Day 248

Saturday, September 8, 2018

I drove for Avis on Wednesday up to the Kalispell Airport.  There is a new bridge being built in Hungry Horse. None of us could remember when it started.  But it was at least two years ago they began cutting trees along the highway. I hope they manage to finish it soon… ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! […]

Day 247

Saturday, September 8, 2018

I drove for Avis on Wednesday…Glacier National Park was as clear as it has been in over a month!  Most of the forest fire smoke has blown away.  On this side. ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 246

Tuesday, September 4, 2018

More Motorcycle camper! The sleeper from the end. A detail of the end. Looking the other way. The view from within. The overall look.  As you can see there is a small problem: the roof sags.  I will need to put in another 2×2 support lengthwise and across each end.  The ends will make it […]

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

Tuesday, September 4, 2018

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 […]

Day 243

Tuesday, September 4, 2018

More Motorcycle camper! Something to remember when building a camper trailer:  Put the jacks/stabilizers on FIRST. Otherwise you end up doing strange things to get them on. Kind of an interesting photo though.  You don’t want to see this angle while riding, however. The trailer top, vertical. Bike and trailer. Jacks jacked. ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! […]

Day 242

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 top side of an ICBM reentry guidance module. The bottom side. A launch control console.  This is where the two guys sit underground.  Waiting. An ICBM reentry vehicle […]

Day 241

Saturday, September 1, 2018

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. This is one of the radar consoles Jim sat at watching the skies. Why a train at an Air Force Museum? In 1960 they considered basing some of the […]

Day 240

Saturday, September 1, 2018

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. A cabinet full of old “consumer goods” as we call them now.  The hangers in the photo in the top of the cabinet was still here when I got […]

Day 239

Saturday, September 1, 2018

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 […]
