Several times in this blog I have mentioned my friend Nathan and the help that he has provided for the jPod build. He is also the one who has a Jeep with a roof-top tent which inspired me to talk with Senior Management in the first place. Ultimately, she rejected the idea and we finally […]

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
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.

Christmas afforded little time for work on the jPod but some work was accomplished. 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,
