And that always hurts, but like I used to tell my team back when I was managing IT nerds and scientists, (OK, yes, I was one too back in the day. . .) if you're not making mistakes once in a while you're not trying hard enough.<br /><br />Those pulls are good stuff. perfect for mission style and yet still in the spirit of my project, but I went a different route on my pulls which I'll try to justify in a future post. . .<br /> greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15960238893013776630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1719803707314253077.post-14286869528506263442017-02-27T06:35:28.063-06:002017-02-27T06:35:28.063-06:00Following your work.

I especially love the square pegs.

Not pictured are:<br /><br />The commercial pickup-topper with two-part, slide in playroom, including desk, chair and seatbelt for long trips with my young daughter on a 1979 Toyota PU.<br /><br />The slightly taller (So I could sit up straight on the bed/bench) home-built topper on the same Toyota with house battery, water system, bed and kitchenette.<br /><br />The refurbished Alaskan hard-sided popup on a brute of a 4WD Chevy.<br /><br />The home-built popup camper that could sleep 4 (Why I don't know since the only time I had even one additional person on board was when my sister spent a few days in Land Between The Lakes with me.) on a late 80's F150.<br /><br />The very old but lovingly rebuilt soft-sided popup/tilt out camper that first rode in the F150 then on the flat-bed deck of the Isuzu while I built The Turtle.<br /><br />Pictured are (in chronological order):<br /><br />The soft-sided hinged top camper, known as The Turtle, sitting on an Isuzu NPR that I could drive out from under like a pickup camper.<br /><br />The hard-sided popup, known as Stubby, on the same Isuzu, fixed in place this time and using the re-purposed corner-jacks from The Turtle to lift the top.<br /><br />My first Sportsmobile, known as The Ford, on an E350.<br /><br />My second, and current, Sportsmobile, known as The Van<br /><br />(I guess I just ran out of steam on creative names. . .)greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15960238893013776630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1719803707314253077.post-43857633300424053832017-02-17T07:31:57.383-06:002017-02-17T07:31:57.383-06:00This will be an interesting project to follow.
