The Tear Jerk Journal - The Little Guy and the Tar Baby

A couple of posts back I mentioned that we got a kit off the internet which contained a lot of the necessary parts like windows and door handles. Well, one of the things that also came with this kit was a template for cutting the side walls of your teardrop. Since I will be using a jig attached to my saber saw for cutting the radii of the sidewalls, this thing is essentially useless to me as template. So, I get the idea to tape it up on a wall in the garage next to the trailer and make it useful as a way to get a better idea of the size and shape of what we are going to build. As the wife and I stood back and looked at things, there was a feeling of shock, then horror as we suddenly realized exactly how small a teardrop camper really is.

We immediately changed our plans for that Saturday as it was now necessary for us to track down an actual teardrop and see a finished one in person. (Yes, I know it was mildly stupid to start building one without ever seeing one in person) Thus we made the last second decision to drive an hour and a half to Indianapolis.

Good Timin’ Hot Rods was relatively easy to find. We could see the last two teardrops they had for sale as we turned into the parking lot.





They are called Little Guy’s and they looked freakishly small from a distance. We climbed into one of these Little Guy campers, and were relieved to find that they are not as claustrophobic inside as one might think. In probably the same way that the Keebler Elves can fit a whole cookie factory inside the knot of a tree, the makers of the Little Guy Camper were able to use that elfin magic to fit an amazing amount of room inside this little dinky camper. It is unbelievable.

By the way kids, if you are ever in Indianapolis, you should check out Good Timin’ Hot Rods. And then go around the corner to Edwards Drive-in for the absolute best hand battered onion rings and homemade root beer.

So anyways, we got back and were so confident that a teardrop camper is the right camper for us that we finished building the undercarriage.




And then we went as far as to coat the whole thing with roofing tar to protect it from water and salt on the roads.




I was hoping to bolt the undercarriage to the trailer frame this week, but so far, the tar baby is still tacky and will have to remain hovering over the trailer atop the saw horses for another week while I am away on vacation.



Well kids, till next time. See Ya!

Can anyone recommend the robust MSP utility for a small IT service company like mine? Does anyone use Kaseya.com or GFI.com? How do they compare to these guys I found recently: [url=http://www.n-able.com] N-able N-central script deployment

I'm the kind of guy who loves to seek unused stuff. Currently I am fabricating my private photovoltaic panels. I am doing it all alone without the aid of my men. I am using the net as the only way to acheive that. I ran across a truly amazing website which explains how to contruct pv panels and so on. The place explains all the steps involved in solar panel construction.

I'm not exactly sure bout how precise the info given there is. If some people over here who had xp with these things can have a see and give your feedback in the page it will be grand and I would extremely treasure it, cauze I extremely lav solar panel construction.

Thanks for reading this. U guys are the best.

I'm in a love/hate relationship with digital memory because of how prices are always dropping. I hate buying SDs for my R4 / R4i at (seemingly) a bargain price only to see it become a whole lot more cheaper a couple of weeks later.
