Title: Eagle spotted
Post by: Eagle on December 10, 2007, 10:16:23 AM
Saw a nice looking Eagle traveling East on US 83 going toward Brownsville Texas yesterday.  Could it be a Bus Nut on this Board?

Saw a Texan Eagle at the local DD shop with an 8V92 blown engine.  Solid bus, but $$$$$$$ likely for engine work.  Bill T.

I have an Eagle parked about 75' from me, it has a couple of cool people in it.

Other than some obvious problems, like the Michigan License plate, it made it to it's parking spot under it's own power.

With all the rain we've been having, I haven't been able to actually see the piles of red dust build up under it, but I have seen rivulets of red runoff on the ground around it.  ;) :D

I'd like to see my Eagle. It's parked across town and we're so dang busy it will be mid-January before I can even look at it again!  >:(

I never see conversion buses around here anymore. I-5 used to be covered up with them. I don't know if it is the time of year or fuel prices or something else, but I miss seeing buses.

I am sitting here in Mission Texas in the Rio Grand Valley and wind gusts of 30 to 40 MPH keeps the red dust from gathering around our Eagle.  The next time someone says the RGV is windy I will believe them and just stay home for the winter.

We are in a private park were all of the sites are privately owned and we have a fantastic lot.  The concrete pad is about 40ft wide and 60ft long.  The wind has been horrendous.  We have been here since 11-24-2007 and there is a constance breeze of about 10 MPH then we have had 7 days and nights with wind gusts up to 41 MPH.  The Eagle was really rocking like a rocking chair.  There is no traffic compared to South Florida.  Needless to say I will not be comming back to the RGV.

Sorry to hear you don't like it there at the RGV, will you have to sell your site?  While your there do you have to pay a monthly fee?  I was just wondering, you don't have to answer if you think I'm being too nosey.
