No pics tonight. Damn computer I use to upload pictures took a dump tonight. Network adapter issue, and the troubleshooter won't function. A virus perhaps???

Computer is finally up and running again (for now). The solution was to unplug the main power bar from the wall completely and wait awhile. Tuning off the power bar did not work. This tip came directly from my wife who learned it from one of the IT techs at work. I was skeptical, but it seems to have worked... Anyway pics for the event will be uploaded this weekend, but for now her is a picture of my lovely wife enjoying a fun day at the Victoria Volkfest 2022...  She is enjoying the accommodations of the Restfalia and probably eating something healthy. Which reminds me that I still have some uneaten PopTarts hiding in the bus... |

Sooo, lets get some more pictures up...  Because Don could not attend, I thought I would take a picture of this splitty for him. Why?  Big BFG knobbys of course! Looked good in this application...  I remember this bus from years past, and it still looks great. 1970 is the year...  Interior of the above bus is quite nice...  There actually was a nice selection of various bay window models.  Some where even painted non-original colours as well.  Brian's bus was looking pretty sweet as well... He admitted he had fun keeping up with mine at times... Continued... |

 Brian has made lots of changes in the interior of his bus. Modifications include new countertops, raised sink cabinet and added drawer, extra storage behind stove cabinet, new lower section below bed, added head banger cabinet, new curtains, and lots of other details...  The original Dorper built panel below the back seat was a dumb design. Brian made a much nicer design here too...  Now this bay was pretty special. Might just look like a lowered panel in this shot, but check out the other pictures...  It did have a camping interior of course, but that was not the main draw.  Check out that fully custom dash! Yes it is based on a Beetle, but has been heavily modified to fit this bus. Lots of work there...  The engine was highly detailed and obviously not stock, but I didn't hear what size it was. This project, based on a Brazilian bay window, won the bay category of course... Continued... |

Hopefully I won't be sick next year...
