Fluffy is still at the shop.. and the shop is not giving us any clue on when/if she will be able to drive on her own. Seems her catalytic converter and some of the sensors around that are the problem

not much the 7 of us  can do at this point other than wait…

even though most of the duaneswhirld  crew doesn’t come in to tomorrow, we headed to our groups storage bin to pull out some  of the stuff we’d need if we do manage to get out to the playa to catch some  of the early admittance build week

Our srargae container is right next tot eh Grand Sierra.. a  minutes drive or a very hot 10 minute walk .. I chose the walk

Its always exciting and a bit horrifying to open the door to the container..  It’s always jamed full of a tnagle of bikes, hexayurts, coolers, camping gear and other left behinds. THis time it was much cleaner as soem of the team had come out for a cleanout over the winter..

even still its a chore to find wha you need.. but the smell of the playa dust is strong and reassuring as we pull the stuff we need out and put it in the trailer.

Aside from that .. I spent the time finishing the fire docs and printing all the lights and fire stuff out for the fluffy manual.. the stuff is about an inch and a half thick at this point !

We’re now 3 days later than out plan .. and i’m beginning to wonder if Fluffy is gonna make it..

but hope springs. eternal..

the hotel is now filling up with dirty hippies (like us).. so there are no rooms. I called our friends Sue and Jim   who moved out here over covid. Jims out of town, but Sue let me camp over there.. It was great catching up with her and seeing their beautiful new house in the hills over reno.. I also got to know their cats !

nite all, nite sam
