Phoenix, Arizona was 105 today, but hey- it's a dry heat! :lol: In fact the humidity is so low in Arizona that it takes two inches of rain to make one inch on the ground, cause it's so hot it's a dry rain! :wink: I spent the summer of 1972 working near Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It could be 85 degrees wi...

That house truck really turned out well, I'm jealous- I wish I could join you on the road with all that good camping and nice locations. I'll look forward to more pictures and stories as your adventure unfolds! :)

The 5.9L Cummins is always a better choice then a Cat, Detroit, Ford or Mercedes diesel. The Allison MT643 auto transmission is a good transmission also, a manual trans is good, but then there is the clutch to consider if the bus has many miles on it, and you have no service record to know if the cl...

Another Earthquake near NZ today

It seems from the news reports that the 7.6 earthquake today near New Zealand was actually about 1,000 miles north? Still, I wonder if Dusty or Stuart felt anything down their way? That area is getting to be worse then the SanFran bay area for shaking.

I put our member Granny on to a bus sale in S...

Some of our group must be on summer vacation, or working long hours making hay while the sun shines. It seems we have more activity in the winter time, when folks prefer to be indoors because of the cold in the western hemisphere. :roll: Granny, EBlue, and others must be busy with working on thier b...

Those houses are sweet- I wish I had one to restore, but I don't think I want to go to Siberia to do it. Not unless they have a Home Depot close by where I can get the materials and supplies to do it! :lol:

The "had to" part was said 'tongue-in-cheek'. I thought that perhaps he had decided to delete the aforementioned pics and repost with some updated ones or ones that would be more 'OSHA kosher' to avoid any controversy or problems for anyone. Not knowing what may going on, I tried to gently...

Rudy- have you rested enough now?? :P Since you had to go and delete all those pictures of Zac's house build, are you going to post some that will 'pass muster' ? :wink: I want to see how the build is going- so please get up and going again, and get those pics and progress reports coming again! :lol:
