I have been putting the interior back into my bus. Got the hammered original rear bumper on, and I'm making brackets to pull the single wheel trailer. Then, on to packing up swap stuff and filling the cooler. Lot's-O-stuff to get done before tomorrow.

It has been interesting here, with bad pipes going through the basement and water leaking like hell, kitchen sink is down, we'll be ready though.

I can come down early tomorrow and help with plumbing if necessary. I'm not a plumber, but I have a bitchin' set of tools.

Were fixed and working water again. Now on to the Beetle, Adam is in town, so it's beer :30 and wrenchin'.

If a brick layer lays bricks, does a plumber lay plumbs?

Took some time driving around with the single wheel trailer behind my bus today. Had to keep lowering the tire pressure to keep the wheel from getting the high speed wobbles after every bump. I think I have it figured out. Just finished wiring up some lights for it, too. Tomorrow I will do some cleaning and then load all the crap in the bus and hit the road.

Destination: East Trent, near the flashing yellow light.

Just got back from the Love Bug's test drive! Got some tune-up issues to deal with....small high speed miss specifically...maybe a bad condenser. Also, throttle won't return to idle...gotta love those Brosol carbs! Oh, and some electrical demons to deal with before Jess can drive it in Sunday to the show. I told her to enter it in the daily driver class...even if it's been a daily for.....one day!

Hey, just answer the question!

Well, Adam and I worked on wiring, got to love 6volt systems that have dirty grounds.
