IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!

Well, after two weekends, many set backs, and much guidance and patience from Brien and Billy my Blue bus finally breaths life! I am so happy! I must also thank Dave for helping turn wrenches and Todd for helping in trying to get a much needed accelerator cable (I would have had it too if it wasn't for d**n UPS).

It's running a bit rough after sitting so long without the engine in it, but it fired right up and gingerly made the 200 mile trek from Rockford to Port Huron.

Thanks again to everyone who helped. Now I just need to get the kinks worked out before the spring gathering.

When a common vision is shared it's easy to move forward with patience. Having good friends around and loads of brew doesn't hurt either. Through all the set back and heartache this was one of my favorite installs. I'm glad you asked us to be a part of it.

Thanks Billy. Despite everything it really was a lot of fun. I learned so much. I also found near immediate friendship with you guys - and that my friend was worth it even if the bus never started.
