Bill and Marijo,
Thanks for the welcome and the invitation to Tearjerkers. Shaow Catcher also thought that would be a good idea. I'll do it.
I love tha color of your Teardrop. Sandy and I did a Dune Buggy that color back in '04. I thought we should do the Teardrop like that but she said it was time for a "Cool Change" (hummm? sounds like another song)

Well, I've been busy loading pictures into my album.

Also I joined Tearjerkers Buckeye Chapter but have not posted anything there yet.

Thank you all for your help.

BobHenry, I'll just have to keep working on that. You make it look so easy.

Little Bit

Hi. My name is Little Bit, and this is how I got my name.

I am a teardrop camper, made from a 70 year old design. I am homemade like most teardrops and functional as a camper despite my small size. I am light and easy to tow and when you get to your camp site you don't have a lot of work to do setting up camp. Just get a fire going and enjoy.

You've heard of people being small and having a big heart, well I am small and yet I have a big room where you can come and rest for a while. I also have many storage compartments and when you get up from your rest you can go around to the back and open the galley. There you can make a pot of coffee or tea and just set a while.

First things first. I have had a complete make-over. I used to be a tent camper that sadly had seen too many winters. I thought I was going to be used as a utility trailer and carry heavy loads the rest of my days. My former owner only used me in that manner.

The people who bought me had a different plan and soon I found myself being torn from stem to stern. My wheels were relocated and my old weathered floor removed. Soon I found myself being fitted with new sides. I couldn't imagine what was happening. After the sides went up I got a roof. Can you imagine, a roof. And insulation and wires going here and there. Oh my. I have a vinyl top and a power vent, a stove and cooler as well as electric lights. I have a queen size bed inside and a full galley out back. Yes sir, I am very functional as a camper.

The best part is, when they are done using me they put me in a room of my very own. I never had a room of my own. They call it a garage and I do share it with a snow blower, but it is wonderful to me.

Back to my name “Little Bitâ€

We could sure use a little global warming here in Ohio.

Hi tim
It has been a long winter. I added up 135 in. of snow I moved around up at work.
And now a wet spring. I had most of the garden in at this time last year. I did have to run out a few nights to cover stuff up though.
Now just sitting and watching the grass grow. I wonder when we will be able to get it mowed and not get stuck
We are ready to get out camping. Didn't get to last year. Only a few times.

Hey Erv, Yea, it's been a long winter. I still have a few things to do to our camper before we can try it out. Got the wife looking forward to an outing in Little Bit.
The wet weather has provided us with a good crop of "Morel Mushroons" though.
Look forward to seeing you on the trail this year

Tim
