How to build a teardrop trailer.
Progress on the jPod has been slow since summer & it is tempting to be depressed about that. The only difference is that I am trying to keep up with teaching in addition to daily life. Yet, I am happy to have a job even if it distracts me from the build. A while back, […]
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.

With about 5 feet of snow in a week, I spent most of my spare time shoveling the driveway, street, roof, other people’s driveways & roofs, pulling people out of the ditch, & generally wishing I could move without aching. Plus,
Well it has finally happened. I had a few spare minutes to sort through some of the tools and scraps of wood enough that some progress could be made on the jPod. Moving to a new house really messed up my build organization. However, the move also provided me with a safe wheat-free environment &

Senior Management and I have had a busy couple of weeks. We bought a new house, moved to it, and the day after moving I had a nose surgery. The best news is that when we moved the jPod to the new house, it went really smoothly. I hardly knew it was behind the Jeep.

There has been little progress on the jPod. I got sick with E.Coli and a broken nose (surgery soon). Senior Management and I are in the process of moving so the jPod has been a bit neglected. The exciting bit though is that the new house will have a two car garage that doesn’t flood
