[working on it]

Shortened my hatch support rods, and inserted the cut-off pieces into the re-purposed flagpole holders to maintain the angle/height of raised hatch, and started the installation of my A/C (60% done). Would've done more, but I think I've got a bug, so I started late and quit early.

Cushions. 1/2 way done. Whew. I'll have a place to sleep.

The 24 inch high lower section of the "Shrunk Bunk" is all finished, complete with the quarter circle swing out for my legs up front. The liftable (is that a word?) 24 inch high section is 3/4 finished, and I have decided to have a 24 x 24 inch wooden roof hatch, that will allow me to stand up, and check out the neighborhood while I am changing clothes. The mystery, swing-up hidden galley is still in the design and engineering stage, but looks good in cereral-box cardboard. It may not look much like a traditional TD, but will be light weight, short and very easy to pull up the mountain passes. I don't think I will be able to see it in the rearview mirror.

With the fenders mounted to the upper section, it might look a bit strange when lifted to the camping mode, because the fenders will be 3 feet above the tires. Oh well, just something else to explain to non-TD on-lookers. A fake pair of ankles complete with shoes, attached to the back and an old hat stuck onto the front, might help convince folks that it is a camper, dispite it's mear 48 inch length. :-) Shasta Dam Gathering, here I come, and I hope it doesn't rain!

Roly, can not WAIT to see that at the Dam! The fake legs and feet are perfect. Maybe you need ruby slippers on them? )

Snowing here today if you can believe it.
Good day to work on the swamp cooler.
