UGH
It just gets more and more humid and makes it harder to accomplish anything.
I modified my spreadsheet so that only "critical path" items count against the deadline. Having done that I find that I'm still nearly a day behind. (A non-critical item would be, for example, a shade structure.) To make matters worse I still have to do all the other usual pre-burningman things (making sure I have all the stuff I need, packing, prepping bicycles, etc, etc, etc and etc) and we still have to finish our new steel dome. To make matters slightly better my brother might be able to help me get all this stuff done (as long as his so-demanding girlfriend lets him work over here for more than a couple hours every night).
Also, I bought a generator yesterday from Northern Tools. I wish there was a Northern Tool somewhere in the Twin Cities. I hate having to drive to Burnsville or Blaine to check out their goods as I really do like that shop. A nice salesman named Jim S. helped me select the McCulluch 1800 Inverter (1600w running watts, 4 hours run-time at full load, 1.3g fuel tank). I don't have a good frame of reference but I think it's noisier than the comparable Honda - but since it was $350 cheaper I don't mind too much. After failing to get it started with some bas gasoline last night I dumped and refilled the tank with good gasoline and it fired right up. The "Smart-Throttle" quiets it up significantly when there's no load on it. After Burning Man I'll be able to either recommend for or against it.
