gridloreWe are getting closer!
Went out and did some needed shopping for both the Burn and for life. First stop was REI, where the plan was to buy hiking socks, but Kirsten realized we could get a much better deal at Steven's Creek Surplus. Then to Five Guys for lunch (yum!) and BevMo. We have finished purchasing the fluid portions of our camp dues. Also, I found that Pabst makes a nonalcoholic beer. This will help on the days I'm hanging around camp doing my carnival barker/storyteller routine, as Rosie's Bar serves PBR. My cans won't be a perfect match, but they'll at least fit with the theme.
On to the Omaha Steak store. Good thing we decided to eat first, or we would have bought a cow in pieces.What we were after their tender steak bites, and grabbed one of each flavor: Original, Teryaki, and Peppercorn. I'm thinking these will be good noms in line. But seriously, we could have broken the bank there. Back in the car, and after a fueling stop, we hit Harbor Freight. We had coupons for a single-piece tarp to cover the Free Trailer Beowulf when it is in storage and for a strong stepstool to replace the plastic one currently in use. I had nightmares about that stool breaking and one of us bleeding out on Playa. Also grabbed a grommet set and a couple of ball stretch cord sets, as Kiri has plans for securing our shade structure.
Added to the deal, two free LED lights! Always useful. But we had one more . . . no, two . . . make that three stops. The aforementioned surplus store where I found a six-pack of good walking socks (which will be good for both Burning Man and my job) and a new t-shirt and tank top, both with ARMY on them. This both fits the theme of the camp, and I can wear them for gym visits.
Getting tired now, but we circled around to the big & tall store, because Kiri needs more tank tops herself, and then to pick up a hanging shoe box rack thing Kiri found on a local sharing board.
At REI I also picked up a new insulated water bottle for work and a little 65mlbottle of Habanero sauce. Because all food is edible with enough heat!
So, what's left? There's still some more food to be precooked and vacuum-sealed, We need to get everything going into the trailer into the trailer, and I still need to get my greatcoat cleaned. One more bit of news, a headache rack has been ordered for Darby.
The Man burns in 28 days.

Date: 5 Aug 2019 01:36 (UTC)I will admit, I’d like to go / purchase the memory of having gone several times and thus knowing anybody there to talk to.
But then, I wish the same for a lot of things.
