Adventures in no particular order, but mostly chatter about junk.

Went to the "nice" Mexican restaurant out by the mall last night, it kind of sucked... Amigos is far better... Today we ran out to get Melissas window fixed and then i worked on the bus for a bit. was able to get the the brake lights working (important) and also the fuel gauge. I messed with the gps for a bit and still can not seem to get the aux power to work. It may be time to replace it with a tom tom... i probably will put it on ebay soon, it you know anyone who wants a nice garmin gps v let me know. It works great, I simply like that i can use my mac with tom....

Tomorrow we are going to have din din at the fam's, no plans after that, we may go down to the country and shoot my .22, I have had it for 2 years and never shot it... tomorrow may be the big day. If not, i don't know what we will do... Last year we went to hair of the dog with jonny pantz... it we do that tomorrow we could almost call it a tradition.

I've been looking at dual carbs for the bus... I may round up a set here soon.... with the funky gearing that the bus now has; a bit more power would help. I defiantly want to stick with a single port engine for the torque, but the dual carbs should open it up a bit.... on top of that, nothing beats to look of two carbs on an air cooled engine.....

Dad had a good idea for paint on the bus... i think we are going to go with a white top, leave the middle OG green, and the paint the lower half white... not sure what color to paint the bumpers, probably green... i like the patina look and there is no reason to spend bunch of time working on something that has chronic rust... this bus will be great to fiddle with for another year or so, then I'll find my so23...
