CaptainBuilt’s Adventures!

[CaptainBuilt]

Really enjoy your posts, grew upon on the Ohio River watching the tug boats go by.

Where at on the Ohio? I go up there every now and then.

cool,  nice to see you back.  I was wondering what happened to you.  highdesertranger

Thanks, sorry for the delay.

I got off the boat and took a rental home. No van for a couple weeks.

Since I can't work on the van, I might as well brew beer when it's 20 degrees outside. Like any sensible adult would do.

Actually the Kentucky side in the Greenup and Boyd county areas. You would probably be more familiar with Boggs Landing, just below where the Big Sandy River comes in. I used to watch Cardinal Market deliver groceries in their small boat to the passing tugs years ago and had several friends that worked the river.

Headed back to work. I took a pic of the van next to a type of boat I work on.

My YouTube channel if you wanna see more boat stuff. Lots of drone videos.

It's a queen bed 60"x80". 

I was involved in a real tornado. Talk about scare you to death.

Finally bought a Fiamma awning. Black awnings are backed up for 6 months. I got a white one, then painted it black. 

Having 21 year old van issues. The side door wouldn't open. Both cables were broke for in and outside handles.

It's been a while since I've posted anything.

I'm full time now. The van was sold. It kept giving me problems. Since then I've built a 12ft box truck.

It has a mini split, shower, 1000w of solar, 1120ah of lithium batteries, and on demand hot water.

I know that boat. It's the Corps of Engineers' diesel. Largest towboat on the Mississippi.
