The older buses were nice too. Mid 1970's my friend picked up a 1956 (I think) Forest Service bus. It had about 300 miles on it. It was a lot of fun and easy to work on. Although I loved working on my mom and dad's old Chevy's. You could reach anything without having to remove intake plenum blah blah blah. I'd just perch up on the engine on a flattened box to reach the plugs and keep most of the oil off my ass.

yeah they still are, we have a whole group of people who have buses i help out, this last week they all went on a camping trip to the Frio river, from the looks of it they had a blast.....all buses made it safely home....an the drivers from what i hear....

my best find.....was a 1965 double barn door bus, when i ran the vin on it, it turned up to be an ambulance model that they used overseas.....made a nice penny or two on that find....

My daughter had a 65 Bug and blew up the 1200, so I swapped in a 1600 Dual port. I could chirp the tires in it.

Not if backed up by facts but thats is literally how locals use it. We mostly use it as a racial slur but not what it actually meant to be used. Thats why you wont hear people here calling others a haole unless they say like " you fucking haole go back to the mainland" try use it to locals lol see what they say to u
 
Watered my indoor bed with the compost tea I've been brewing since Saturday, saved about a gallon and poured it over the grass I mulched the outdoor plant with. Went around the yard and dug up some different clover varieties and some chamomile and put them in pot. I have them in quarantine now until I'm happy they're clean, then they're going in the bed as companion plants. Then I started pruning up a birds nest spruce my buddy gave me. He was going to bonsai it, but he's moving soon and doesn't want to start a new one, so I'm doing it. I want to build a small raised planter for it, probably out of rock seeing how I have a huge pile of it, at some point so it's a focal point in front of the house. Before I came in I got the mail and found out the mortgage is 2 months behind.....again, almost $2000 with fees.:evil: It's normally under $400.:cuss:My mother's given the wrong account number for auto pay twice, then when she finally fixed that, she never set up payments to cover the missed month's so it's been perpetually behind since march. She said she thought she just had a bunch of extra money those months:wall: She's such a fucking moron. When I worked in the body shop my boss used to say how much he hated his mother, and I always questioned him how he could say that, but I get it now. I wish I didn't.

I actually built a drying closet dedicated to herb instead of hanging it all over my house.
I was fed up with drying in CT in the summer so I splurged and went out and bought a dehumidifier, took all the clothes out of my son's closet (only for a week :) ) ran some string and hung all my bud.
I feel very satisfied and I think I deserve a nice cold Fosters, a nip of Jameson and a couple of rips. :)

A few years ago, I was watching an episode of Diners, Drive-ins and Dives and a diner that was making this and it got my full attention. It was like the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen and we all know what bacon does when added to beef. I’ve been cooking for a very long time but for some reason, it never occurred to me to do something like this.

depends what you mean by haole XD cause most people misuse it and say it to white people kind of like "cracker" but haole means your just an outsider in general doesn't matter the race.

and no i wouldn't be considered a haole and if a mfer ever called a haole we'd square up real quick. it's like calling a black person a nigger basically but haole again is mostly misused and said to white people and i am white.

Jandels, {con con hikes} is hiking the CDT this season. He ran into too much snow, so took a couple of weeks off and went to Hawaii waiting for it to melt. He showed graffiti in almost every park they camped in that said Hawaii is not part of America and never will be.
