No real progress to report

Had a airsoft game here yesterday so got nothing done on the camper. Took a fall early in the day when stepping over a log. Had a snag catch my pants leg and put me on the ground. Landed on hands and knees and bounced back up with only a few new back pains. Over the day the worst of the lower back pain (which had been with me for a week or so already) went away. Then last night my right elbow started hurting. Rather badly. Kept waking me up all night. Still quite painful today. Feels just like the tendinitis I had years ago after breaking rock with a 10 pound sledge all day. That time I eventually went to a bone cruncher and he bent my elbow backwards rather forcefully and got the tendon to snap back into place. Since then I have had a flare up several times then a few days or weeks later go away, but never had it in my right arm. Hope this goes away quickly without intervention. Can’t even pick up a coffee cup without wanting to drop it.

Guess I will try to get out and see what I can get done on the camper. Wasted the morning staring at the computer screens.

Don’t think I have posted this link before but am too lazy to check so here tis. Easy and simple way to form plexiglas or other plastic. Good stuff!

This is going to be the camper that I base my next project on. Not gonna try to make a copy but rather use it as a basic guide. Nice design and well laid out.

Welcome to the Crocodile Tear Website

Interesting site by a guy that built a teardrop variant on the cheap. Worth the read if you are looking into building a camper of any size. Lots of good info tucked away here and there.

CAMP OVEN COOKING IN AUSTRALIA (COCIA) — WITH ‘THE CAMP OVEN COOK’ – DEREK BULLOCK

Interesting site (other than the irritating java critters crawling on the screen) about Dutch Ovens and cooking with them Australian style. Gonna have to try some of the Dampers as well as some of the other recipes soon…
