Thanks, Nikki!

Nikki finished painting the sides of the bar. It looks awesome! I'm
probably going to move the battery box inside so it doesn't block the
art.
I still need to make a sign for up high. I've decided not to mount
the solar panel on the top, after tipping the topless bar on the
slant of the driveway. Fortunately the playa is totally flat, but
the panel would still be a lot of weight up really high on the sharp
turns.

New Tableware
by ccons @ 02:33:41 - [perma-link]
La, Johnny, and I went to Bloomingdale's today in search of more grown
up accouterments for the table. La and I dropped a bunch on flatware,
dinnerware, and linens for 16. We debated getting enough for 24, given
that's the most we've seated for a meal, but couldn't bring ourselves
to do it. :) Sadly, more than half of the dinnerware won't arrive
until October, but that'll be just in time for the holidays!

For the curious, the dinnerware is Rosenthal Thomas Loft White, and the flatware is Ginkgo Norse.

(not) For the Shorties
by brian @ 18:30:42 - [perma-link]
A few days ago Lesley came up with the idea to build a mobile bar to tow behind our bikes at Burningman. After some brainstorming, I started scrounging craigslist for Powerwheels. Tonight I walked th bar around the block, under its own power.
The front end is the rear half of a Powerwheels Quad. I have it hooked to the front of the cart and it steers like a wagon.
At the stock 6V, its a comfortable, but not leisurely, walk to keep up with it. Boosting it to 12V brings it to a brisk jog, once it regains traction (it totally burns plastic when I shift it to 2nd;). I'm hoping to get a variable speed motor controller on it before Burningman, but I'll mostly be towing it with my bike, so the quick pace won't be a problem, and the power assist (to my electric stingray) will be fun.
I have a regular car battery on the hitch. That should last all day and night on a full charge.

Lesley, Josh and I took the boat out for the Portland Poker Run.
Lesley took this picture shortly after the pace boat set our heat
loose. We did pretty well considering we were the smallest boat in
the pack. More later. We're off to the dinner/party/awards banquet.
