Welcome...and may I say, a very sly, deliberate use of John Wayne in avatar. Good taste goes a long way, in my little handbook.

**Rick** · 01-23-2011, 05:06 PM

Welcome Home. And thank you for your service. To distinguish between us, since you are Partrooper Rick you could just use PRi....no, never mind. I don't think that will work.

LOL - yeah had that thought ... and No

R2 maybe - but kinda close to R2D2 - maybe I should change my av. Haven't done that in about 5 years I think. Time to adapt!

Quick ?

So I'm in the middle of building a mobile CP - my own personal super-A-Team-esque Airstream Camper from &@# - and I'm going to document it - good forum for that?

When I get done - I'll have a 1970 airstream that will float, run off the grid indef (solar), and will be able to use 3 fuel sources (plus wood stove for heat).

The tough part will be the solar array.

Float? Oh, the boys on the Great Lakes will love you. Do you know how many of those things go down each winter?

Yeah, pics!! We like pics.
