Chuck seems like a nice guy, but I am not sure I trust a man with enough
pyrotechnics to level a city block.
As for the string pulling. I don't really pull teeth for a living, I save them.
As with buses, original is the best but sometimes they need repair and
sometimes they have seen better days.
Hope to make it to Psyc oblooie to see everyone, and enjoy some fireworks and
corn.

Emily and I are still in the discussion stage of the trip. No decision has
been made yet.

I take it from your silence on the subject that you will not be coming to
Psycoblooie?

I winched Murray on to his trailer yesterday and took him out to Wayout
Salvage. Derrick and Danny inspected him carefully and kinda declared him DOA.
We figured that we would have to, basically, cut off everything from under the
roof to the B pillar, and were looking at $5K, pretty much as Will said. I
looked at a '67 that I could gut completely and transfer all the mechanicals
from Murray. Really, build a new bus that wouldn't be Murray.
Interesting concept, at what point does a repair make him no longer Murray?
The engine and running gear or the body? Where is the soul of a bus?
Anyway, as I was getting increasingly depressed, Derrick sent me to a guy in
Berryville who has a reputation for pulling and straightening cars that are
beyond saving. He looked at it and pronounced that he could fix this, but that
it could take more than two day's work. I personally saw a notch that was
really destroyed in an accident and that I thought had died, but was put back
on the road. Now, I find that this was the guy that did it.
So, I am to call him today and see if he can start on Murray tomorrow and I
get to watch. Let's all cross our fingers and toes.
PSYCOBLOOIE!!! Julie is, apparently, this year's dynamite jockey. She will be
transporting the fireworks. Pray for her. Dan and Kat have finally confirmed
that they will be here, probably Friday, stylin' in a 2008 Jetta to show us
how the upper crust live. Brown Bus Mike is coming on Wednesday to take all
the best spots. Steve and Sharon and Dennis and Claudia and maybe Mike say
Friday, Paul and corn on Saturday. Where is Shirley? Somebody get to Shirley.
Robb and his entourage have said "Maybe". If I have not mentioned any of you
that are coming just chalk it up to my mental state.
All you that are coming need to shame and cajole the ones who say no or on the
fence. If you can't make it, we still love you, but you will forever be the
Ones Who Weren't Here. And nobody wants that, do they? No.
I've always considered the heart and sole of a VW to be in the said owner. Can
you transfer the sole of a bus to a new owner when you have to let one go. I
think not. That bus will always be in your heart. Murray will live again
whether it be in it's original (yet slightly warped) sheet metal or will it's
sole live in another body. Hmmm????
