Hey Russ I received a couple dozen homemade chocolate chip cookies from Marion for all the hard work done mmmmm delicious!!!! Are choco-chip cookies the new currency? At least it isn't cyber-based, lol! I am sure if the cookies were offered in payment, Russ would have taken that job off your hands

Don't laugh. I once caught a 15 year old with a full bag of double chocolate chip cookies and a 2 Liter bottle of coke in my class at lunch time. I called his mom to see if he had stolen them from her or the corner store. She said and I quote "oh that little $%&# that was his breakfast and he should have finished it before he went to school". Sigh!
Follow up, he's getting much better balanced meals now, serving 25 yrs in a federal penitentiary. Stan

Yah, that kid wasn't raised right. Everyone knows chocolate chip cookies go with MILK, and the two litres of Coke requires a family bag of Lays chips. No wonder he is in prison...

Hi sentence was peripherally related to coke, just not the liquid kind, and the guy who owed him money for it ended up in his trunk and was still there when the cops pulled him over. Stan

Sooo, R @ R have branched out into auto-wrecking and towing it seems... This old bus was just FAAAR to rotten to do anything with... The boys had hoped to use it as some sort of display, but it was just too fragile. All potentially reusable parts have been removed to help other buses survive. Some slightly sketchy jacking was required, but hopefully nobody got squished in the process... Not much left of this one to even weigh in for scrap. Oh well, the parts will be put to good use...

We decided to save the top due to the early pop up brakets and maybe somewhere down the road someone may need an early pop top.
