Dims ask, "where's the Repub plan", Answer, refer to 2005 when the
Repubs warned about the coming problem with bad mortgages and Barney
Frank said that Fannie Mae was sound so as to protect his lover who
was an exec there. We cannot forget all the money Fannie Mae and
Fredie Mac gave to Bozoma for his campaign, more than any other pol.
Dims, this iz yur depression, you caused it and now yur gonna pay.
Bozoma knowing he has totally screwed the economy decides to distract
everybody by trying to take over health care and run it into the
ground like he's done to Wall St. He's gonna run it like the Post
Office. Will we have nurses "going Obama" like we have Postal workers
"going postal"?
So, you really think Bozoma can run healthcare well, if'n you do, I
got a great deal on a Florida condo for you.
I'm sure you may not realize this, or at least you can spin it somehow
blaming the liberals, but Bush's regime was the pork presidency.
OK, I'll lay off the politics for now.
Right now am repairing the leak on the camper. It leaks around the
ceiling vent because some of the screws missed the wood entirely. Fix
involves epoxying an extra piece of wood so the screws have something
to grab.
Next project is to fix the lights on my Tolman Skiff trailer. I
thought I was good at DC electronics...NOT, although its sorta hard to
do anything when its dark out and you are sweating so much you cannot
see.
Next project is to put the new bimini on the sailboat, this should be
easy (yeah, I've said that before).
Then, sailboat has to be sailed from Shell Point, Fl to Carabelle to
be hauled to have her prop strut replaced. Although only 36 miles,
constant thunderstorms make it dicey (call me a wimp, I am afraid of
them).
Then I gotta put a new kicker mount on the Tolman.
Maybe someday, I'll get around to fixin the second MiniCup sailboat
and making a new sail for her.
Did I ever mention the cabin in WY that needs to be rebuilt..........
Have you posted any pics of the camper yet? I'd like to see it!

Not yet, let me get it back on the truck and then I'll take some
pics. From a distance, it looks good. Up close, you begin to see it
is an amateur effort. The siding that I bought from an RV supplier
looks good on the sides but on the front I had trouble bending it over
the curve. Buying the windows and doors on line worked well and they
look good. I still have not entirely figured out the jacks. There is
also a lot of wasted space between the camper sides and areas in front
and behind the truck bed wheel wells. I intend to put in some round
boat type screw in ports to access those to access those areas but
have not ordered them yet. I'd guess that total cost was maybe $3000.

Wow, that's not bad at all!

Reason for building it was that every time we wanted to go camping it
was a major ordeal finding all the gear and loading it up. I thought
that maybe having gear in a trailer like a pop-up would make it much
easier so a few years I suggested this to my wife. GOD, you'd have
thought I'd suggested castrating myself she was so derisive of the
idea and has not allowed me to forget how I almost turned into a wimp
by wanting a pop-up. She has this notion that camping is so macho and
pure outdoorsy and using an RV is for geriatrics and pansies.
So, when I started building the camper, I told her it was just to
carry gear in but soon she saw it had sleeping room and started
thinking about camping in summer in FL if I would put an AC in it.
Then she got into thinking about it and soon she was making all the
cushions. Now, she likes it. She actually put memory foam on the
bunk although I hate the stuff. I just wanted 2" regular foam cuz I
like really hard surfaces to sleep on but she insisted on 4" foam and
then 1.5" of memory foam.

I had a hard sided pop up that I loved! It was PVC plastic in place of
where canvas usually is, with little sliding plexiglass windows, etc.
I'm actually looking to get another pop up, probably canvas because I
like the tent kind of feeling. I like the pop up for just what you
mentioned, all the gear is there. Before I go anywhere, I pop it up
quick, take a look around, put perishable food away, close it up, haul ass!

