Recently, the weather has been so nice that I have focused on building rather than blogging. So I thought I’d pause to make an update on my progress with the jPod. First, I removed my cabinet on the inside & started over. I decided to make my electrical access box larger (possibly to accommodate a […]
The Camp Cook Forum is having a little competition making dutch oven desserts (see the thread here). I haven’t made a dessert in the Dutch ovens yet so I thought I’d toss my hat in the ring. It seems pretty obvious that I don’t stand a chance though. I also thought this would be a

Recently, I have been manifesting addictive behavior with regard to teardrop & tiny trailers. I was driving home from work one day and shot a picture -with my cell phone- out my window of a 1960’s Chevy pulling a new small Airstream.

My father-in-law just had a birthday. For his 60th, the family celebrated by hanging out with 50 or so of his friends. He is one of those people that I hope I can be when I’m 60. He is an Ironman triathlete and plans to do the Coeur d’Alene Ironman again this coming June, 2009.

The glue dried on the galley hatch & I opened things up this morning. It looks really nice. It fits the curve of the trailer perfectly. I also did some sanding and other fine adjustments. I am pleased with the outcome. As far as this blog is concerned, visual impact is minimal (See: galley). However,
