Anyone need to borrow a floatie this wind? I'm finally bringing one to compensate for my lack of water confidence. I have a few to lend.

I came home with a bonus fire extinguisher. It’s not Girts’s or Andre’s. Whodunit?

That was awesome to participate in ya'all. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help on any of these slack channels <3

<!channel> Oct 3-4 – Work Weekend #4 – light & easy. Plan is to install a weather station so we can get more accurate temp and AQI readings directly from the property. Mack is on board with this. We’re buying her the station in lieu of camping fees, it’s about $350, so bring twenty bucks to chip in. Maybe we’ll also make some more little arts to hide in the woods, like those little knick-knack boxes Chuk put up last year.

when do we need to let you (who?) know by?

Specs for the weather station, for box building… Main station is designed to sit on a 1-2" dia round pole. It has u-bolts to attach itself to that. It has to sit on top. It is shaped like a 3-pointed star, each arm is about 7" long. The AQI sensor is 2.75 W x 4" L x 2.75 H. It has a little solar panel on top, so it also needs to sit in the sun. It doesn’t have any mounting hardpoints, but it has plenty of slots and holes for ziptying. The instructions say the on-board batteries will last 2 years and I just ordered lithium AAs that should extend that. I think we don’t need land power, so no on-board electronics box.

can we rave if we go up or do we have to be good dinos?

i’ve been a bad Micropachycephalosaurus

I’m bringing a van, so that I don’t have to set up a tent and such. Hope it’s ok since I will need to park somewhere that can accommodate the height - ie. No trees overhead. I know some friends had camper vans last time so am assuming it’s ok?

AQI forecast is unclear, but seems to be similar to Labor Day weekend…worst early in the mornings, clearing as the winds shift mid-day. And the readings in Laytonville – worse than at MM.

Opinion: these fires are far from MM Power outages along the highway have been an issue in previous years during fire season, but this year power looks good along the 101, even in Santa Rosa.

<!here> AQI in laytonville is high and rising. We're canceling this weekend with possibility of trying again next wknd.

Laytonville AQI will be pretty good this wknd, but also it'll be a bit rainy and a bit cold.

Yup! Taking friday off

Confirmed this weekend with Mack. We’re a-go. Would like to get a more accurate headcount so I can ask for a campsite….would love to camp lakeside, but we might have too many?

📣 We’re camping at PORTALS + MILL POND 📣. Portals is the camp with the doors and windows stage, located at 39°39'49.1"N 123°31'40.2"W. Mill Pond is a short walk away, but NO DRIVING to it.

Are we bringing lumber?

Work weekend #4 projects • install weather station • winterization (@cool-pizza-44770 will elaborate what this means) • anything else?

<!channel> y’all got your floaties? ping me if you want me to bring an extra for you!

Hi Friends, I got some fun stickers made a couple weeks back that I was going to give out at the work weekend - but alas, I wasn't able to join in the fun b/c of my bootcamp course starting. If you'd like a sticker, send me your address and I'll mail you one. 🙂

thanks for a great weekend! for those of you who i talked to about the music video i made ... enjoy

Big ups to @square-country-13088 for making the weather station a reality!! Can we get a link to that hot fresh live updated weather from mendocino magic? Also - everyone should send him $$ to help cover the cost of the thing (it was $300 all in?)

we can use the AQI sensor to know every time Mackenzie smokes a cigarette

2022 Work Weekend Project: Waste sorting stations & signage • revamp Central Kitchen sorter • revamp Stage House sorter • new sorter at Jennifer • new sorter at Gate House (lower priority) • swap out laminated paper signage for aluminum signage that Mack has onsite Potential dates: • May 20–22 weekend is available, though somewhat distasteful to weary travellers • June 10–12 is not • week_days_ are more available and there is internet on site if we want to remote work; Mack will send speedtest results to me (and says she’s sent them to @square-country-13088?); this could open up something funny like May 23–25 • A potential ideal time would be the week after #big-stick-2022, since the two properties are pretty close to each other, but this could be a logistical challenge (I’m willing 😄 ) right before the June 10 weekend • If we can’t get this done by June 10, Mack says to scrap the project for this year • I told her I’d at least get build plans and updated signage designs so we have the project ready to go whenever we want Post-BSS22 idea • Sometime in June 7–10, 2022 (Tue-Fri) • If we do the post-BSS22 plan and there is stuff/art we used at BSS22 that we want to use for SoEl, Mack says we could leave it at MM(!) until we return in September. This only works if there is stuff we don’t want to use between June and September, of course. • The event June 9–11 is a total buyout of the property with first-time young event producers who Mack says exhibit “immature noncommunication and lack of followthrough” who could use our seasoned party-throwing wisdom and thus are less likely to balk at us building/installing some shit at their party • Since it’s a total buyout, our team would camp/build at Gate House side yard or stay at Main Lodge as MM staff and then transport built projects to their final locations

Hi! Who is in for a work wknd May 20-22? I said yes before but now am having some cold feet bc I want to focus on other art projects that are due very soon after this date. It could be fun to go up there Fri, build a trash shed Sat, then leave sunday though! Who's into it?!

Hey y'all - we doing this work weekend starting Friday? I'm still 💯 in - please let us know fearless leaders! @clean-army-21719 @square-country-13088 @cool-pizza-44770