My Dad was quite resourceful and had a vivid imagination. He made a
care topper camper for our 60 Plymouth Station wagon that laid flat
and unfolded like a book. making a porch over the passenger side with
aluminum poles to hold it up and we assembled a tent. at the camp
sites dad got lots of compliments. That's back in days when people
actually "camped" at camp sites.

My dad built a "Vista Dome" camper in a 1948 panel truck. About 1953. Made
Life Magazine. Used Plexiglas from B-26 bombers and heated in the oven to
soften and form to the frame. Fold down bunks, etc. Neat camper, not as
nice as my truck camper, but was an interesting vehicle.

My uncle built a pop up camper that worked like a champ! He started with
the rear end out of an old Ford pickup, built a frame, then a box on the
frame. He sewed all of the canvas, and being very frugle he bought a big
bag of zippers from some manufacturer going out of business. The little
windows had zippers of every color imaginable!

Have you posted any pics of the camper yet? I'd like to see it!

Not yet, let me get it back on the truck and then I'll take some
pics. *From a distance, it looks good. *Up close, you begin to see it
is an amateur effort. *The siding that I bought from an RV supplier
looks good on the sides but on the front I had trouble bending it over
the curve. *Buying the windows and doors on line worked well and they
look good. I still have not entirely figured out the jacks. *There is
also a lot of wasted space between the camper sides and areas in front
and behind the truck bed wheel wells. *I intend to put in some round
boat type screw in ports to access those to access those areas but
have not ordered them yet. *I'd guess that total cost was maybe $3000.

Wow, that's not bad at all!

Reason for building it was that every time we wanted to go camping it
was a major ordeal finding all the gear and loading it up. *I thought
that maybe having gear in a trailer like a pop-up would make it much
easier so a few years I suggested this to my wife. *GOD, you'd have
thought I'd suggested castrating myself she was so derisive of the
idea and has not allowed me to forget how I almost turned into a wimp
by wanting a pop-up. *She has this notion that camping is so macho and
pure outdoorsy and using an RV is for geriatrics and pansies.
So, when I started building the camper, I told her it was just to
carry gear in but soon she saw it had sleeping room and started
thinking about camping in summer in FL if I would put an AC in it.
Then she got into thinking about it and soon she was making all the
cushions. *Now, she likes it. *She actually put memory foam on the
bunk although I hate the stuff. *I just wanted 2" regular foam cuz I
like really hard surfaces to sleep on but she insisted on 4" foam and
then 1.5" of memory foam.

My Dad was quite resourceful and had a vivid imagination. He made a
care topper camper for our 60 Plymouth Station wagon that laid flat
and unfolded like a book. making a porch over the passenger side with
aluminum poles to hold it up and we assembled a tent. at the camp
sites dad got lots of compliments. That's back in days when people
actually "camped" at camp sites.

I "camp" at campsites. Just got back from a weekend camping trip to
Minot Maine. The first night we got up there it poured so hard I had to
abandon the tent and take the dog to the car. We had tornado warnings
and we were camped on top of a hill.

BTW for those interested. Jessi had her best race so far and stayed
"literally" on the back tire of Christina. It was mostly a single line
track and Jessi bumped her tire a couple times trying to dive under her
but in the last lap got swamped by a "B" class rider and came in 6
seconds behind Christina.. She's coming, like a freight train.

Had a serious problem at the line... Started Jessi's bike at the gate,
looked down and there was the shift lever, sitting on the ground...
"YIKES"... "TWO MINUTES, TWO MINUTES!!!"" I called to the official and
started running. Cameras and sweat pouring off me, I ran for a 10 mm
wrench (snap on of course... and we did manage to get the shifter back
on seconds before the gate drop.. It's a good class though, all the
girls on the line had their hands up to hold and my camp mate is a NEMA
official so we did have a two way right there to contact the gate...
whew...

Camping, I dunno... Used to really like it but next year I want
something hard over my head...

Rowdy Mouse Racing... Jessi goes brrrrraaaaaaaaaaaapppp
