Ok, so this weekend was not as productive as I would have liked. It started with trying to get out of civilization too quickly. I had unloaded some items to make room for building materials. So I'll just say some things I needed to work with were not with me. Like for instance only one tool bag, my suitcase solar was still tucked away in the storage pod, that handsaw (that I looked at and thought that might be handy), the booster battery charging beside my desk.. that's close to everything. <br>So we got to the camp area on Paragon Rd beside some of the backwaters of Cave Run Lake.<br><img rel="lightbox" src="

Oh well I'll just.... nooo the suitcase solar is still in storage. <br><br>And oh yeah that hand saw sure would be handy. <br><br>I know I'll run the van and use that battery! Nope, van wouldn't start<br>Fortunately, there were some kind folks that gave me a boost, remember the booster box charging beside my desk?<br>Went to town replaced battery that I have no clue was how old. Also picked up an alternator since mine was squeezing out only 10 volts.<br>I'm set I think. Shoot, the other tool bag is the one that has the box-end wrench I need.<br>Well time to work on other projects and not let small things get me down.<br>So i started on the insulation panels for the tilt out windows. Making template to cut matching curve.<br><img rel="lightbox" src="

Layla was not real pleased with this arrangement. She couldn't figure out how to get up there to sleep on my ankles like she normally does. Later around 2 or 3 in the morning we moved into the van. I got tired of her "nose-butting" in the back through the bottom of the hammock. <br><img rel="lightbox" src="

Got lots of good ideas can't wait to get a van and get started. Which is what brought me to Mississippi from Kentucky for the next couple of months. I hope to make a little extra to buy my van.
