The WanderLounge.

Yes!

The "Wander" is strong in FL!

Ya...but it was the "Lounge" that got my attention!

WanderLounge is totally a play off of WanderLodge... But with more relaxation!

Lounge definitely implies adult beverages.

brokedown · 01-29-2018, 09:48 AM

As long as coffee and earl grey counts as adult beverages then we're good!

Robin97396 · 01-29-2018, 10:24 AM

That's half perfect. The coffee is perfect, but chocking down earl grey may be asking to much.

I've been drinking eyebright tea. You have to turn your back on your own tastebuds.

brokedown · 01-29-2018, 10:30 AM

Ms Brokedown drinks the tea, I drink the coffee. So it's all good!

I hit the bleeder of my read air tank and an absurd amount of water came out. So now I"m researching the air dryer to see if there's a reason for that....

Video of my amazing water collection!

Look what you've done! Now a whole bunch of us are going to be crawling under the rear end of our buses to check the tank. Why does that vid make me want to take a leak?

Good catch. I'd have never expected that in a rear tank. Transparent tanks would help.

brokedown · 01-29-2018, 10:59 AM

One of my front tanks was just as bad. I didn't expect that video to be so long.

Robin97396 · 01-29-2018, 02:25 PM

In my understanding that can be expected from the wet tank if it's been a while since it was drained. That is something I'd not expect at all from the rear tank.

Darn you anyway. Now I have to check.

Man, that is a lot of moisture. Bus looks nice. Looks like your making good progress.

Looks like I'm not far from you. I'm in Largo. I'm still new to the skoolie life, hope to have bus by next week. I do have construction experience and auto/small engine mechanic experience. I use to remodel houses so I still have most my construction tools as well as a small shop with mechanic tools and just enough room to park a bus. Let me know if you need a hand and I will do my best to help out.

We're actually nowhere near St Petersburg right now but we will be back that way after the Feb 17 florida skoolie meetup thing... In the short bus though, the big bus is bit farther out before we're living in it!

Veganswandering · 01-30-2018, 05:55 PM

Ahhhhh. The weather is perfect right now. We wish we could make it to Brooksville skoolie meet. We are excited to start meeting the community. And start on our bus.

You guys full time now? Is your big bus in st pete?

brokedown · 01-30-2018, 05:59 PM

We've been full time for a year now. The big bus is up here with us, we have a place to stay and build it here. We'll probably be in St Pete from Feb 19 through 23, get some things done and catch up with all our people down there before heading back up.

Brooksville meetup should be a blast, not everyone there will have their bus but I believe all are welcome.

Veganswandering · 01-30-2018, 06:19 PM

Cool, we plan on going full time as soon as we can. We own a day care/boarding business for dogs where we currently live in the master bedroom and have dedicated the rest of the house to the dogs.

Anyways, looking forward to seeing your second build and the things you've learned from the first build.
