With the time change come new ambition and enough evening daylight that I am motivated to get the last details done.  I had to modify my fenders for better wheel access and I have discovered that my polyurethane finishes suck.  It is a new spring and I have my motorcycle out already.  It is 77 degrees here in Ohio in March.  Unbelievable!

It's a cold one tonight.  Got the first coat of stain and polyurethane on the second fender of the pod.  A regretful death of a young friend hindered progress for the week.  Tail lights are mounted and the eyebrow for above the door is nearly ready to attach. My original plans called for a maiden voyage (pre-escape) in October.  We may be doing this in January instead.

Another Year Has Slipped Away

Wow, it's November already, again!  The pod is nearly ready to go to the scales.  Cabinet doors were hung two nights ago.  One more fender has to be built.  and a hatch latch of some kind needs to be found.

We were planning on a maiden voyage in October but now I think December, which is OK, that's what the pod is for.

Let there be light!

Finally cut in the large window last weekend.  It is amazing what a large picture window does for the pod!  Finishing off the interior and building the fenders is next in line.

Summertime!

Looks like summer is here.  The May rain has pretty much stopped.  The SKpod has a nice finish on the sides and the roof does not leak.  Working on the kitchen area and finishing the interior.
 Bought a cool little umbrella shelter last week to use at the Warrior Dash in Logan.  It will look great with the pod.

Could it really be Spring?

Finally a weekend without rain and cold.  The SKpod received its skin this weekend.  Green steel top with Mahogany stained Birch sides.  The door was cut in on Sunday.  Monday night we cleaned the garage for shelter from thunderstorms.  The window gets cut in next then I start framing in the window in the door.  This promises to be a busy week.

I've been Hatched.

Got the hatch on the pod this weekend.  Wasn't clever or even unusual, just a hatch, but it fits, it hinges and it does the job.  Hopefully, when I'm done, it will be waterproof as well.  On to the rear end and the lamination of the sides.  Just a few more days without rain, please.
