we sold the 1968 airstream overlander, made a set of interior pics to document all the work we did. 

here is Brian and what is now HIS 1968 overlander parked where he will be living in it.  I think he occasionally plays at uncle billy's brew'n que, not sure which band, go check 'im out and congratulate him on his new home.

it was priced for a quick sale as we already located a  replacement.  we had decided the twin beds in the middle floorplan would give us more sleeping room and I'll set with indoor dining table so we can eat indoors if weather or mosquitos interrupt the outdoor festivities.  we also kept the bright orange awning to use on the next project.

I learn something with every airstream renovation and I hope to get the next one just right.  we agreed that if this one doesn't work for us, we quit.  we'll just stay in hotels. 

our new to us, but older, 1964 overlander has the sought after "door within a door" and some really cool jalousie windows.

we wasted no time cleaning and removing the ugliness.  have started to remove the faux wood vinyl sheet flooring and the mini blinds that had sort of melted.  hooked the water up and found two plumbing leaks.  two quick trips to breeds (hardware store two blocks from us) and I had replaced a couple brittle plastic fittings with brass ones that should last. 

I bought a side of steelhead and kat made french fries.... a LOT of french fries.  the pic above is the leftovers.

one of our favorite interior mexican food joints has stepped up their sunday happy hour game, azul tequila.  the "loco deal" shown above has three shots in it and is just $6, they also have a very potent mexican martini; $9.  they now feature a happy hour menu of discounted food offerings; sopes, ceviche etc.  but the true star of the Azul Tequila menu is the cochinita pibil!  WOW!  the perfect combination of savory (annatto marinated slow roasted pork), sweet (fried plantain) and sour (pickled onions) with just enough spice for the win.
