Waiting at the Welders:

Just a picture update folks:

Here is the hummingbird waiting at the welders to be modified for the new Vardo I'll build.

If I can't make Gulf War, I'll take those two weeks I have schedule off and work on the Vardo and perhaps take the train to Oklahoma City for a few days. (But, I'd really rather go to Gulf War.)

Happy Yule Y'all!

HeHe

I got the title in the mail today.

I am invincible!

The right trailer at the right place at the right time

I have finally gotten the hummingbird trailer to the welder at the school.

HUZZAH.

He'll be working on it over the holiday break, as he said that he wanted to have something to do.

He has all my build plans and my phone numbers, both my cell and my mother's number. Which will really be interesting as she doesn't know what I'm working on. Long story. :)

And my new Library Assistant reminded me that I have a whole staff of really nice maintenance staff that I can ask to check my work. 

I fear however that my dream of attending Gulf War may be toast at this point, I still do not have anywhere to do the build and it has taken me so long to get to this point I know I won't be able to finish on time. Plus I will lose two weeks for the Yule break and a few weekends as I have to attend ALA, etc.

So, I'll find a place to do the build*, work on it on the weekends, and then I may take my vacation and spring break and work on the Vardo trying to finish it with the two weeks I'll have then. 


The reasons to get it finished as quickly as possible grow daily.

*Which is starting to annoy me as my landlady said I couldn't have trailer on my rent property, yet she is allowing the people who rent a house from her down the street have had a horse trailer parked there for at least a week.

I really want a Vardo

The Texas Ren Faire was wonderful. I met lovely people camping out, and bought a fabulous new winter cape.

Then the weather changed, a cold front moved it and with it rain.  So it rained, then it rained, and finally, it rained some more.

All of my bedding and clothing got soaked. The small tent I have on the back of my truck is not large enough to put any kind of heater in, I had to give up and pack up everything and head out early before I froze.

And I think to myself, if only I had a Vardo with a roof over my head and a small cod stove to warm the space up.  Sigh.

There has been a major shake up at work this week, so my trailer, which is still at my friends house, will be moved to Rick my welder early on Tuesday or Wednesday. 

Updates will be sparse until after Yule at this point.
