Camper project update

Yesterday was kind of a bleary day, with threats of rain. I didn’t want to put out my saws and such to cut more framing but I did get the skin nailed to the framing where the first window is now sitting and cut the excess skin out as the window is much bigger than the one that had been there. I want lots of windows in the back were the table is going to be so that I have good views. Even the heavier staples that I got from Rick wouldn’t go through the skin so I used galvanized nails. It isn’t actually set yet, I need to go get some sealer first. After I go read a lot of labels because sealers are always changing. I’ll find something I really like at a reasonable cost and then it disappears so I have to find another product.

One statement that is always important to me when I’m looking at sealers is “sticks to wet surfaces”. If it will do that it will usually do the job I want it to do. Even the glues I make won’t do that, they just never let go if I use them on a dry surface in the beginning. Anyfuckingway, (I had to swear to see if I could offend someone) I only worked on the camper for about an hour. I also split some firewood up for Helen, took a walk, went to look at materials again and had a battery put in Helen’s watch. And watched a movie.

Oh, I took my camera to take a picture of three of the materials I’m considering putting on the walls. They ‘speak’ to me, I seldom buy anything unless it speaks to me. Even a candy bar, I’ll look at all of them, one of them will be saying “Eat me, you motherfucker”…. LOL… There are three in my roll up desk behind me still waiting, but I just haven’t felt like eating them yet. I’m thinking maybe the top one in the picture for in the table and seating area. The boats one for around my sleeping area because it will go well with the beautiful quilt that Laurel Ann made for me. And the native one for between the two areas.

I’m looking forward to getting it to the point where I can start taking it to the beaches and mountains and spending my days in peace and quite around all these monkeys. Weather permitting of course for working on it. Once I get it done the weather won’t make any difference, as I’ll be as snug as a bug no matter where I go in it. When I’m done I’ll put this old trailer up against any new one for warmth and comfort and ease and expense of heating. And get this, it will be lighter than it originally was. BBC

Colts tame Bears for Super Bowl victory…… And how many people died of starvation and in wars while these over paid monkeys where fucking around? Just asking. BBC
