Had the FOAMIE idea came a bit earlier - It would have been foam. I wouldn't have to mess with fiberglassing seams or coating it all in epoxy. I really think that I could have gotten another 400 lbs off the total weight - the total weight for the green lantern is 1160 loaded - and still keep WAY under 1000 lbs more like 700lbs Imagine that!

700 lbs. surely would be achievable .. Your most excellent design would be so EASY in Foam ... saw your floor and it's framing ... Cool !!!

GPW,

I feel your pain! We passed 100 degrees also. At least the humidity was only about 50%. Still too hot for me. I bought a box fan this morning and to give it another try.

Take care,
Tom

Tom , with humidity that low , you can probably use a swamp cooler ... Schmaybe ???

ok so now that the anthony trial is over, what shall i do with my days? i suppose i could set the a/c up in the foamie and start sticking the jeans on the walls huh?

and here is an issue i have been debating. buying the floor to the new bigger foamie or buying a bike. i have been wanting a bike for many months now. i would not ask you which you would buy,, cuz i think you would lean towards the floor. :lol:

well i am going to have another cup of tea and then decide if i am going to hook up the a/c.

Get the bike !!! You can always get a floor ... :roll:

Put your AC in ... I think we're all going to need it this summer ...

Buy the bike! You might run across a free floor somewhere.

Geesh, no bike riding smilies

ok fine. i was leaning towards that bike also. :lol:

Bicycles are very useful exploring trails , or for us , just riding around in new places ...

small basket helps if you have to get/carry anything ... That or a backpack ...

by **eaglesdare** » Wed Jul 06, 2011 2:13 pm

yes i am going to get the bike. wasn't sure if i was getting a basket or a baby seat. i rode one on our cruise that had the baby seat and it worked great for carrying lots of things, more than a basket. plus we do have a baby here that could take a spin with me. double duty on that one.

i do have to get a bike rake of some type to carry it with me. that or see if it will fit in the tear.

hmm, maybe i will go look tonight. was going to wait til friday. but i could use some time out of the house.

looked like a storm was coming along, lots of thunder so i did not get out to the jeans. figures, no rain.

We've been so dry here. The grass is crunchy. We get the clouds and a few spits, and then it heads your way. I think most of the time, it ends up south of you.

Yay for getting the bike!! Probably easier to lay a towel on the bedding and put it chain side up inside the tear. I end up carrying my bike in the car (take the front tire off).

Are there nice riding areas where you live? I can plan to take my bicycle when I come up to visit you and do the great backyard camp.

Hugs,
Patricia
