NorCal Update

February 19th, 2009

The rain finally stopped, and the campground emptied out.  Just me and one other fulltimer in the transient lot.  (There’s a “permanent” lot in the back which seems to never empty out — not sure if some of those rigs even run..)

A number of airstream updates:

- MUST replace the stove with a convection microwave.  Need counter space.

- Either need to rip out the dinette or lower the table by 4″, the ergos suck.

- Need to replace the plywood under the couch cushions with something springy.  

- When it doesn’t stop raining for a week, there are leaks.  I’ve counted 5.  Not severe, but in weird places that are difficult to caulk.

 

The campground upgraded to a T1 last week.  The auth portal is still a POS and forces you to reconnect every now and then, but it’s much better.  Not reliable enough for vidconf or voip though.

Also, I’m happy to report jrand (motorcycle in the january photos) made it back to New York safely.  Chain and sprocket needed to be replaced in Virginia, but other than that and a few random stops along the way, no trouble.  Photos here.

    considering I don't cook, there is ample beer storage in the refrigerator. bike is locked up outside, which has me constantly worried about corrosion..

    Considering the various shortcomings of your tenement on wheels, hopefully bike & beer storage and dispersion is not a problem.
