soon...

i know no one will see this post. soon, though. i think. i've been doing everything i can to get roth to put this up on the site, finished or not. i feel like any display of progress would be better than our excited but somewhat outdated 3-month-old update. am i wrong? if i am, let me know before the next post. i dare you.

anyway, here's the news: the bus is grounded by technical difficulties. one of the 2 coolant-heated fuel system components is leaking coolant into the vegetable oil. no bueno. so, i'll have to take all that stuff apart and send something away to be replaced. we're considering the february gathering in ocala as our next excursion, provided i'm able to take care of the aforementioned snafu by then, though it would mean quite abandoning our employer here in sarasota. it would also likely push back our march departure, as the projects are coming together slow. perhaps it's just the lack of money, perhaps more a lack of focus. either way, what we need are materials. namely, 1 1/4 inch angle iron - lots of it. a slab to work on would be nice, but that i can get around. storage boxes would be huge. then, the deck, then... well, we have alot to do. hopefully the site will be up soon, everybody. thanks for listening.
