Subject: Families - what do they know?

I was having a discussion with my brother and my father on Saturday. I
love
my family but we couldn't be more opposite - my brother however IS my
dad in
a younger form. Anyhow, they were telling me I needed to get the 85
hauled
away and out of my driveway. I couldn't for the life of me make them
understand that while it may not have monetary value, it has a lot of
value
to me and I would rather get it running again. They just didn't get it.

Then again this was coiming from my brother who always has to have the
latest and greatest of everything and my dad who has an RV the size of a
freighter. I was wishing I had at least one bus loving person with me at
the
time though.

Another bit of bus stuff. I took my son to an N scale train exhibit at
the
local museum. One of the scenery sets had an old junk yard - and there
in
that yard in tiny little N scale was a Splittie. I thought it was cool.
