Posts over the next three days -



This is the rear of my little camper. 
Last weeks project was installing higher tail lights so the brakes and turn signals will be seen at eye level. 

I'm camping for the next three days in Hollywood Florida. I'm getting my Accordion tuned to a slight Musette. Yep, I fly rockets and play the Accordion. No wonder I couldn't get a date in High School.

So for the next few days Internet could be spotty. Blog posts should happen - I hope!
Scroll down for Post #4 of the Quasar build.

Knoxville Camping Trip


I spent the last week to and from Knoxville, Tennessee. My Sister was showing one of her champion Bulldogs at a specialty Bulldog Show at the Marriott Hotel.
Here's my leetle rig at the Forsythe, Georgia KOA after the first leg of 400 miles traveled.

At the welcome center in Tennessee I spotted a Manatee in the window condensation. If others see the Virgin Mary in a bank window, I can see a Manatee in cold glass.







Here's my Sister showing her Bulldog, Rooster.
This was a big show with 35 dogs in this single class. She didn't make the cut.







We were right on the edge of the 1982 World's Fair property.
The Sun Sphere was the symbol of that Fair.













In the Marriott was this "designer" Christmas tree. 
My Sister thought it looked like the Blob from the 1958 SciFi movie. She's being attacked!
I thought it looked more like a vertical Jello mold.




This was my only purchase on the trip.
After my first night in Georgia, I bought a small heater at WalMart. 
Temperatures were near freezing in Georgia and Tennessee.
After two cold nights I slept better in a warm camper.


Tomorrow I start the build of the new Estes
BLUE ORIGIN / NEW SHEPARD.

Camping Update

I'm at the KOA just North of Knoxville, Tennessee
I have Internet at the Campsite! Spotty, but I have Internet.

Whoo it's cold! Last night below freezing.
I have to find a small ceramic heater today.

Camping Trip - Nov. 21 - 26

I'm driving to - then camping in Knoxville, Tennessee. The farthest I've been in the Leetle Camper, shown here.

I'll be visiting my Sister. She is showing two of her FIVE Bulldogs. (Yep, Five Bulldogs!)

So, Blog posts might be spotty. I've got plenty of posts in draft form. If I find Wi-Fi, I'll send them out!

Second Camping Trip



Two nights, second leetle camper trip to far away Kissimmee, FL! 
I'm staying close to home while I figure out what I need and don't need.









My Svengoolie bobble head navigates from the dashboard - Eyes on the road!






Bought a pool noodle to prevent a trip. My cable TV line and electrical run through the knife split noodle. Hobby skills used here!


I was once the closing act at the Fort Liberty Dinner Show on Highway 192 .
I took a drive to see the old haunts. Nothing remains of the old Fort.

Down the road are the Old Town souvenir stores. This was one of the weird offerings. Gamma Fish that "gently" chew off your callouses. Those aren't my feet - Photo taken with permission.

First Camping Adventure

 

Well - I'm Camping!

First time in years in my new leetle box. I was a little nervous about towing, backing in and setting up - but all went well!



I (proudly) have the smallest camper at the KOA. The picture below shows a big one behind it for a size comparison.
Tomorrow I go to tour the Cape - camera in hand.

Don't expect regular build posts for the next two days. Their Wi-Fi is worse than the cruise ships!
