Folks, there is only one bus on this trip way back  since Bacalar.  Rita,
Hunter & I are now out of Mexico safe &  sound. See the _BacalarBlog_
(http://poolio.net/bacalarblog/)  for complete  details. We're now in Watsonville,
California staying with our daughter  April and her husband Sal awaiting the
birth of their first child which will  make me a grandpa !  YIKES !
Anyway, looks like the baby is due for  the 24th through the 30 of April.  Just
when Syncro D'Mayo is taking  place.  Well, I'm gonna try to get there at
least for one or two days as  it's just over the hill from Watsonville.  I'm
busy this week getting the  van in order for the ride back to Almonte.  New
Agilis tires were put on to  replace the well worn ones, at Lloyds Tire Service
in Santa Cruz.  They had  a $60 rebate sale going on last weekend so we got
a major deal and the list  was only $113 each.  Came to $525.74 with all
the other add on's less the  rebate.  Tomorrow I'll be at Van-Cafe all day
haveing new Syncro.org  springs installed to get the ride height up.  After
hitting way too many  bottoms in Mexico with the supposedly correct BOGE
springs from the Bus Depot it  has come time to get them outta there and the van
raised up !  I see there  is an all air-cooled VW show up in San Jose this
Sunday so we all plan to be  there.  April w/babay, Sal, Bella (the new
Schnauzer), Rita, Hunter &  I.  Maybe see some of you there.

Please note  that I will be away from my business travelling in Mexico from
November 24, 2008  until April 30, 2009.  Parts orders will be processed
although not as  quickly as usual.  I will always be available for contact by
E-mail.  If you phone your call will be addressed by Greg T. Brown here and
he will  either call you back or advise you to contact me directly by
E-mail.  Details of this adventure are at _Buses in Bacalar_
