turn around, no matter where I am, there he is!

I am sure you are correct on this Captain because it semed that he was everywhere I went, too!!

Canoe, I will try the Beast in the dreaded snow this winter and let you know how it works!

[gyre]

Snow angels or it didn't happen!!!

*staggers in, grinning -- shouts:*

15 fan-freaking-tastic days!

*stumbles off to bed*

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....

[ygmir]

*slides off war rabbit, leaving him to forage and hunt, limps into bar, waves at friends*

wow, tired is not a good enough word.
I made one good friend this burn, and new friend, and for that I'm grateful.

*heads for IBBOD, spins and falls........I'll just sleep here*

[tinymystic]

So this is where the party after the party goes! Hugs all around!
Where is the wine? No one told me the after burn body was going to be a painful one Need to rest for a few days, bottle of ibuprofen and white zinfandel should do the trick!

So great to meet everyone! I feel so blessed to have a new family and good friends!

now, no one wake me, I'm sleeping til Saturday! Cheers!

[Patsh]

Yikes! Lots of reading to catch up on... think I'll save that for tomorrow!

We (my sister or I) will check and get back to you.

[goathead]

Great Year

Mixes dark rum, ginger beer, crush of lime.

Dark and Stormy

Cheers.

[Elorrum]

oh, I want a one month break, and then a do-over. all the stuff I forgot, all the stuff I overcomplicated, I want to fix it now, and just enjoy the way I could do it right.
like that'll ever fucking happen. It's a rough mix, and no polishing. but next year.... next year....

[knowmad]

Today I was given my DPW shirt!
Hell to the yeah!

[Aurelia]

Seriously the best burn ever !
and less is more because the playa provides
but I am really chilling for a long time no matter what the weather does
xoA.

[Patsh]

Good morning, Bar!!
Looking forward to a busy day, sorting, cleaning, washing the car, resting....
we're expecting big-time monsoon activity today, which will (hopefully) cool things down a bit. It was so hot yesterday that I didn't leave the house at all, except to collect 2-1/2 weeks of mail. (bills... yuck)
Here's to a very good day for all of us, after a wonderful burn, getting smoothly back into this 'reality'.

Spike that coffee!

[delle]

Spike that coffee!

Ha!

Maybe after I get some groceries into the house. Ramen should be a choice and not a necessity.

Of course nothing can be done until I figure out how to dis-attach this cat from my body. (I think he missed us)

[Lassen Forge]

--yawn--...

G'Morning... damn... what time is it? WHAT DAY IS IT? Oh hell, I think I overslept the burn!!!

Seriously, good to be back... the year off was STELLAR, but time to get back to the business of being a royal pain in the ass to the philistines and drama queens...

I sure didn't niss the drama, nor do I miss doing the annual gear cleaning, tho!

OK, how about a little Corretto for your morning espresso? Our recommendations:





Have an insane day!!!

[Elorrum]

oh the dirty gear. The fun part's over, the fun planning's starting.
Get out the hose, spread that dusty stuff all over the lawn.
more and more dust is on the inside of my windshield, and less is on the outside.
Clean it or hide it.
