Morning everyone!!

Cory .. i thought I was doing bad on sleep. i got a whole 4 1/2 hours last night. I was sweating my butt off even in the air conditioned house. Just isn't getting the house cool with all the humidity. It's not bad (73*), but I like to get it to about 70* at night.

Camper is slowly coming along. After tearing into it, it would have been faster just to take the roof off, peel the skin off and rebuild the frame. REALLY simple design and easily replicated.

I'm at class all week for a product that we use at work quite a bit. Problem is that we've used it for so long without any direction, it's a mess. I'm not sure I can straighten it out at this point, even with training.

Well .. as of 1am, there is now a '98 Saturn sitting in my driveway. Good condition and it was only $250 (family special). We'll see what surprises this thing brings. Wife flew to Denver to pick it up Saturday, then drove home yesterday. The drive home was miserable. Construction everywhere and detours (one detour had another detour within it). The detours in IA were horrid. She said there were detour signs seemingly placed randomly around the road.

Here are some pics of the camper progress. I'm driving home tonight to hopefullly get it finished up or at least really close.

And the search continues for a backup fridge. The one I got from my friend only sometimes keeps things frozen and the fridge part doesn't cool at all.

Looking good on the camper Michael.

I need to find a car deal like that to drive this winter and for short trips during the summer. If anyone hears of something super cheap let me know.
