Subject:      other busses which are around.

High all- My wife and I made a hour trip to Roanoke yesterday and saw two different busses. The first was so ragged out, 68-70, (moon caps and the wide 5 bolt patteren) red, and was pulling a trailer with a Harley on it. The owner had attached two 5 gallon gas cans to the rear cargo hatch. Talk about long distance. There was also a large oil cooler mounted on the left side. This one was another testamony to the ragged out, lived in bus thing. The other was a 77 owned by a French-Canadian named Bernard who was restoring/fixing up this bus. The interesting part was how he kept his pop-top down in the wind. Bernard had cut about 2 feet out of the front portion of the pop-top and moved it back, making his westy look more like a Doormobile. He said that all of the wind was out and it worked real well. It is real neat meeting people who own busses and the stories they have to tell about them.

On a side note, my homemade oil temp gauge is still working and the temp has yet to exceed 190 degrees. Cool is nice.

I would like to post a GIF to the list which is a diogram of the circuit. With the quantity of list subscribers, I would like to test sending it to one member. Anyone want to volunteer? Thanks.
