Yeah, I got to get busy and add some to this topic. Been too busy either working or trying to get some projects around the property done while the weather is still manageable.
For the last three weeks, I've been working evenings on a big project for the web site, something that I'll preview in a couple more weeks, but it's too early to let the pussy out of the bag for now.
Hang on, I've got material for another entry laying on my desk, I just have to limber up my typing fingers and put it into text. Seems like I can't type worth a dang for the last few days, even short emails are painful to spellcheck...

It's been a couple of years since I heard anything, but I have no reason to think that anything has changed.
BTW, I'm wondering it anyone has noticed that this topic thread, or at least the story it contains, is now a series of pages in book form in the Bus Barn section of the site?

I haven't finished loading in the pages that I've written here in the forum yet, but once I do, maybe I'll take up the tale again, there's still at least 32 years of content left...

ATTENTION PROOF READERS:
Did that get your attention?
As I mentioned in a post above, I am in the process of extracting the text of the story from the "30 Years" forum thread and serializing it as a book in the Bus Barn section of the site. The opening page is here (don't click on the link yet):
http://www.mrsharkey.com/busbarn/30years/page0
The reason I'm posting this is because I have just reorganized the pages into chapters, and I think it's all proper, but since it never hurts to have more eyes on the job, I thought I'd throw it out and see if anyone can detect problems I missed.
So far, there are three chapters, with pages within them. There are 22 pages total, plus the "cover" page, which is the page that opens in the link above.
Check out the story so far and see if the links are continuous, that it doesn't jump around from page to the wrong page, etc. the chapters are correct, etc.
I'll be porting over more of the story in the next week or so. When I reach the end of the forum entries of the story, I guess I'll have to write some new ones to continue the tale.

Yeah, there were a couple of places where it was whacked, several pages had the wrong titles, while others had the same "weight" (how the CMS orders book pages). There is a widget for setting the titles and weight, but you have to look at the individual pages if the titles don't match the page numbers. Thank goodless I numbered the pages sequentially, otherwise it would have been much harder to figure out.
I think I got it fixed, check it again. Don't bother to read the text, but if you can match the page numbers with the menu progression and report any problems.
It will be less confusing when I compose pages one at a time. I edited in eight new pages last night, breaking the existing 14 pages into chapters, (which meant editing each of them) and by the time I was on the last one, I could barely see straight.
