Highway child canada

Hey guys. Im living down in washington DC now. hoping to get a job at the red cross headquaters here. Also its crazy! there is no snow at all!

 

Good luck and have fun, kid!

 

DC eh? too close too bush for my liking. we have tribe in hamilton wo works for teh red cross here.

good to hear from you anyway man.

so I just came back from the bus


its almost done. a few finishing touches and some plumbing and were finished!!!!....well we still need to paint and decorate and shit....still
installed a killer stereo today. very much impressed.

 

good job, gotta have a nice system in the bus! do you just run the stock speakers?

my bus has one of the loudest systems i've ever heard. ive have six 6.5 inch, 200w speakers, each in their own woofer box. and two 10 inch kickers in a plexiglas enclosure.

 

sick man that gmc?

I have 12 6x9 pioneer six on each side of the original walk way. 200 watt amp pioneer flip face cd/mp3 deck no subs yet..plan to mount some maybe 6 10's 3 on each side facing the living area on the walls to the sleeping kitchen area.

dont know but I think Ill need a bigger amp, Im not a big stereo guy....I mean to say I havnt wired many. all I know is as is I was listening to xavier judd playing the dijirri doo and the windows were vibrating nicely!!!


man I really like your front grill, early 80's 70s model? gas or diesel?

peace

 

wow you sound system seems great!unk:

yeah its a gmc, '88, and its diesel.

 

sorry if i missed it earlier in the thread, but do you guys have any idea when you'll be setting off? I'm quite interested in participating but I'd need to tie some loose ends off here first.. would be cool to get to know some of you though, rhayde64@hotmail.com is my msn

I'm only in niagara so getting to hamilton is no problem either

 

I think the driver wants to head out as soon as the snow melts, which is rather soon.,..

Also, oooh, Nigra, I'm gonna be that way soon!!

 

well feel free drop me a line when you are and we can smoke a j or something

leaving after the thaw eh? well it's quite possible I'll be able to pick up and leave then, my main concern is only a few very minor debts that need to be paid off. Shouldn't take long at all. Are you guys still accepting fellow travellers?

 

I'm pretty sure we are. I don't know who our core group is anymore... hard getting a hold of people... plus I keep missing Drew on MSN.

Drew! The driver man said you weren't going on the bus this summer... is that true? Are you staying in Hamilton?

 

whos the driver man now?

I wasnt apart of that vote was I ?

Ill be on and off this summer, my main project is getting land. so I have to stay employed....trying to build credit is bunk..

we need to have a meeting asap.

yes were taking travellers....
yoru going to be by niagra meg? get a hold of me before you do hamiloton is just on the cusp of the niagra region.


I started paneling the walls with pine over teh weekend. slept in the bus friday night during the snow storm.

I havnt spoken with all the tribe lately but I was thinking may 24 weekend wqould be a good start date. we could have a THC party then the bus can set off.


whos the driver, if ones been appointed let me know so I can fill him in on some mechanical info he'll need.


drew

 

ryan...gotcha!!


ok tribe party may long weekend.

all travellers wanting to board a bus and all buses whgo can get here

meet up in SW ontario and head off in caravan,
circle and celebrations!!!!!!!

 

What Town is SW Ontario, (Thunber bay) Or did you mean SE, (Hamilton)

 

Hey Blink, glad to see your still here. just got a new computer and I still like reading your unfolding saga. cant believe this site still had my old account

 

He means Hamilton, Jay

 

perfect.. gives me enough time to take care of shit here and get some supplies etc together. i'll definitely make it out to the meet. even if you guys decide i'm not bus material, i've all but decided to hit the road this summer even if it means going it solo. will be my first time taking off from babylon

as such, i don't think i really have any special skills to contribute, but i'm a quick learner and trying to focus on absorbing as much knowledge as possible before setting out. i'm a pretty quiet guy who generally gets along with everyone (and keeps a positive outlook), so no worries there. i dream of being a writer, and i know keeping a travelogue will give me plenty of inspiration

whatever the future brings, definitely looking forward to meeting you all

 

yeah man sounds good, its good were meeting with people in the same area to begione with anyway....
could always use some help in building this sucker.

were at the point apart from welding the VW to the roof where its just plumbling electrical and finishing left to do.

and paint...

and then all the fabric designes...

then the wvo conversion..

did I say I was close to done????...I mean closerish to done...we will be on the road for the end of may.

yes jay hamilon is south west, thunderbay is north west.

 

Alrighty... children, tribals, gypsies and freaks of Highway Child Canada (did we name this bus yet or what?)...

EVERYONE who wants to be apart of this puppy... everyone who is concidered tribe already and knows it... GET A HOLD OF ME. PM ME ON HERE. I want to know your status... where you are, what you're doing, what you're wearing P) and if you are going to be in Hamilton for the big send off.

I'm having a hell of a time getting ahold of some members over msn, and I hadnt added other people who want to join, been busy, so PM me, kay guys? I've been appointed the task of organizing us Internet-ways... Yikes. So PM PM PM.

Merci

 

so is there any buses comin through bc? cuz i was thinkin of comin along sounds like fun and a good experiance. i would have some shit to contribute to.

 

What you guys are doing is mint! I do organic farming, so the summer is busy for me but winter is pretty dead . I wouldn't be able to do anything like that until after harvest. sooo far away! but who knows.
peace guys
