Doin' the buildout

[MrNoodly]

I think I'm finished with the build-out -- for now. I'll finally hit the road next week, after I take care of a little business in the area. It's like I've spent the past months climbing to the top of the cliff and now it's time to dive into the ocean. A mix of excitement and apprehension.

good luck and enjoy!

Nice work. After the 'shakedown' I'd love to see a video tour.

Can you share more about the cell phone booster? How much did it cost, what does it look like?

 

[MrNoodly]

There are several types. This is the one I got:

There are also cradle types, like this one, that don't have external antennas:

I went with Wilson on the recommendation of an IT friend who is also into ham radio. He has a 50-foot mast in his yard.

nice job mr noodly.  I like.  as far as specific gravity doesn't 1 mean it has neutral buoyancy in water?  not air.  but whatever,  co is lighter than air so it will rise at standard temp and pressure of course.  highdesertranger

Third round of cutting back on possessions today. I should be on the road by Wednesday.

Good luck on your maiden voyage wherever it takes you. Let us know how it's going out there.

Gotta get a slight head start on Labor Day weekend traffic.

 

[daminc]

good luck in your travels.... 

 

[Simran]

Be nice to be holed up some where by then. Stay out of the traffic and make sure you got a spot somewhere behind a bush.
Where is your first voyage going to take you?

First night in the van! East Fork State Park, Batavia, Ohio. A good way to relax after a 5-state schlep.<br><br>

<span style="font-size: medium;">Great build out. I'd love to do something like that.<br></span><br><span style="font-size: medium;">Have you chosen a mail forwarding service in SD? &nbsp;We have been using "My Dakota Address" (<a href="http://mydakotaaddress.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://mydakotaaddress.com/</a>)&nbsp;for a couple years now. &nbsp;Terri is terrific. &nbsp;She can handle everything regarding residency - vehicle registration, plates, taxes etc. plus all your mail. &nbsp;You must visit the state for at least one night with a receipt in order to get your DL.<br></span><br><span style="font-size: medium;">Good Luck and have a ball. &nbsp;The Badlands are a must-see.</span>
