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. I think a teardrop trailer cereal for kids would be awesome. The marshmallow […]
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, […]
You may think that the title of this page has something to do with the jPod. Well, you’re somewhat right. It is that time of year when a teacher gets a few days off for spring break. Of course, as it is with most teachers, I have a lot of work to do on my […]
Well it is about time I got around to this. I have been meaning to add features to this website for some time. Here are the newest additions/changes to www.overlandtrailer.com: New Header Image – I needed an image that actually had a picture of the jPod in it. When I started, it was only an […]
The high school that I teach at has an annual Spring Arts Festival. For the evening, the student’s creativity is put on display. There is quite a list: welding, photography, quilting, cooking, pottery, painting, gymnastics, instrumental numbers, singing, and much more. This even pulls in about 500-700 people. For this year’s festival some co-workers & […]
This past weekend, Senior Management treated me for my birthday. She made a spectacular breakfast Saturday Morning & scheduled the rest of the day just for the two of us. It was my first day off in 18 and a welcome change from daily life. Sunday morning was spent with family & then we all […]
I hadn’t thought of making a performance teardrop until seeing this video clip. I’d like to pull one with a high performance vehicle just to say I’d done it. Caravan Racing
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, […]
I just got back from a camping trip for a week. While I was gone, Sr. Management & one of our neighbors continued priming the jPod (see Body:External). While I was gone, I tested out the Camp Chef Camp Oven. Nathan and I made Tea on the stove top while baking cinnamon rolls & gluten […]
I have had to develop many of my methods for construction. I have also had lots of input from other tear builders. However, I think the most innovative craftsman out there is a guy named Joe Harmon. He is building a car out of wood that will go 240mph. The jPod is not a car […]
