Day 245

Tuesday, September 4, 2018

More Motorcycle camper! So it is starting to take shape.  The roof swings out and then you raise the ends to support it.   Now you can see how it looks, for those who didn’t understand my exquisitely hand drawn 3D plans! From the back end. From the front. ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 244

More Motorcycle camper! One minor little problem I hadn’t foreseen.  That sheet of plywood inside the lid unfolds to form the roof.  Or it would if it was about 3 inches narrower… So, take the lid off and cut it to fit. The top/lid without the roof section. Then all back together and it will […]

My friend Jim took my old boss Vance and I out to the Air Museum at Malmstrom AFB, MT.  Here is some of what we saw. The Norden Bomb Sight.  This was so Top Secret the bombardiers had to destroy it before they bailed out…after WWII they were surplus junk that sold for pennies… This […]
