Friday March 8 2024

 

Waking up early at 10 a.m. I walk down the street for Mike to pick me up. He gives me a lift to the truck shop to pick up the bus.

 

Breakfast Bar. Tea.

 

We get there only to find out the inspection isn’t actually done yet. Kevin, the service manager, says he’s waiting on two marker lights. But he clears it anyway and we don’t even have to pay yet. Seriously, these guys are awesome – they literally fixed everything (new alternator, got rid of the oil sensor light, repaired the crank shaft, etc.). And the A/C is working great!

 

I drive it out to the warehouse to hook up the trailer and check the tire pressure.

 

Back at the house. Doing some stuff on the bus – fixing my row and setting up the back.

 

Eggs. Leftover Pizza. Spinach. Coffee.

 

Catching up on stuff. Packing up and getting ready.

 

Rebecca and I link up with everyone at the warehouse – loading up the bus with people and stuff.

 

Aaron, our driver, takes the wheel and gets us going – mentally preparing for a 17 hour drive to Illinois. But before we even get on the interstate we somehow get into a minor fender bender. Rebecca was midway throwing trash away and fell on her ass. We’re all a little shocked but everyone is okay.

 

As we move forward – eating leftover Beef, Veggies, and Rice.

 

Rebecca, Addy, and I have a business meeting while the bus jumps up and down – finalizing our new handbook.

 

One gas stop after the other. Sleeping on and off in the back of the bus.
