Newbie John from Mountain View, CA!

Hi Folks!
I'm new to the forum, and teardrops, so I guess I'll try to introduce myself.
I'm retired after 37 years in the Navy (4) and working at VA Hospitals (33).
I've built three boats over the last three years, and I just started my teardrop build this week.
Other than that, I love my Grandsons (3), Art - oil painting and papercut portraits, Music - I play clawhammer banjo and ukulele (the perfect instrument for tiny travel trailers!)
I also enjoy parenthetical comments (obviously!)
I guess I'll go start a build journal now and post some photos.
Hope to see you down the road!

Welcome from another newbie. I lived in Menlo Park for many years, so I know you have some great camping areas closer than most people may think for such an urban area. Enjoy your build experience!

Hi John,
Welcome to the forum. I spent some time in Mt. View off and on when my significant other at that time was in the hospital (brain tumors=specialist Dr.). It is a pleasant community (IMHO) I like to use ( ) also! :lol:

Click on the link below to see what teardropping in far northern Calif. is like. Keep us posted on your build progress. Hope to meet you one day as we love to have live music in our travels.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone.

Here's my build Journal : http://www.tnttt.com/viewtopic.php?t=45112

Dano: Yes, I've been to the uke jam several times. Not always my kind of music, but always fun to get together in a group and sing and play!
