Teardrop Insanity is ...

Postby Todah Tear » Fri Mar 01, 2013 3:11 pm

We've all heard that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. I thought that I would put a spin on it and start a game. Begin with the phrase, "Teardrop insanity is ______." Then you fill in the blank anything you can think of that relates.

I'll start: Teardrop insanity is thinking you are going to camp undisturbed in a teardrop :D

Invaribly, I would get guests who want a tour of the camper.

Now, it's your turn!

Teardrop insanity is building a teardrop to avoid notice at campgrounds, gas stations, stoplights...

Teardrop insanity is gamping in the garage because you can't wait for warm enough weather to camp outside!!

Teardrop insanity is hanging on to every scrap of wood or material because you never know when you'll need a 13 7/16" x 3" piece to finish something on the tear and it's 11:53 PM :lol: .

TI is..........secretly drawing design ideas for your #2 build (and hiding them from your spouse) when you're supposed to be working on the kitchen remodel currently underway..........ask me how I know this :oops:

Teardrop Insanity is... Feeling homesick in your regular bed.

Teardrop insanity is planning a weekend camping trip just because the temperatures are forecasted to be around 50* in the daytime, and above freezing at night :thumbsup:

Teardrop insanity is spending every spare moment of decent weather working on your camper while your 90 year old house is being held together by moss and spider webs.
Life is sooooo good.........

For me it is turning off the bedroom light, pulling the covers up under my chin and trying to fall asleep at night, while trying to figure out how things are going to operate without binding or breaking, on my next build. It seems to work fairly well on paper, but the cereal box model, needs some tweeking and refining. After all, a TD only 24 inches high and 4 ft long, has some engineering problems that this old woodworker is still trying to figure out. (Lets see, remove the bike from the roof, lift up, tip out, slide out, and then, goodnight all!)

Teardrop insanity is buying something because you "might" get to use it on a teardrop one day. :worship:
