I have no running bus at the moment. I have my skeeter bug I could drive. But no place to sleep. I am not a tent guy. I thought about driving my truck just to say hi to all. But Zoey has prom.  The other bus needs a tranny rebuild and a motor refresh.

Corporates not coming… the kombi has a big bed…. I’m not homophobic or worried about sleeping next to dudes..  I like chicks and identify as he..  so you can share the kombi with me for one or two nights🤫🤔

drive over Friday and hang out…. Saturday????  Drive home Saturday or do it again..  we could ditch out on Saturday morning🤫🤫🤫. Back to GJ. After we run the RC car up the hill, then head home..  Get some work done?? Or stay another night..,  I’m flexible 🤫🤫🤫

Should be driving by end of day right?

you going to tico time? You can always ride carpool with jj in a pinch 🤏. I’m rolling out regardless. Got my oil changed finally today, made it to havasu and Moab on same oil.

I found my linkage was sticking a little when I drove it today. Loosened it up a bit and it relaxed enough to idle again, had to down shift and drag my feet up to each stop light to keep it from revving up.

Jesse’s end gears were cracked..  His fulcrums shitty, and one bad axle!!!

So he spent last night tearing another trans down for parts…. 😎  That’s how it is these days and why shit takes twice as much time..8-) (unsustainable)

at least he was somewhere with parts!!  a REAL shop…   or old retired shop…  😎 Old Grumpy guy with the parts.. 😎

Had some fun tearing up old trannies. To find some end gears and folcrums and 1 axle. I tore it down all by myself. I did I good job if u ask me.  I found 1 good end gear and the other was cracked just like mine were. I took off this bearing with a puller like a boss.  I could be a tear down guy after hours. 😬🤪

I want people to realize it takes a couple cars..  or in this case, a couple trannys to build one solid good unit!!!
