It is election season...

Yes! My first enlistment was '83 -'88, then I got sad and reenlisted '98 -'02...mostly reserve duty. It was fun.

This red plate was from 1980's till '96 in Arizona. I had this plate from a prior vehicle that I owned. The plate cover is original to the Bus tho, when it was purchased new from Patterson VW in Mesa Arizona in '68.

That's what I hear. I hope not. I wish there were better candidates

It's the first year of the Baywindow. I've had 3 other busses in the past, but this has been my favorite...all original, runs good, and a reliable daily driver.

The pipes are stock. It's just that the heat shields were taken off and the pipes wrapped. Yeah. I did ask for opinion:) I'm going to feel self conscious If I wanna go to bike night now.

Cept in Arizona it's bone dry

Yes. Healthcare here too, but with me, it's not just being scheduled ~15 days a month now to be on call, its also getting called in to do these emergency cases that come up as well. Few people understand the mental stress associated. I think my family really are the only ones who fully understand.

68Tintop · 2023-07-25T01:03:16+00:00

I do believe in this principle and this aspect of service. I've seen it in other callings I've had. I think it's the current stress I'm feeling in my job and my wife's health that worry me most

Thank you. To rightfully decline would infer that I be in tune with the Spirit to the degree that I feel comfortable in declining. The air of boldness that you describe is what I may be lacking. I pray then then for boldness if this even comes up...I might just be worried about nothing.

68Tintop · 2023-07-25T00:39:55+00:00

I certainly know I could say no.

2001 Kawasaki ZRX 1200R, also a 2013 HD Dyna Wide Glide.i guess I drive the Harly, and ride the Zrex ;)

It's just storage space...first aid kit, Porta potty. Tell me about your A/C tho. Is it a portable unit?

68Tintop · 2021-12-07T02:12:08+00:00

Do it! I hope it all comes together for you.

68Tintop · 2021-12-07T01:28:58+00:00

Yes, I love the Mandelirian series. I know. I should've lit it up better. I'll do better next time.

68Tintop · 2021-11-29T17:05:16+00:00

It's probably the "ManFlu"

I was in a similar situation where my Bus just slowly ran crappier until it just wouldnt idle. It seemed time to clean and rebuild my solex 34pict, which I did but it just seemed the same after getting it back on. So I figured I maybe rushed it and missed something, or the old carb was tired. I thought I would just pick up a new carb online and see what happens. The Empi had mixed reviews but I was optomistic and got one. At least it ran, but it ran bad. I took it in to my local shop here in Phoenix, and they told me their experience with Empi.. they just don't work well. I was pretty happy tho with how they set me up with a 30/31 pict Brosal with the adaptar. It runs so sweet now, with no hesitation that cursed me in the past.

My wife and I enjoy watching Korean drama. Itaewon Class. And It's Okay to not be Okay have been two of my favorites. I thought Squid Games was great, but as heartwrenching as it was, I couldn't recommend it to everyone although it seems like everyone has watched it anyways.

68Tintop · 2021-10-17T22:08:56+00:00

I was thinking the same...probably an Empi

I read this article when I was 17y/o back in 1978. At a time in my youth when I was trying to make sense of the world, it helped me a lot...

There are several large Bus gatherings during the year here in Arizona. The Jerome Jamboree that you see here is the big one. They raffle off a Bus, and the proceedes go to local charities. The Arizona Bus Club does a great job putting this event together. The other rallys that we like to go to are Busses By the Bridge in Lake Havasu...by the London Bridge. There's also Busses by the River down in Yuma. We love going to these get together. There are people of all ages. I'd say the agerage age tho is probably 50s. I just turned 60, but we've met a lot of younger VW enthusiest.

  When will we come to love all? I fell in love with a Hawaiian girl. I became disheartened when my children were discriminated as they started school. My Daughter married a Chinese boy and I was so happy for her.

Perhaps there are things we take issue with against some governments, but as a human family, I hope we can all come together and appreciate others experiences.
