Ok, Hopefully I will get to finish this post. I have made a dash into the nearest town to get online and I found myself in the middle of a hail storm and a tornado warning. I have been in Eastern Colorado for over a month and the first severe weather we get is when I finally decide to take the bus out of the shop.
Anyhow, the worst of it has passed but the sky is looking ominous and the forecast is storms throughout the night. Preparing the bus to come into town was a 4 hour joy-fest. Perhaps I can just borrow Bryan's truck this weekend to get online again.
To boil it down, I have been working on the bus. Making it a better home. I am going to work on it for a few more weeks. So it will be that long until I am back online on a regular basis.
Here is a glimpse of my life lately...
Dan, my diesel benefactor, part time employer and all around good fella. He introduced me to Bryan. I grabbed this shot of him before I headed to Idalia.

First job upon arrival, degrease my ratchet set. Grimy was an understatement.

Another great sunset location. Shop to very left, then shed and to the right is chicken coop.

The wind is a constant issue
Whether I am coming or going
It can be a nice 70 degree day and then snow the next.
