Let's move on to the middle table. The green lampshade you see is one that I still have. It is now in my bus.

Two shots of the middle table. The bug you see there was made from a beer bottle. That was some tricky cutting.

A view of the rear of the trailer. If you look out the window, you can see part of Mike's bus. It is blue.

One last picture. That is the closet, and the propane heater I had at that time.

I hope you have enjoyed this as much as I have. I leave you now with a picture that I used on the jacket of my first CD. I'll be back next week with more bus pictures. Until then, Keep On Bussin'. Rudy

Was there anyone who might have inspired you to do all these wonderful things you have accomplished or did you think and do all this on your own?

Animal Lover, The design of the interior of the bus was born out of having to house the recording studio, my dogs, and my living quarters. It is a challenge to incorporate all of my stuff into one vehicle. I still have stuff of mine in the Dodge motorhome and a 25 foot trailer out back. I have pared down quite a bit, and it looks like I will be getting rid of even more stuff. It's not like I drew out a plan where everything was to go. I just built it on the fly. My friend, Shawn, was a good source for ingenious ideas. We did the carpentry together. Without him, it certainly would not be as far along. Thanks for your interest. Are you on the planet Mars? Or are you in a space ship? Or is that your trailer I see orbiting overhead? Rudy

Actually I just moved to Venus... the planet of love. Mars was so red, it was hard to breath, it was so cold and dusty. I really did not care for the people there, so I moved. I had no good friendships there as well. Here I am surrounded by love everywhere I look. I do travel in space quite often but not in my home. It has been having mechanical problems lately so I take my mini red flying machine instead. It is much thriftier with jet fuel prices and all. Again awesome bus.
By the way, did your friend Shawn help you with your other motor homes as well? Or were you the soul creator and carpenter? Did someone inspire you to make your beautiful homes? Very impressive stuff! I do love the work I have done on my spaceship as well. I had an amazing Bloopdelapoopyer (carpenter is what you earthlings call them) help me quite a bit. I'm very grateful for that. Well I think I will take a little trip around the moon before I go pillowwillowing (sleep). Animal lover

That cracks me up. Wasn't Sativa a punk band that was pretty famous in the eighties?

Dennis, I spent a winter in Raquette Lake, NY. That is far away from the common world. I saw 15 below zero there. Where are you located? Rudy
