This week, I made another batch of grape juice. Every year I make it. I’ve also added a few pictures at the end of this post. The process is easy: Pick the grapes Remove the grapes from the stems (stems make for bitter juice) Steam the grapes in a few steamers Empty the the steamer […]
I had a few days off of work this week so the jPod got a little work. We’ve had a camping trip planned since last year that we’ll do in a couple of days. I made this trip a bit of a deadline for some work on the jPod. I’ve been pre-warping a piece of […]
I just returned from spending a week in the woods of north Idaho with the senior class. Every year, as part of our school program, we take the seniors, and many of their parents, into the woods to rough it. There is no electricity, no camp sites, no showers, no cell phone coverage. During this […]
As I awoke from a much needed nap this afternoon, I thought about the boxes of fresh produce in our kitchen. I’ve been taking care of my parent’s house while they’ve been gone for the past 3 weeks. Between that, my own yard, and getting ready to teach again, life has been really busy. The […]

Life as a teacher is spooling up rapidly. In the last few days before going back to work, Nathan & I planned an impromptu trip to the Nez Perce National Forest to drive the historic Lolo Motorway. Nathan had done quite a bit of research on the trip before we ever decided to go. I […]
Since the first trip to the panhandle of Idaho, I have done more work on the jPod. There were a few things I wanted to work out after using it. It is interesting how using the jPod automatically rearranges my priorities for this build. One priority change was to get more storage into the cabin […]
Summary of Adventure 01: At last, the jPod has made its first excursion as a vehicle for camping (North Idaho – as readers decided by the poll on this website). In an earlier post, I stated that I wanted to have the jPod weather tight by July 24. This deadline was set so that Senior […]
In an earlier post, I stated my goal of getting the entire jPod weather tight before July 24 (Our first excursion in the jPod was this past weekend. You can read my report on our first trip here). Thus, I have worked night and day (quite literally) to achieve this goal. The good news…I made […]
