Thanks Savannah! it's coming in at a good time. Not too long ago I received another call for a 1x housecleaning for next week! Sounds like I'll take a while from the description I got! Boy, when it rains, it pours! The universe is providing! :D

I happy to see burning man news even if I'm not going yet again. A lot of good stuff happening for me right now so maybe I can get home next year.

Wrapped on the el-wire and rode around the neighborhood last night while also wearing my raver gloves. Considering it is a gated 55 plus neighborhood and I was riding at 11pm there was no one out to see the flashing lights - so there were no 911 calls about UFOs :D

Maryanimal's post made me happy :)

Everything is packed and ready to go except the stuff that goes in the cooler. What am I going to do for the next eight days? :roll:

Hydrate! :D
Ride your bike and toughen your butt!
Sleep 8+ hours a night.
Pop vitamins.
Answer questions for ePlaya n00bs (everyone else is off packing . . . being around to answer questions is neat, if you can spare it!)

OK - here is the TMI.

Living in Nevada I definitely hydrate - minimum of 2 quarts a day. I've been riding my bike a couple miles daily but I have no butt to toughen - at least I've been told I have no butt. I average just over 7 hours of sleep getting to bed about 11:30 and getting up just past 7am. I take a multi vitamin every morning. I try to answer questions as I spot the ones I think I know something about. Right now my time is being taken by drinking a 22 oz 7.85% WTF :twisted:

All done. I have 70 polymer pendants, a few "Crime scene do not cross" lanyards for some special people :D and a number of other small items from dust masks to small bottles of Purell. I also have two very special items that I'm not sure how I'll gift them - yet. I know we are just bantering but it is a good exercise to maybe see what I may have missed.
