Well, we stopped in Oklahoma for a while. I air brushed the bus, with Jason's help, we have a name.

Here is the view from my station.

Well this is me in all my glory. Ready to go to work. Yes the NY Giants ar my favorite team- them and whoever is playing the Eagals. Heh heh.

These are the machines I have- two custome Snake Yeatts, and three big Joe Kaplans- they have been modified. With better coils.

Still in Oklahoma

Well sorry it's been a while since we got WIFI to update everyone. So we stopped in OK for a short brake- weelll turned out tobe not so short. I think I have tattooed everyone in McCloud Ok now- heh heh it's been fun.

This is Zak's first tattoo he got it for his 16th B-day

I did his on a motley fan.

This lady got- a memorial for her mom.

Her hubby is a huge fan of the cowboys, and razobacks.

I did a bunch of others, no pics yet. will post them when I get them.

Out of VA finally

Well we had some issues in Virginia- Overheating, was the biggest one, so we had to get the beast checked- got a new thermostat. None of that helped, finally at a truckstop I pulled the back apart, and found that a wire on this

Doo-hicky was snapped- would have saved lots of time and money if I'd have seen that earlier- anyway overheating is pretty much solved.

We are in TN at the smokies nat Park- more pics to come

The adventure

Well here we are boondocking in the woods of Viginia

Chester our dog, taking it easy under the bus.

Getting the grill all set up.

The river was about 15 feet from us, nice to listen to the water, flowing outside the windows.

The small things...

Well, the conversion is all but done so we started putting the small things that increase comfort. Got my "dash buddies" in for the drivers station.

Post Script....

Well the work is pretty much done. It's been tough, but very rewarding building our bus. It starts sparking the imagination as to the potential that bus conversions have.

Our plans as of right now are not certain, some people might be afraid of a lifestyle on the road. We are optomistic about it, in these days everything is uncertain. How many people are losing their jobs, homes drowning in debt just trying to keep the wolves off the door?

So, we have our house with us at all times- it's secure, insulated, warm has everything you need... and best of all paid for free and clear. So, we begin our new lives full of hope and expectations. The question: "how will we live?" Our answer: "Day-by-Day"

The finall Piece!!!

Today we made the bus a fire breathing dragon...

I was not about to leave my beloved grill behind.

Side view

Closed up ready for travel... I will have to bungie the lid and wings down before we get ou on the road.

I fashioned my own spacers out of an old braker bar I had.
