Drop that hot-rod bus like a hot potato and go for it, Gar. Sell all
of your buses and mortgage your wife... You only live once and you
know this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity - bet you could offer
him $4500 and talk him into it.

Must have been an impressive looking coach when new...

This is one of those monsters you can break your heart on.  All
you see is what it could be instead of what it is.  If you want
to work on RVs instead of travel in them, and you've got plenty
of bucks, this is for you.

Your right Bob; one would need a lot more more bucks, time and desire
than I have to do this one right..  So many have died or went broke on
this kind of project..  I have been reading Bus Conversions magizine for
years and that is the primary warning..  Don't get so caught up working
on one you never get to travel in it..

In that case... hit 'im again, Max.

I would myself except that I'm feeling too relaxed and cheerful due to
taking off this evening for 4 days of camping and fishing. I have a
feeling it'll rain every day, but I don't mind fishing in the rain.
And the trailer doesn't leak yet...

Oops... almost forgot to check out with Gar. I'll be back on Monday,
sir.

LOL. Fishing in the rain sounds like a worse way to spend time -- if
that's even possible -- than fishing when it's not raining. You probably
watch fishing shows on TV too, huh?

As they say, "Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to
fish and he'll sit in a boat and drink beer [even in the rain] all day."

I knew there must be a tragic flaw in your character somewhere.

I have, but not often. I do know who Bill Dance is, though...

No beer in the boat - we have MNR officials who patrol the Trent-
Severn waterways...

You found it.

I don't.

Man, fishing *without* beer has to be even worse than fishing *with*
beer. And I don't even like beer.
