I'm baaa-aackk..

Computer went thud for a day or two, so no updating for me. Back now. Yay!

kshandra continues to prep for Burning Man. I know she loves it, but it's driving me nuts. My urge to take over and do a load plan for her is nigh-overwhelming.

GURPS is here! WOW Very high-quality book, hardback, full-color art, well-written and edited, and they've made the system truly universal now. As I read through the characters section, I came up with weird ideas and looked to see how I could do them. Each time, I had an good grip on the mechanics within five minutes.

Heading to work in a bit.

Oh, for some reason the "fix" of the computer ate my LJ client. It opens, but vanishes into the ether. Must see if Kiri can figure out that one.

If you want to write up a load plan for me, you are MORE than welcome to. Just understand that I may not use all, or any, of it in the final assembly. ;-)

Cool. Where's the packing list?

Um...in my head? :-P I'm waiting to see if dafydd makes it online tonight, because I want/need to ask him if he wants/needs me to bring the shade structure I just borrowed from C&P tonight. That's going to make a BIG difference as to how much I'm putting in the car and where.

Apart from that, here's what I know is going in:

• Two tents (mine and E's - he's flying into Reno, and is already checking an arseload of stuff)
  
• The army duffle w/sleeping bags
  
• dafydd's Therm-A-Rest, rolled and bagged (about the same size as the tents)
  
• My folding chair (can you look in the front closet and tell me if the sofa's there, or do I have to ask dafydd if he has it?)
  
• The gazing ball from yohannon
  
• My clothing duffle (about the same size as the sleeping bag duffle)
  
• The cooler (which I want closest to the wagon hatch so I can dump ice in it when I leave)
  
• The card table (under everything else, naturally)
  
• A couple other small bags and/or boxes of foodstuffs (I expect to put these in the passenger seat)
  
• Two rugs (folded & rolled, no bigger than the duffles)
  
• A box of solar lights (about the size of a box of printer paper)
  
• Bag of bike decorations (Powell's canvas bag)
  
• Bag of tentstakes, etc. (tanker's bag)

I'm sure I've forgotten something...ask me again when I've had the chance to take everything out of its packaging and actually get an idea of the space I need....

I'm sure I've forgotten something...

...like the NINE GALLONS of water sitting under our dining room table.... Duh. And my mailbox.
