The new rear Bumper!

Camping Last weekend at Meadowvale Campground 

A peek inside, always seems cluttered

Hanging out for the night in a parking lot.
Not the best campground, but it worked...
You can see I've begun the painting process, now just have to have a couple of clear days to finish it.

So today it’s raining.

Looking at the calendar I see there are only 3 more days till my job ends. This is both exciting and quite frankly, a little scary. This will be the first time in my life I will not have a job. I will have no schedule, no meetings, and no alarm clock.  I will no longer be late for an appointment nor will I have to report to anyone.

Oh yeah. I’m happy!

Looking at the bus I see all the little tasks I wanted to complete before I left. Things like building and installing screens on the windows, adding a shelve unit above the water tank for food storage.  Still don’t have the curtains back. Finish painting the exterior, and the list goes on. I have a feeling there will always be a list of things that need attention.

There will be 10 days between the last day of work, May 30^th, and my departure date, June 10^th. I’ll be hiking in New Hampshire for 5 days during that time. So that will leave me 5 days to complete my chores. What gets done, gets done. What doesn’t, doesn’t.

I will be working towards adding more information and photos to this blog and adding on a regular basis. For those of you who have stopped by or are following, thanks for the visit. 

This is where I'll be posting the trip progress and sharing my adventures. 

Enjoy!!!!

The solar panels are working perfectly. Free power from the sun!

Hanging with some friends, I have 38 more days before I retire!
It seems so odd to think that I will not have a career, much less a job...
Still, I'm looking forward to it.

Added the solar panels to the roof. 4 100 watt panels. also added a new stereo system.
Still working on cleaning it out and getting rid of more stuff... would like to cut it all by half!

 love this new stereo, 4 speakers place in just the right location to give the best sound quality!

Starting to look like an adventure bus!
Kayak on board!
Almost ready to go!
41 more days till retirement.

So the bus has been fixed!
The end result was the fuel filter. It appeared to have water in it. When I hit a series of bumps, it would spill the water into the fuel injectors and stall the motor.
The final cost, $407.00 But it is running excellent again.

I've mounted and connected the 1500 watt converter. Also installed the charge controller. Tonight I install the 4 solar panels on the new roof rack.
I will finally have free power!

51 days left before I retire.  

Well, the roof rack has been built and installed.
I've also added a Thule 4 bicycle carrier to the front bumper.

Today, the bus is in the shop for a service, there has been an issue with stalling when I encounter some potholes, so in NY, that means you cant drive anywhere!
Hoping to hear back soon that all is fixed and well. Keeping my fingers crossed that it is nothing serious.

Love the ladder rack!

 Solar panels will mount here

Bike Rack

Next up, a paint job!
