Lets get together sometime when you and your bus are feeling rested!
You sound like me when I finally got home from my bus retrieval in KY. I was SO GLAD to see palm trees and breath humid air again!!! Welcome home, and we can't wait to see more of you and your bus, man!

We do to get together and throw some food on the grill and enjoy. I do have a serious question! Driving in all the rain i noticed that a 26000# bus puts up a wake. So is wrong to go around and randomly soak school kids at there bus stop in a short bus not that i would do such a thing?????????

Nope, definitely not. Those little booger eaters leave all sorts of nasty crap inside buses.

oh yeah the busses put up a wake for sure.. ive run in some really heavy rain and definitely spray water on the cars along side of me..
I say lets all get together! even if informal... I tend to have one or both busses down here in florida..
I also have my computer programmer if you need any parameters changed on your T-444E or just want to read out its Data.

Hope the move was trouble free, and things are going well for you. May need eyes on busses that are in that neck of the Country. (not that I've found any)

I am unable to help with your situation but, just wanted to wish you a welcome to the Skoolie life. Wear safety gear and have fun doing your bus.

updates
Hi all it's been a long 8 months. I had to leave my bus up in Va. to come back and deal with my car being stolen. By the time the tow truck company contacted me the bill was $900 to get my stripped car back in the stat of FL. they can take your license. I felt like a victim twice as the cops treated me like i did something wrong. I got a job offer at an auto body shop the day i arrived. Fast forward to now my girlfriend passed away on Sunday so it is time to reavaluate life. I will be naming it the Rehabus in her honor. I will be going up to pick her up in January to start work again.

Joe, my thoughts and prayers are heading your way. When re-evaluating everything, just know that our group is with you, and can lend a hand when needed. Good vibes will go a long way, too.
I hate storage lot crap. It's everywhere, and makes the whole industry smell.
Good on you, my friend
