Registration! El Fiesta!

Starting at 0530 this morning and ending at 1930 at the house... and at 2020 I am sitting down. Whew. Registration was excellent... Thanks Elisa.. great job again. Quick... right through.. enough time to chat..

Can I get a camel or small burro to carry the water? I really liked the water and I drank two before I left the tent... LOL... And yes!! Its all water weight...

For those that do not know.. The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta's Pilot registration started tonight at 5pm. I got there a bit early to take pictures and get in the way. Then I snuck back out to stand in line. Its a massive amount of fun. So tonight's blog is going to be short. I have ( Invader Zim voice ) Many Things To Do!!! and zip time to do them in. So .... anyone expecting a clean house and a weed free yard.... So sorry... no time. You will find a clean bed and bath and food around somewhere... but dusting... and getting past the crazy tree/bush thing at the front gate... well we don't have Sherpa's either so your on your own. Make base camp near the post box and shoot off a flare.. or text. Your choice.

Here are some pics if they come out....

 Pilots Registration before the crowds.

This is a Pibal which will be spaced around the field to tell the Pilots where 75 feet is ( its not at 75 feet yet ). No going below until over the scoring area. Not the bottom of the balloon.. the top of the red balloon.

 Captain Spectacular and moi... Snarking it up with our awesome table sigh... ala Elisa! LOLOL


Things to do.... Banners for basket... tags for propane.. tags for launching... tags for baggies.. Even a tag for the Pilot... what we need is a .."If this person seems lost..check card and point in right direction" sign.


Okay.. I have to get up early tomorrow morning.. so I will try and put up a few links.... Tomorrow.. Work.. Field if possible and shopping for crew victuals.

Well since the Govt closed and everyone is furloughed the Navy had to stop where they were and get off the ships... well.. Oops..

I am not sure this is a good idea or a bad idea... Its very worrying that a lake has changed location due to the bulge..
