Reduce, Recycle, Reuse, Roof Rack
I recycled and reused something that would have just been thrown away…

Shipwright’s Disease
… And so on, and pretty soon, the boat is in dry dock undergoing a major restoration because of a burned out light bulb.
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.
Popular in Finland
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.
Oxygen Sensor Replacement
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. […]
Why Not Spend the Extra $12?
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. JagGuy was absent from one of our weekly lunches, this time he missed out on a greasy cheeseburger from Tucker’s. He was waiting with his wife on the tow truck to arrive to haul one of their Discovery’s to his shoppe for a repair.
Fuel Relays
Before I had the pad poured for the new shop, I was regularly starting the Big White Bus and letting her get up to temp. I even would take her out on short trips just to get the fluids circulating.
The Saturday before the crew was scheduled to come out, I went out to start the old girl and all I got was lots of turning but no starting. That’s right, she went from starting every time to not running at all. Being that we live in the “country” now my mind began to race. Parked vehicles are basically hotels for rodents of every size and shape.
Shoppe is Ordered
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.
Blog Site is Backup
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.
