Every time I use the word "boat" my wife says "hole in the water you
pour money into."

I reply "Thank God houses don't do that," followed by "if you'd quit
blowing our money on food and shelter, we'd have a really cool car!"

We have been married a long time.

Well I must have a bad one,1980 Westy cost with bad
engine, stove, refer and water works for 500.00 in
Sept of 02, dumped 700.00 in engine and small parts
cleaned it up and have been going to the campouts with
it. Last week put some good tires on it for $168.00.
Just did the front brakes, at a cost of $10.00 I am
ready for the campout this weekend, Busses by the
river in Erwin TN. I have a small problem with the
temp on hill climbs but I will solve it with a extenal
oil cooler, I'll install the cooler this winter, in
the meantime I'll just take breaks going up the hills.
$1378.00 is not bad for a good bus. Phil
