[mikeschn]

Hey Chip,

I've seen several of your designs... which one are you building? This one?



Mike...

[Chip]

Tom definately came up with an approprate smiley,, ,, I must have been in one of my Pickle Juice indused state of minds to even come up wid that nightmare,, Andrew are ya looking,,, figure out how to Seal up this puppy!!!!,,

Mike, nope shape is gonna be semi traditional, just gonna try to skin the cat a different way,, time, money and patience will only tell how far I can take the initial design,, weight and funtionality are gonna be the main factors though,, bare frame, less springs, tongue and axle is exactly 50 lbs,, As soon as I can get really started I gonna take pics to record the process,, dadburnitt I getting excited,,

thanks Tom for the smiley

Sounds like you are on the same game plan as us. The Runlite won't be ready until Little Talbot.

You got a good design on yer draftin' board there good buddy. Why don't you run with that one. You do have the added benifit of having a two car garage

Ross

[Chip]

Hey Ross ,, the duck tail is the one thats gonna get built,, with Petes help and destractions we might get-er-done,, Can you just emagine me and Pete getting into the peach beverage, laying out cut lines and then playing with power tools,, this might get real interesting,, and costly,, Pete's wife is gonna be dragged into the melie as interior decorator,, and a couple other trades are gonna be called upon to see what they can come up with,,
I cant wait to see the progress on the "Run-Lite".. I am real interested to see how the roof goes on and problems ya have or dont have,, since it looks like a joint adventure on the duck,, ya want to sub-contract the cabnents,,, Just kidding ya,, I think ya plate is plenty full,,,,

keep on keeping on,,

Just switched reservations from Anastasia for this weekend to the Little Talbot weekend in February. We stole your old site....site #3. Sorry dude.

Hopefully it won't be snowing when we start the trip to Florida, like it was last time.

[Woody]

Well I go to make my reservations for Little Talbot and guess what happened..................Someone stole my site , looks like I will have to stay in site #2 instead of site #3. HMMMMMM I wonder who it was????? Man, When I find out who did this, BOY is there going trouble. Hey has anyone heard from Ross lately , Maybe he could shed some light on this site situation???? I sure hope it wasn't him I will have to tell Clem the firewood guy about it since those two hit off so well at the last gathering and with their mutual liking of "dueling Banjo " music also. A match made for at least a few really good campfire jokes between "ROOT PATROLS"s

[Woody]

Alrighty then, Little Talbot State Park, might be the unveiling of the latest Woodie teardrop in my little teardrop family. It might not be totally done, but it will be functional, and weather tight ( I hope)

[Ross Wade]

Seriously, batten down them thar hatches, hopefully this will the last one for the year

[surveytech]

hey all!
do you have to be a member of the tearjerkers to attend?
I wasnt able to join but wonder if anyone could attend this gathering.

thanks!

[Ross Wade]

Surveyteck,

No you don't have to be a member of the Tearjerkers to attend. However, it doesn't cost anything to become a TearJerker. Either PM Woody or me and we will pave the way for your membership. Hope you can make it to Little Talbot in February.

We are thinking about coming down from CT to FL during that time period.. what is the reservation situation, should they be made now, and by phone, internet, etc.?
