Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow
into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own
freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away
from you like the leaves of autumn.

Yea yea, it's snow in the back and i wish i would be elsewhere but hey, got
to work to pay that beast if i want to travel with it. Now you should here
that engine scream :-) Finally, i love that color, but it show every little
mistake (close to black) wile sanding it before in the final stage, we had
to wet sand the van (2 days) and polish this one in 2 step, it's now near
perfect. I'm an happy camper.

tons of work to do... ironic! as i thought i would finish this van in time
for a spring beak... bah, a Mexico trip is not that far :-(
