Morning Woods. Denny, take it easy and you'll be back to lurking and feeling well in no time! Stan, be careful, apparently, you're in a dangerous place. Chuck, that actually does look like good work and Al approves. Hi Al!. Moring Lou 'n' Sammy, Russ, no rain here, later Greg, don't have too much fun. Mick, updates on the pool? I think I caught up, not enough time or coffee right now to be 100% certain.

 

Good for you Mick, I hope it resolves without much more frustration. You have certainly done more than your part and been the good brother.

 

I wondered how the summit went. Sounds as if she is assisting, albeit grudgingly, a little.

 

Good morning Champion Trap-Master.

 

Thirstday Morning Greetings

 

Good morning Larry. Have you tuned up the bus for this year’s runs?

 

Morning Woods.
Looking to be a beautiful weekend as the week was. Highs of 88°, lows of 51°.

 

Well ... That's a long story ... I was at the bus yard Tuesday and the cylinder head is off ... My bus #12 was overhauled a little over a year ago ( $22,000.00 ) and it took out #6 piston a week after the warranty expired ... I then took #11 ... It didn't like starting in cold weather which led me to parking in the garage every night :>) ... They wanted me to take one of the new busses that we are getting but I seriously dislike the ergonomics ... Everything is in a different spot and the angle that the sear selector and parking brake are makes it very uncomfortable to operate .. Also the door control requires me to raise my arm up to almost shoulder lever and then reach down as the "cubby hole" ( glove box ) is so high ... Whoever designed this Blue Bird needs to go back to school ... I'm tight with the mechanics and their hope is that they can resolve the cold start problem ... If not they said I could park it in the garage every night :>)

 

Hi Russ.
I'm afraid I'm the weaker link on the team, but did my part in keeping the bottom from falling down too low ! All in good fun and camaraderie.

 

Seems like Bluebird would do well to listen to feedback from the field.
