End of silversides project for now and off to a free diesel fuel stop and then back home to Indiana

Sorry to busy working today To shoot a lot of video. Thanks Richard for the free fuel from his commercial filling network station. Sage has to be back at work Monday so we will pick up in a couple weeks where we left off. It’s very close to done. Happy to be back home in Indiana tonight.

Being a split window Vw bus pilot that longs for the open road , watching the scenic miles thru Lenny’s split front glass and your lovely wife’s feet up on the dash, you make us feel like we’re right there with you .

[@enwri]

Mine felt like I was piloting a zeppelin. On windy days leaning forward with both hands at 12 o'clock on the wheel, arms straight was the automatic sidewind compensator. Wind blows car out from under you, bodyweight and straight arms pivoting from the waist turned into the wind automatically.

[@sinistersparky9657]

Right? Thanks for the video 😊

[@richardcline1337]

Kind of hard on my eyes right now because watching the highway through the windshield and the wife leaning back relaxing in the copilot's seat brought back some of the fondest memories I've ever had in my life. We used to do that in an old Allegro motor home we fixed up and drove a lot. Sadly, today, twenty years ago, she went home to be with the Lord and my world hasn't been much fun since. You really don't know until things change like that just what really living is all about. Scott and his wife have found that magic button that makes moments like this irreplaceable.

Cool fan, looks like it will make it go 10 mph faster. Lenny seems louder, maybe there isn't any more glass left in your glass pack. The people in the GoBus are getting an ear full.
