I went to the NW Bug-Run

It was nice to hang out with normal people for a while

Here are some trailer related items:

They are producing 4/month in fiberglass. I hear that if you get impaled with shards of fiberglass it will poison you. Make mine carbon fiber?

Military theme is popular.

I haven't mentioned my little trailer (the big one is a 35' R-license park-model) because it is half-restored, in pieces. The frame is powder coated the correct beige, and the owner-applied varnish has been striped back to the original red stained plywood. This one is similar, and I was able to get a lead (if Internet can remember it for me) on replacements for the elastomeric snubbers it uses for spring/shock action.

It needs that and refinishing the trailing arms. Then I'm going to get the hitch I have straightened and pickled. I need to make a bumper bracket to suspend it from.
