It's been a while, so ya'll are probably wondering what happened to Project Teardrop.

Scout Stiff is another name for Working Stiff, aka Spiderboy.

The Princess Helper is Bittygirl's teardrop forum name.

Here we go:
Rose emerges from the cocoon.

At the campsite. We drove about 60 miles. Nothing fell/blew off. Whew.

The reason for the trip. This was the last "family" campout before Scout Stiff crosses into the Boy Scouts. The boys here are 6 & 7 yeas old, and getting a neat lesson in Flag ceremony.

The Stiff carving a mountain from a bar of soap.

The old fart carved a sailboat. By the end of the trip the boat had acquired gun ports, a stern gallery and poop deck and a forecastle.

Another view. I took more than a few shots like this. Its' sooo cool.

The cross slope was wicked. The left wheel here is up on a 4x4 block.

As you can see on the far wall, the 12 volt electrical is not done.

The Princess fell asleep early. Unfortunately we had the door open and she rolled alot. Right on out onto the ground.

The Princess shows off her soap "camera" and her Barbie fashion bandaids.

Yea! You completed right on target & what a beaut the Rose is!

Poor itty bitty girl rolling out....but she really is styling the barbie band-aids.

Looks like a wonderful time PE & I just have to say what wonderful parents you & your Mrs are.

By the end of the trip the boat had acquired gun ports, a stern gallery and poop deck and a forecastle.

The engineer in you never rests does he???? :)

Thanks for pinging me to this!
