Title: Back after long absence (Not that anybody noticed)
Post by: captain ron on August 21, 2007, 11:26:29 PM
I got a toy min pin dumped in my lap on July 5th (the last thing I thought I wanted) She knocked my computer out of my hand and destroyed it and I just replaced it today. She has already run across the keyboard (bet it's her last  >:( ) She's still afraid to come near me. Had to wade through 18 pages of posts. I'm still in Sturgis, Sd. Made a barter on some dental work. Headed back to Iowa for Labor day then not sure, Maybe to missuri and then to Louisiana. Bus has been running fine but poor fuel mileage 4.8, Changed air filter hope it helps. been collecting WVO for conversion that I hope to get done soon. Got bus lettered and even got payed to put a bar logo on bus. Was enough to pay for my logo and fuel to Sturgis.

Well, I for one have missed you. I suspected you were at the motorcycle meet and was just too busy for us nuts anymore. LOL  Anyhow, welcome back.

Actually, I was wondering if you'd sold your bus or something.  I'd be interested in your WVO modifications, etc when you get going with that.  I have a good source of clean oil and would love to do the same.

Putting your logo on the bus and selling ads may give you grief with insurance as a private coach if that is how you are insured.  Commercial insurance is spendy.  If you have an accident your insurance may balk at covering you.  Something to consider.

Welcome back Ron!

Or get stopped by the PoPo for running the scales, thinking you're a commercial entity. (It's always gonna be something.)

Ron,

I was wondering what you had been up to!

Glad to hear your OK.

4.8 mpg,    (sung to the tune of "I want my MTV")       "I miss my, I miss my, I miss my GMC"

OK, enough of the amateur comedians   ;D

Well, Ron...

I guess I won't worry about paying that ransom note I got about a month ago. (Of course I wasn't too worried about it anyway, I figured the kidnappers would pay the bus nuts to take you back as it was!)

Glad to see you are safe in the arms of the bus nut community again, where you belong.
