Thanks, Tom and Sheridan.

Yes, we did reduce the size of both overhead sets. Also, by using inset doors rather than the old style with metal banding, we reduced weight too.

Looks like you're having a good time (refrigerator problem aside.) We've got to get to Austin someday...

If you do, be sure to let me know so we can share a cold beverage.

I caught John last time he came through, but missed him this time. Maybe next time!

Tumbleweed has a new home

It was quite sad to see Tumbleweed leave our driveway this weekend, heading to her new home out west. The new owner is very pleasant and I'm confident that she'll take good care of the Caravel.

We're not leaving Airstreaming -- no way! We are going larger and look forward to camping with grandchildren. Tumbleweed was terrific for 3 multi-month trips, but is just too small for our future plans.

You can see our new project here.
