long day at work, my partner was gone so i was left to hold down the fort... A good learning experience? As i expected the shop didn't blow away....

American gladiator is on, pretty funny.

I've been thinking about another bus... I am ready to build one that i am really proud of; pull out all the stops and build up something really nice. I have learned a ton of stuff this go around, most importantly know what to do and what NOT to do. It will be a while before i start the next one, I'll have to let it find me. the next one will include the following:
-Dual batteries
-wired in trickle charger
-isolator and disconnect
-all camping equipment and radio on the second battery
-bay westy propane tank (bling!!)
-propane heater
-engine with heater boxes
-stock trans, lowered one click, with narrowed beam
-safaris
-engine compartment light
-sound deadening material through-out

Pipe dreams, Im a barbers son...

Today we got the Oasis running, new fuel pump, the wiring associated with that, and some tinkering... hearing that thing crank and run was a sweet sound...

LOTS of work still to do, clean it out, electrical work, body work, plumbing work, engine work.... I am hoping that after a month or so it will be in the paint shop but i guess that's up to dad.

Poor thing had cats and mice living in it... time for a new lease on life.

Yuck, tomorrow I have to work. Sunday dad and I are going to mess with
the oasis. Hopefully no fire(s) this time!

With any luck this years noc sale will be graced with not only my bus
but the oasis..... A lot of things have to go right for that to
happen!!!

Today I flipped off an under cover cop who was tailgaiting me (in a
ford SUV,) whoops.

Bad day for the bus, it was not pulling hard.... Maybe it to cold?
Arggggg

Bling bling!

Can you spot the fat-chick?

Nothing more funny than a guy with a lisp trying hard to pick up a girl.

I'm a free man....

In court, this is interesting....

"just bring them to me"

Today i thought of the perfect name for the bus, "The Nautilus." Named after the submarine in 20,000 leagues under the sea (my favorite story as i child, aside from Davy Crockett.) After driving home in the rain and having it leak, scratch that, pour in through the safaris, it seems fitting!

Burn baby, burn.
