So I was hanging ten on the waves of the interwebs, when I stumbled across this article, which talked about building a mobile lab from an old cargo trailer:
After sitting in a puddle of drool for several minutes, I began to think of the lab that I'd design for myself. Sure, it's a massive undertaking, and it'd be extremely expensive, but it'd be pretty darn cool. Since I'm going off to France in 10 days, this is probably going to be one of those backburner thoughts that probably won't ever be realized. But since I love thinking about stuff like this, I'm probably going to be designing this for the next few months.
This guy equipped this cargo trailer with a CNC Router, a circular saw, sander, soldering iron, and so much more! He also included a battery bank, which is charged by a solar panel on the top, and by a Honda generator which he fires up when there isn't enough power. It's also got locking drawers, bolted-down furniture, a dedicated Mac, and Ham Radio equipment. I think I've found a new home. But before I decide to live in a trailer down by the river, I think it'd be best to actually know how to use these tools. No sense in getting a trailer filled with a bunch of stuff that I don't know what to do with.
On a different note, mini-term's proven to really not be fun at all. I think I'm going to try to change groups: I'll try to convince them to switch me to "Bike St. Louis," on the excuse that I want to see St. Louis in all its grandeur before I go off to France for several months. Besides, I'm on the cycling team, so it'll probably be a walk in the park. Hope I didn't just jinx it. *Knock on wood!*
