First off, we’ve been training for the LIVESTRONG Challenge coming up next weekend.  We are planning on cycling 45 miles through the Hill Country west of town.  We checked out the course and agree that it’ll be a great personal challenge, but more importantly, a way to make a small difference in the fight against cancer.  You can see our fund-raising page here:  http://austin08.livestrong.org/steve.

We’ve been taking advantage of the Vintage Trailer Supply sales to purchase two 30-lb aluminum propane tanks (free shipping) and more recently purchased the remaining curved glass windows we’ll need to finish the weatherproofing process.  Along with the glass we purchased some new glass clips and the metal trim that was added to the ’68 models.  We’ll probably get started on the installation process next weekend when the parts arrive (good thing we have a full work day before the big ride).

In the mean time we’ve cleaned and weatherstripped four of the windows (two curb-side, front and rear).  We have the small curved window next to the door, the window that currently has a room air conditioner hanging out of it, and the front street-side window.

Once the windows are complete, we are debating our next move.  We still have a few projects to finish in and around the house.  Knowing the Airstream will be sealed up eases our minds however we really want to dig in to the floor and see how extensive the frame damage may be.

We’ll have more here in a few weeks when the remaining windows are done and we have a plan for the next project.
