No you guys... not THAT talk - we've both have said we're in it for the long haul
But, we did have the conversation about what would happen if I were to meet an untimely demise before she did. She said outright that she would be selling my Harley and the bus (she hates riding my Harley, and has no desire to tinker with the bus). I made her promise that she would have to offer the bus up on this forum first before she even thought about posting it on craigslist, the samba, etc. She agreed to that.
Nope, I'm healthy as a horse, so it will probably be 30-40 years from now before it goes up for sale, but hey, you all have first dibs.

Re: My wife and I had "the talk" last nite...
Love It! However, mine isn't in the nice, pristine, condition of many of the folks on this forum ... it has a lot of 'patina' and frankly, I like it that way. So there will be lots of work to do before the next owner has to worry about waxing the cabin air intake plenum. With a daughter getting ready to go to college, my goals are modest this year.... a new set of decent tires would really rock.asiab3 wrote:
