Hey Ed... I haven't been paying attention real close, but didn't I see something about you were moving to Hawaii? Maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

Ed: thats interesting information, hadn't heard of the drops. Also after raising some kids suprising to know any pedialite stuff I find in the kid section is cheap. Fyi it's pretty clear to me that the infant children section has actualy far better quality (real) juice if one does the label thing, so avoiding the mixed sugar water.
Total agreement on gatorade, and do gear up starting in May early June in my area. I know that was rambling on.
Anyway thanks for the tip and good day there

I've got coke too. I did try Gatorade and hated it.
I erred with my route - the morning is 57 miles and 15 stops in 2 hours. That includes 20 minutes on the interstate.
The afternoon is 47 miles and 19 stops in 2 hours.

As I drive Special Needs, I run a bus taxi service, going from door to door. Fortunately none of my kids this year need restraint vests nor use wheelchairs. A wheelchair stop is a good 10 minutes.

I spent many days in the rain working on things that needed repair or improvement. Big blue tarps will keep most of the water out. When necessary, I spent the effort to secure them from wind.

Pulling a transmission out of a '68 cutlass in the rain, in a parking lot, without a jack was a dirty mess -- but everything cleaned up & I dried out, eventually.

So, start looking for solutions to get things done.

I took care of all the outdoor stuff before the cool and rain set in. Last real job was replacing the rear mudflaps that were in terrible shape (torn, broken, and too short). Exterior painting was the worst to deal with the weather, but i'm so glad it's done. The only thing left to do outside is replace a leaking roof vent, but it leaks into the shower, so it's not top of the list. I'm working on pulling up the rubber isle floor and having the wife choose a replacement vinyl plank floor. Then it's onto painting the walls and ceiling. All inside work, on the gravel driveway. It's rainy and humid today, but the roof airs make it all comfortable work.

Well, my work left to do...
Completing the wiring under the bus
Installing a battery under the bus
Enhancing my extraction vents
Installing a water inlet
Installing an instant water heater
Putting in a keypad door lock bypass (so I can get to my hidden keypad to open the door if I forget my key)

After that I might consider a black tank.

Kirby, we sold the bus and just about everything else and went to Hawaii, (Molokai) and couldn't find anything in our price range so we thought about where to go, and decided to come back to Strawberry Az. where we had been living when we bought the bus and started fulltiming. Bought a house a year ago in May and have been busy ever since! :)  Ed
