There's things that I want to say but I think they should be left unsaid in the interest of good taste.

Smitty, you have to move those spices. Never put them near heat or where light can get to them 
At this rate, you'll be on the road long before I am. Where you heading?

Re: Smitty's Bus
Hi Smitty, bus is looking terrific, watching the drink holder progress. I lived in Quartzsite for three years way way back when, am looking forward to seeing it again. Have some "adopted" kids just across the border in Blythe. Used to be a truck stop in Quartzsite called "Teds", I was involved in that. I think it is all gone now, run out by the big boys. Missed having seasons and finally came back home to Oregon. Could use some sun now...... Leslie

Re: Smitty's Bus
Smitty, I would be pretty surprised if you have an AT545, I think an MT643 would be much more common with that engine and chassis.

Re: Smitty's Bus
Some of the 40' buses that I have seen for sale have them. I can't imagine why. It will probably cost them more in the long run.
