We took the new bus out for a small run today with kids and grands. It ran like a top. It rides sooooo smooth. We took a bunch of pictures today, family and of course the bus. Here is the newest member of the family,  ::)

Thanks Andy and Cliff. It was a good day. Feels so good to have a shiny new ride. It just glides over the bumps, hmmm, so that is the way an Eagle rides?  ;D Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Sun?  Is that something they only have in Georgia?

I look forward to seeing your bus again in Florida.  It has been over a year since I saw it as basically an empty shell.

Ruthi,

Wish I could make it to Arcadia just to see your bus. You guys have done a heck of job in such a short time.

I've got half a mind to jump on Brian's Dina when he and BK pass through Atlanta.
