What's in a name

My playa name is Plan B--and we all need one, or two.
In the rafting and sea kayaking communities I'm known as JavaJerry. I love my coffee.
At ETC I was also the Van Czar and the Toadmaster--based on the river vehicles I drove and wrenched on. The Toad was the green 1976 Chevy Suburban. Rest In Peace old gal.

My Profile

about me
I have an insatiable curiosity about everything, I just wish I could process all that information.

Sure, I like bicycling, whitewater, kayaking, good food, travel, and coffee, but there's nothing better than snuggling up with the right woman as soft music plays in the background.

The Down Side

I have one obvious disability, and a few hidden ones, but I cope and adapt the best I can.
I sometimes struggle to put my words together, especially when I'm stressed, so I'm much more of a doer than a talker.
Sometimes I just need to hide.
I am slowing with age.
But I'm in charge of my mind and body, so please don't patronize me.
I try to do the best I can with what I have.

My Blog

So it was Thanksgiving morning and my wallet was missing. I had no Driver License, no Mastercard, no bank ATM card. I made it through the day. I had enough cash for whatever I needed.
The following day I was dealing with the consequences. I went to my bank to request a new ATM card and get some cash. I spoke with a manager and presented an expired Driver License and a bank statement. He needed to consult another employee since he was new to the job.

As a result of the Patriot Ac... read more

I called my Mastercard company to activate a new card they sent me. I
entered my account number and waited for the customer service rep. When
asked, I provided my name, address, phone number, and mother's maiden name.

The rep then began reciting the details for an account security package he
wanted me to purchase. I couldn't just hang up at this point because I
needed to know that my new card was activated.

So...I interupted the rep after a few sentences and said,"Ya kno... read more

I listened to Obama's campaign speeches, his acceptance speech on election day, and his press conference today. What a relief to have an incoming president that can speak clearly, put together intelligent sentences, and hold my attention.

In April of 2007 I volunteered to help with stage set up for Yuri's night at NASA Ames in Mt. View, CA. I worked with another volunteer named Daniel. He was also a South Bay burner, and we crossed paths again at other local gatherings on two or three occasions.

In April of 2008 I volunteered with set up at a "Day in the Sky" event for special needs kids at the Watsonville, CA. Airport. At the event I asked the organizer if anyone showed up in response to a request for volunteer help mad... read more

I'm being extra cautious watching out for those inattentive drivers while I'm biking.
I'm being extra careful watching where I step so I don't trip, fall, and get hurt.
I'm wearing gloves so I don't cut or hurt my hands.
I'm on guard not to eat any spoiled food or drink any more bad water.

I don't want to impair my departure to the playa, and I hope that my concerns don't jinx me.

But then once I'm in BRC, things sometimes decline to "safety third."
