Hmmm, only 2.5 months to change bearings and do the brakes..... I don't know about that. There was an off list offer to help me get it done NOW but we all know my work schedule is so screwy no-one can really do much. "Normal people" are off weekends so that's when help would be available. That's when I work (unless there are freaks like me who would help between midnight and 7am <grin>). I'm facing the same thing with Dad's stuff. I have to empty his house but all the family that can help -- can only help on weekends. I'll be doing it Mon/Tue/Wed when I'm off. My plans this year were to shoot for and Aug/Sep/Oct triplet. PsychoBilly, JBB, and Jerome (can we change PsychoBilly to "JpsychoBilly" so it has a "J" too?). Now, it'll probably be mid July before I even go open the storage unit and look at the Rivi again. Full plate. [BIG chunk deleted -- started "thinking out loud" and "laundry listing" all the stuff I'm just realizing has to be taken care of] Anyway, I think the point of this message started out as "I have no idea if I'll have the bus ready -- even by August". It can't even be towed to shows now because of the bearings. I had plans to attend PS 1.5 in May when the sh$*%$@ hit the fan. Even made it a point to keep my intentions off list since that seems to jinx any plans I make. OOhh OOhh -- may have a house to buy in August too -- almost forgot about that. Owner should be in the country some time in August and I'll have that to take care of. Maybe I'll start working on that time-pausing machine I was designing again. Put time on hold for a few days to work on the Rivi. Yeah -- I'll go back to work on that in the spare time I have right now. :-D Gerald On Fri, 17 Jun 2005 10:57:37 -0500 Denis Dodson wrote: > I am going to start sending mail and stuff to all the VW people in the > world about coming to my house the Friday before Eureka Springs.
