k so ...wow the bus is alomost done...dont know how that happened but its just about built, I have a couple things I have to put up, and the flooring is half done...and the plumbing /electrical needs to be done, but all those things are pretty fucking small

by the way I suck at installing flooring.....its not perfect, I decided to deal with it...so your gonna have to as well.

other than that
Im trying to figure out how to make it to new mexico,
the car fucking up really screwed my budget plan.
im working on it and I have been known to pull miracles out of my ass.......
but as of right now I ahev no fucking idea how Im goingto pull it off.

 

lol i think we can all live with a weird floor

can't believe you finished all that on your own in like..what..3 weekends? you're an animal bro, like a beaver buildin its dam or somethin ahaha

 

hahah beavers....I like beavers


yeah something like that eh
I wont lie certain corners look ..well some things may not look like what they should....

But I hid those pretty good

the woodstove area looks fucking beautifull \
first time wroking with concrete board, and I learned some handy ways to shape it...it looks awsome

I got creative with the rear bottom bunk, it becomes a big ben if you slideout a seconday frame, and the addition means the fold down bunks rest on its ledge...which saves me hanging a chain or fucking with fold away legs.

the back half has the flooring down I went with red oak
looks cool....though it doesnt join together nearly as easy as those fucking instructions says they do....bastards!


the whole woodstove area doubles when its warms as a huge table/thingy box we can put neat shit on


I still have some little shit to do, but its workable.

I kept laughing at myself today


damin jim im a gypsy...not a FLOOR MAN!!!
but in a jim carey kinda tone.....
had to be there


having a bit of trouble with the regestration, the body type is now listed as MH (motor home)
but the model says bus when its supposed to be B70.0

whcih is annoying me, the mto office worked on it for an hour then I settled with the body styl;e as MH...then went back, seems as If i have to get approval from a higher office, that can be done during the week.

my saftey guyt is MIA
so Im taking it to international the heavy duty truck shop
I got a list of requirements and went over them myself, I think all Ill need is a new back up mirror and a tail light
though it has been sitting and the rotors are kinda rusty but the little driving I did movng it to the storage area cleared most of it up, they dont look pitted so thats the big concern
as long as the calipers are not siezed...and I think they are not...then we chould be good
I do need to patch a rust hole ...but for now I used duck tape and spray paint..that'll be good enough for the inspection anyway

the air emmisions requirements are pretty tight on school buses, new regulations this year, BUT now that its re-regestered.....It should eb a lot easier, It will be a lot easier for insurance once I figure the model regestry out......


this shit is all normal,
its the other shit in my life thats causing me stress.

peace

 

donno what to say man

i should call YOU xena the warrior princess!! ahaha

 

......NO!

angela

 

Seems like this one is gonna be alot more homey then the last, and i dont mean down with the streets, even thought it is a vehicle, i mean like cozey..

 

Whoa, stuff is coming together!

I know I keep saying money is coming... it will, hopefully before you pick me up... I really do want to help!

 

dropped the bus off at the mechanic a half hour ago for the saftey inspection.
thinkin though Im replacing at least one caliper....
not the end of the world but I didnt notice it during my own inspection...but the riders side front brake rotor was hot as a motha after only 4 kms drive to teh shop....

oh yeah
alwasy think your a lot fuirther ahead till you drive and realsie things you never actually bolted to the floor....oops....



still waiting in the fake saftey for teh truck, Im cutting it reall close supposed to be leaving for NM friday afternoon.....
still thinking positive about it though


yeah vana when you can you can, let us know

peace

 

just in case anyone is interrested I saw an article in the news that said that the PEI school board was offloading 9 school busses some good some for parts. don't know exactly when and where though, just thought some people might find this interresting if they were thinking of starting up or looking for parts to keep going.

 

thanks for the heads up, we might need it

checked in with the mechanic after my day at work
hes retarded!

hes saying all this work needs to be done, and none fo it needs to to actually pass a real safety

cept the calpier on the drievrs side.....two hours labour??? fuck off!

I know a much better mechanic who will pass it a lot cheaper, I just went to that one since it was close......and its not legally on teh road yet.


k new mexico is fucked for me,
this bus is going to cost a ton even doing thigs...how do I say gypsesque!!!

FUCK
and I got a freaking ticket in my truck on the weay to work,
IM in a bad mood...
fuckin fuck fuck.....
FUUUUCK!

 

great now I have alex blaming me for getting booted off hillbilles farm, its my fault now.
hes going off bitching about me now, I still havnt met this guy and hes casuing me grief.
fuckin hell what a day!

ive put way more money into this sucker than I orriginally thought i would, I am so close to mailing copies of the reg to the tribe thats kicked in and walk away let you finish the rest...

I dont need this!
linz has been bitching since the get go about my involvement in this.....is this worth it!
FUCK ME

 

k im just blowing off steam, sorry,
Im not giving up on anything
im just frusterated, sorry for venting to yall

but it is good I guess to keep showing these things that happen getting buses together, and the crap that does happen over and over again,
fortunatley its all off the bus, and just random posts on a hippy site

 

Don't listen to alex, it's probably just stress or something and he was miserable on the farm anyway! I don't mean to offend alex in any way but he needs to snap out of his selfish little fit and realise what people are doing for him and that things aren't always dandy. Fine, be frustrated that things aren't what you expected but don't go shit talking, after all they ARE the only people you've got to help you through it!!

Drew man, take a break or something, you need peace of mind more than the bus to pass a safety inspection y'know...Get the bus off your mind for a few days, a week, whatever, don't worry about it man, it ain't a race and we've got time. New Mexico? I'm sure the rest of the tribe are pretty familiar with the old saying, 'shit happens'.

 

thanks angela!

 

welllllll i say if Alex feels he must be catered too then alex pays dearly for being catered too.Such is the life of the wealthy and since he seems to flaunt it a bit then all the more reason to pay for such babysittin,,, i mean catering..

 

I'm just gonna go ahead and assume it's culture shock or something along those lines and leave it at that. People tend to fuck up and say stupid shit under those circumstances and wind up offending the people that surround them in the process. I'm done with this alex thing, given what i'm assuming, he can think and act however he chooses to, after all i ain't the one going to bed with the burden of knowing i've been ungrateful, i'll ignore it and treat him the same way i would want to be treated; with forgiveness.

I'm done with his non sense really, done trying to make him understand and i'll just let him realise on his own, it's gotta happen sooner or later......

peace
angela

 

Ah, I feel bad for you, Drew, w/ all the crap going on. None of it's your fault anyways, though, so I wouldn't worry too much... and clearly funds are dwindling... as soon as I can get a ride into Dryden I'll send some... I hate that I keep promising and it's not happening, but fuck, not much more I can do...

 

holy cow I just talked with steve...cave man!

HAHA I havnt seen him since somewhere in california, hes doing well down in louisina, hes got a piece of land he wants to use as a sort of bus hub for us down there!!!!

SWEET!

man but yeah he cant make new mexico either, seems though that a bunch of tribe is coming up to visit me on wed next week!
this is very cool, makin me feel pretty damn happy!
