I've been mighty busy

I have been getting settled in to the Denver area over the past couple of months.  I found a property I could rent space to park the bus.  This happened in early February.  This is what it looked like when I moved in...snow is long gone now.

I also got my Colorado Driver's license to make it easier to get a job.  Getting the license was an ordeal...seeing as I didn't have an official firm address at the time.  I found a local homeless shelter provided services to assist people without permanent residency in getting identification.  I had to take a city bus downtown on a specific day to be a the homeless shelter by 7:30am.  From there they shuttled a small group of us to the DMV and walked us through the process.   It was a cold morning, always a joy waking up and getting dressed at 5am when the temperature on the bus is 15 degrees.   But the sacrifice was definitely worth it.  Here is a video of me after getting off a mile too early from my destination.

And I purchased a wrecked 1992 Isuzu Trooper. I got a great deal on it.  It has 240,000 miles on it, still runs strong.  I can now get around much easier.   A few local friends have been helping/advising me on fixing it up.  We pulled the front end out.  I went to a local pull and pay (junkyard).  I got a new bumper and some other parts to fix the front end.  Now the hood closes properly.  I had a new muffler installed.  Going to install front brakes this weekend.    Here are some pics (pre-repairs).
