Nothing new to report. I was going to take it camping last weekend, but the park was full. The week before we had rain, and it was Spring Break so I didn't get to take it then either.

I'm planning to install the air conditioner this weekend and camp the weekend after that.

Next winter I'm going to sand it down and paint it with a two part polyurethane. I was going to skin it in aluminum, but I think I'm going to skip that. It will be a little lighter with paint.

I'm also planning the remove the exterior spar on the top because it's no longer needed with the interior bracing.

Lisa is moving down to the area this summer so I should have a camping buddy that's close. I'm off in the summers, so I'm hoping to put a lot of miles on the tires. I'm very pleased with the little setup.

Not at all - one of her hippos died though. Someone had tossed a small Nerf ball into the exhibit and the hippo ate it. It eventually got lodged in its intestines and killed it.

She got tired of $12/hr as a manager.

She can get a $6,000 sign on bonus here in Houston + $1,000 for a Masters degree.
