Ten o’clock Monday morning. “Hi Honey, Ron says that the engines in really great shape and we should be worried about the bus. It’s a great buy!
We’ve signed the papers and we’re heading home in a couple of hours. Ron has an appointment Wednesday at home so I’ll see you in a couple of days!”
Monday afternoon the phone rang. It’s Lee, “Hi Sandi, the bus odometer/speedometer isn’t working. Can you look up some RV shops along our route and see if they don’t have a replacement. Then ask them if they’ll over night it to some shop along our route. We will be driving through Springfield, Missouri tomorrow and if the shop would have an open bay, Ron says he could install it...”
Tuesday morning. It’s Lee, “We’re stuck, I left the bus in gear and you can’t leave it in gear, it drains the battery...we’re not going to worry about replacing the speedometer. Ron says that we could get into the engine and then spend several hours trying to fix it. The better way to go is replace it when we get home.”
Wednesday morning. “Hi honey, Ron’s not going to make his Wednesday appointment but it’s ok. He’s got it rescheduled for Thursday. The bus is not developing any power going over the hills and it’s slow going. We’re for sure going to be home on Thursday.”
Our bus woes have just begun ...

Ah, so you take responsibility for the bus huh? When I tell people my parents (dad) bought a bus they're liks, "huh? A bus?" But those of them who know my dad just shake their head and laugh. I like the cat video - I'm sure Sylvester would have let you drag him. I'm sure of it. and you CAN take cats for walks, just not on leashes - you should stick around my house at about 10 in the morning, I have a neighbor who takes her dog and three cats for a walk every day. Amazing I tell you.
