We don't have a radio. We just talk about the scenery which can be lots of
things :goats,cows,hawks,big farm houses,etc.
Thor isn't much company he just sleeps, pants, sometimes stands up to stretch,
does a circle and lays back down.
We have our GPS to keep us company and sometimes we use the laptop to geek some
more on maps.
PO was Tom Jenkins in Arlington TX he had it for 3 yrs. Sat under a tree w/o
any motor just transmission. Plastic windows also.
Tom got it from a guy who got it abandoned on the side of the road.
Cool stuff in the bus : Russian Flag, seeds, roach, chicken bone
necklace,CD's,and a portfolio of paper with no drawings on the paper.
