What I need to do is map things out as for camping places.
I've been looking online and it seems that most places are provincial which means screaming kids which I don't want to be around.
Camping, fishing and peace and quite are my things.


Well depending on when you are going it's really nice around here free firewood outhouses and no charge can't guarantee the non screaming kids but they usually don't stay long...all depends on where you want to go

I needed to exercise the generator so I started it up and made a cup of coffee. Ran the diesel heater for a little bit as well to make sure it was still working.

Those are '59 Caddie taillights. I turned a rocket shaped body on the lathe, and routed 2 grooves into it and slipped in fins. Ran it through the band saw to give me 1 flat side for mounting. Coated it all out with epoxy and thickened epoxy fairing to fill the body out smooth and shot it with automotive base/clear. When you step on the brakes, makes it look like the rocket is taking off.
