So how many old cane rattlers do you think you can fit in YOUR bus,
bunkie?  As is my quaint custom I drove some 'cane rattlers' and
'geef' to and fro yesterday to help em do 'stuff'.  Our local veterans
group offers a 'shuttle' service and a bowl of chili to those who need
it.  We put five cane rattlers, two geef, and one straightleg in on
one of the trips.  Yeah, not enough seatbelts but whatcha gonna do?
Talk about stimulating conversation!  Geef and  cane rattlers in
animated and pointed discussion regarding that quaint custom I
mentioned previously.

We did a bunch of trips, no idea how many 'geef', gomers, cane
rattlers or marginally able shared the bus, but it was a lot.

Always get a 'I useta have one of these' or 'It don't sound like my
old veedub'  We have a small, folding stepstool to assist those who
struggle with the giant leap into the back and it got a real workout
yesterday.  Bessie the charolais camper did fine, geef hauling,
keeping her opinions to herself, now if she could pass that on to
others....

I did get an offer to buy the road diva.  But 25000$ just isn't
enough.  Reminds me to upgrade the old insurance policy.  I do that
once a year as the value of Syncro Westfaliae increases each year.
For a real reality dip, visit gowesty.com and look at the sold vans.
Holy COW!  (a charolais is a large french cow).  These divae are
TWENTY YEARS OLD....Yeah, Joel, I know, having a twenty something
sharing your life can be really interesting.  But I digress, as I
often do.  Change yer smoke alarm batteries, check your fuel lines,
change the brake fluid, swap the tires around, check the belts, drain
and refill the water tank, drain and refill the cooling system, lube
the speedo shaft, grease the shifting box, change the oil again to
winter grade,  check the taillights ( right one had gone to taillight
heaven, I discovered before the snakes on a bus incident), refill the
windshield wishywashy with winter grade washywishy (local
colloquialism here), new blades,  clean and lube the seat
sliders...the tasks never end.  Why do we do this?  Don't we know
better?  TWENTY YEAR OLD DODDERING OLD LADIES?  We put scads of cash
and years of time into 'em.  Gotta be a sickness or something.  heh
