Is It Supposed To Do That?

I got my VW bus out of storage last week. It needs help with some electrical circuits before I drive it out to Nevada in August. I moved the fuse box so I could get at certain parts. I put the fuse box back in the general location but didn't snap it into place. When I went to start it, it ran fine for 10 seconds or so and then quit. I thought it just stalled but then I noticed smoke coming from under the dashboard. I turned off the key and disconnected the battery. My good friend, Nate, was there and he assures me it's nothing to worry about. That he's done much worse to a beetle in the past with no permanent effects. I'm hoping he's right. I don't want the thing to act possessed all the way to Burning Man.

Not New But Hopefully Improved

I met with a friend today who helped me with some settings on this blog. I guess I'm falling behind the tech curve because I couldn't figure it out on my own. I'm hoping that if anyone is still reading this from time to time that you will be able to post a comment now without a hassle of jumping through hoops.

Thanks again, friend (you know who you are).

The Photos has nothing to do with this post. I just like it.

Back in the Granite State

Well for those that don't know it already, I'm back in New Hampshire. The weather has been stellar - with comfortable daytime temps and temps at night that are perfect for sleeping. It's a welcome change from the roasting high 80's down in Kentucky.

I'm working on a number of projects at the moment from getting my bus out of storage and roadworthy to fixing cracked windows (should have been done a decade ago), fixing the sash weight so they don't slam and break again, and fixing a leaky roof.

I'm still planning on taking the month of August to travel to Nevada for Burning Man. This will likely be the last year I go.

Happy Summer Solstice.

The photo was taken right here in town.
