Post by Bleyseng » Wed Dec 12, 2012 10:37 am

Came back into town and just had to hook up the battery and Vrooom the bus starts right up and purrs after sitting since Sept out in the weather. Guess my son kinda broke his promise to move it inside but I still love FI starts on cold 40F rainy weather...well, to me its damn cold as I am used to it being 75F at 7AM.

Welcome home. Are you here for good?

I am having bus withdrawal in tandem with sunshine withdrawal and heat withdrawal and big sky withdrawal. I like the simple friendship of a plodding cow, for example, over a fleeting Lexuleopard.

Lexuleopard? Cows and big sky are a favorite of mine too along to serene jungle rivers to swim in.
Bus withdrawal is hard! Started on my to do list just to keep up but is fun work and relaxing. Now just to hook up some heat in the garage!

Chloe is a Jersey cow, the Lexus is a quiet fast cat (with inadequate brakes and a mushy suspension).

I had a 2002 Lexus in Suriname for a bit with the big six in it. Quite fast, crappy brakes and suspension plus it sucked gas. Driving around today in the bus was fun as its raining with wet slick roads so lots of wrecks. Of course, everyone has to cut in front of the bus cuz it might be slow :(
I drove carefully and avoided getting pissed off but I was cold all day. (effin rainy cold damp NW weather)

To Wayne, nope just the Holidays as I still have work to finish back in Suriname. I'll call ya.
To Colin, I think you're nuts staying in a cold area if you have a chance to winter over somewhere warm.
