Yes upgrading to 2.7 which will fix the lack of minimum dwell available in 2.6. There are also a lot of good changes with 2.7.

It was a long 12 days in the desert.

I helped build a lot of things for the event--

a giant 150 foot saddle span tent like this:



a six story 200x200 scaffold frame building like this but a cube



and a 47 foot bigass geodesic dome like this




My own group's project was a 20 foot tall flamethrower thing and that was pretty fun. I learned how to build a LPG/propane flamethrower. It is actually very simple and quite similar to N20 for cars (down to the tank warmer) or even meth. The only difference is that instead of SS braid or plastic tubing or aluminum tubing, you use schedule 40 or schedule 80 pipe. The choice between 40 or 80 determines how much psi your system can run and therefore, the size of the flame jet.


All went well with the projects and only 16 people died as a direct result of my involvement so I call that a success.

What was a failure however, was the total body wax that I got prior to leaving. Hair regrowth is very very itchy.

Lol at the waxing.

Outtakes from that scene on the extras disc are make-you-cry funny.

I saw a picture of Fae once, and I was so confused as to whether it was a man or a woman.

I have met Fae, and I am still confused as to whether it is a man or a woman.

I've had intimate relations with Fae, and I am still confused as to whether it is a man or a woman.
