I like that 'Home Built' decal! I'll bet a lot of people would like to have that on their td/ttt. :thumbsup:

Love your new web site

Paul great job on your new site. I am definitely going to buy some signs from you. Cant wait to see your next camping pictures. We are starting to talk about a trip up to New England states next year. I need your expertise on routing the trip around great campgrounds on the way up and back. Keep up the great work. Cliff

Did a few things today..

I modified this old Coleman Picnic Stove, got it working, so I made a box for it to sit in.

Image

Since the fuel cartridges for these stoves are no longer available, I documented my modifications for others that might be interested in using one of these stoves.

I bought this net thing, it's meant for garage organization, but it was the right size for what I wanted. I even have room for another if I decide I like it enough.

Image

It's kind of hard to see in this picture, but above the license plate is a cheap little light I bought. I really hated the way it looked.

Image

So I bought a drawer pull at Lowes today, and used it to hide the ugly light.

I didn't make it camping this weekend. It was my son's birthday, and family dinner, etc, made it impractical. I was going to take a drive up to tearstock this morning, but I partied late last night, and didn't get up till after 11 am.

That kind of bummed me out.

Love the sticker, would be good to make them available for various years.


The drawer pull is genius, the sort of thing one takes for granted on here, with all the problem solving that goes on.
Greetings from England.

Hoping to get it all done in time.
