NOMADICISTA

Thanx for the update, I was real curious about how the site migrated to NZ... I had visions of flotation airbags, telephone poles and some crude sail taking Sharkey across the waves in perhaps an articulated Eugene city bus which he pirated in Mapleton, and had outfitted at the old Umpqua Marine sit...

FYI I have received spam from him.... I am moving back to Lane County, so I contacted him for some info, (which I got), he referred me here. I will be reparticipating again, as whazammo, and replacing my old moniker PeterB ..... Still trying to understand what went on here.... is there a chronologic...

I come back here and see that the situation is still normal... ? Last time I visited, Sharkey was sniffing 55 gallon drums found in the yard, fighting rats, and living in the rain somewhere along the coast highway. Now I see (in my absence) that he has been rear-ended (in Eugene ?), had a sick horse...

Do you have a flute ? Working boats most of my life I really have been exposed to a lot of (and different types of) RATS ... living in Crook Cpounty, We had Sage Rats and Rock chucks to contend with, Opossum are really a rat too ! Irregardless, one thing I do know is that poisoning them is the "...

Well, I am the "new kid" here, but, I must chuckle.... Lane county drove me nuts...so, I moved to then primitive Deschutes county, they...drove me nuts , so off to Jefferson...my rod shop business and race car stuff was not welcomed there-even though they have "both" tracks ?????...

Hey Sharkey...dya' own a geiger counter ?

Does that rusty drum not say US ARMY - RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS on it ?

wasn't "minerva" a code word or something ...like "manhatten ?

I am surprised you stayed in Lane County, have you had "problems" there ?

GT, great post !!! I too, would like to repost ratredux's article, but would have to know from where it came...can you hit me off list (or on) with where he posted this ? Not many sKOOLies ran DD power, Crown, Wayne, Superior, Bluebird and a few IH , but mostly "pusher" designs... like cit...

Well, “hereâ€

another option for snow, trees, and sandstorms is to hinge them and put the working side down... last "green" bus I had needed a compass and parking reasonably "correct" to erect the array for max. goin' down the road it was easier to "hang out " my delco alternator win...

DADEO...is this yours ? !!!

what does this use for rear axle/tires ? any idea as to weight F/R ?

Added a lower 1/2 ford van on for a guy-aft, really got onto issues of rear weight and was like a drunk elephant on roller skates... whatz' this like on the way to Calgary ?

SO, did miles ever make it back to Kingman, or has his zip code changed to some intermediate point ? NalCool made by NALCO the chromate and borate additive folks from Lakewood ohio..google 'em. nalco maintains ph and lays a film of borate or chromate on your liner exterior to preclude aeration pitti...

OK...I'LL BE A GUEST, just found this site...sorry, I shoulda' been here years ago, but... I am here now ! looking for Santa Cruz based skoolies who were there in the '70's , and stories about whatz' on the street and in the hills now...especially the blue boiler bus w/hot tub and external plumbing,...
