The Current State of the Big White Bus
It’s been a long time since I have posted. I don’t have to tell you what a weird world this has been the last year.

Looks like I’m pretty popular in Finland today. Hopefully it’s not a hacker trying to highjack my page. My genetic profile tells me some part of me is Northern European. So thank you to my distant cousins for visiting. Kiitos lukemisesta ja onnellisesta kuljettamisesta.
I’ve had some issues with the idling on the Big White Bus. Once she is warmed up when I come to a stop sign the idle drops to something like 300 rpms. And eventually she drops lower and finally dies.
I read online that the O2 sensors could be the culprit. I couldn’t remember the last time replaced the O2 sensors. I am not getting Code 43 or 44. As I am not driving her daily I don’t have a good idea what the gas mileage had dropped to. So I decided I’d spend the money and replace. […]
We’ve all been there. If you haven’t, you will. You’ve been stopped dead by a failed part. In this case my friend JagGuy’s wife.

Parked vehicles are basically hotels for rodents of every size and shape.
Rejoice!
I have ordered my shoppe. I went with a 20×30 foot with a single garage door on the advise of the Evil German Dude. He recently purchased another shop for his property and was disappointed in the two garage door version. The shop will need some fill dirt due to the slope in my yard.
Sorry for all the trouble this past week with my site. I’ve been trying to get my site updated and secured. This has taxed my abilities in the web hosting universe. This ain’t as simple as turning a wrench. Anyway, you can feel all warm and fuzzy now that my site has an SSL certificate.[…]
This is a brief explanation of the Difficulty Scale.
Bears? in Oklahoma?
I’m not dead. I haven’t posted in a while mostly because I’ve been working on the new house. I haven’t planned any trips for this Spring either. This is also due to the house remodel but also the uncertainty surrounding my ignition module issues of late. I’ve run the BWB and taken a few short[…]
