04-07-2005	1/3 of the Chinook	Mike	$500.00	Note that Mike paid Alec $500 for the Chinook instead of $420. What I think should probably happen is Alec give Mike $80 and call Mike's share $420, otherwise the accounting gets complicated.	05-07-2005

10-18-2006	rotating bad rim	Sam	$25.00	that issue is gone. we could have rotated it ourselves, however the rim frank got for us looked like the one. Even the tire guy thought it would replace the pucked up one. PS. Jerry says we really need to rotate the tires or get another alignment. I guess the tow is out in the front again.	10-18-2006
10-20-2006	curtains and fixins	Alec	$70.00	Vegas red and mostly blackout, but still lets morning sun in so youll wake your ass up. Also a shitload of velcro for affixing the curtains so they dont drift and swing open, and grommets etc.	10-20-2006
10-20-2006	solar panel	Alec	$275.00	A 75 watt solar panel for the Chinook. We should install this thing so we don't have to charge the batteries all the time. I have the charge controller that Sam gave me that we can use for now, but I was thinking we should get a TriMetric battery monitor ($180 but worth it).	10-20-2006
10-06-2006	Wipers and Plugs	Mike	$27.26	Alright, where'd this f-n Cligett come from?	10-27-2006

11-29-2006	vehicle registration	Sam	$63.00	renewed by phone, complete with the $11 late fee. Gus said he got his sticker in less than a week. So wrybread please let us know when it arrives.	11-29-2006
12-12-2006	Upholstery for damn near everything	Alec	$70.00	Lots o fur to cushion and protect the Cligett balls as they lounge around the Chinook. Should absorb the sweat quite nicely. Why wear a fur loincloth when you can just put fur on everything you might sit on? That's what I say. His balls were starting to get callouses from hanging around on that old 70s sandpaper upholstery. We must keep the Cligett balls nice and soft.	12-12-2006

12-16-2006	belts, calipers, hoses, for jerry this weekend	Sam	$214.04	These are the calipers and extra parts that jerry needed to do the overhaul this weekend. He said that he would finish up today. We will still owe him for his labor. Alec perhaps you can pay his labor fees?	12-18-2006

05-11-2005	inverter	Alec	$35.00	A little piece of shit 200 - 300 watt inverter from Costco. Pretty much any would do, ideally one without a noisy fan. I figure the only thing it'll power is cellphone chargers and the occasional laptop, all of which are very low draw.

Stuff We Covet:

Date Added	What	Entered By	How Much	Notes	Edit
05-08-2005	Trimetric Battery Monitor	Alec	$180.00	Snazzy battery monitor, tells you very detailed (1/100th of an amp) and accurate power consumption and charging in digital readout, as well as battery voltage and percentage full. Also shows time until batteries are dead at current draw rate. Really nice to have and would look oh so snazzy next to our current control panel. It's the absolute standard in solar charging systems, everyone loves them. I've had one in Lester for about a year now and couldn't live without it in Lester. Here's a page on it, but note that we can find a better price. page.
05-09-2005	external speakers	Alec	$0.00	Some speakers outside. We could just put the little RAdio Shack speakers in the outside doors? Would be nice to have speakers on both sides... I HAVE A PAIR TO DONATE - sAM
05-09-2005	carpeting or linolium	Alec	$0.00	Recarpet or swap it out for linoleum? Either way I think the driving area should be carpeted. We can use the carpet in Lester as a model. I SAY WE GO ASTRO TURF - sAM
05-09-2005	kitchen stuff	Alec	$0.00	A good teflon fry pan, bowls, etc. Thriftshop here we come.
05-09-2005	fold up chairs	Alec	$0.00	Those fold up chairs for outdoor lounging. I DONATED ONE FOLD UP CHAIR - sAM
12-13-2006	Mopeds....	Alec	$300.00	Would be nice to have a couple of decent running mopeds... Nothing but Puch for me.

Total for all the coveted stuff = $480

Chinook Projects:

Date Added	What	Entered By	Notes	Edit
05-09-2005	Roof Rack	Alec	Should we build it out of aluminum to keep things light? And ideally we'd use the existing (crappy) roof rack's foundation as support.
05-09-2005	TUNE UP!!!	Alec	We need to do a tune up and replace all the crap we might not be able to get down there. Keep it from not starting some morning out in the middle of nowhere because of a clogged fuel pump.
05-09-2005	deadbolts on front doors	Alec	A realy great security system is to take off the window cranks and put a dead bolt on the front doors. Unless you climb through the broken glass of the window, you're not getting in that way. True people can still get in if they *really* want to, but it's a really simple thing to do to make things much harder in cities and during storage. Trouble is it's hard to find a sprint activated deadbolt.
05-09-2005	moped racks	Alec	Moped racks. For the front, we can just use the little loop style moped racks. Is it possible to get one on the back?
05-09-2005	get the moped running	Alec	I have two bikes that can go with the Wookie: a Puch which is great but needs a couple of things replaced due to rust from riding on the beach at low tide, and a Honda Elite 80cc with a slightly bent frame. The Honda is much heavier and ideally would go on teh back (it affects driving when it's on the front).
05-11-2005	install inverter	Alec	Install a cheapass Costco 300 watt inverter somewhere in the AC electrical line. I figure just patch it in, and the existing AC outlets (I think there are two) will be live. Have a remote switch to turn the inverter off and on so we don't need to look at it. Ideally we could remote mount the inverter's status light next to the switch so we don't leave it on accidentally.
