I had the bus out for a short run around town Sunday the 19th but I forgot to make a post here.  That was the first time I had started and had it out since January.  SO, today I wanted to go out again for  much longer run.  Barry and I took her down to Livingston Ky, ate lunch at 909 truck stop, and returned.  Round trip was 138 miles.  Once again the bus ran flawlessly.  This engine seems to run on the cool side and it take quite a while to actually get it up to 180 degrees.  I noticed that after about 30 minutes on the interstate and after pulling a few good hills she seemed to run even better and the engine seemed to pull better.

By the time we got back the temp in Lexington was 82 and sunny... which made for a very warm ride without any air conditioning.  I really need some money or a very good deal on a generator so I can run the front roof air while driving.

I am so pleased with how this bus consistently performs.  I have quite a few pesky air leaks that I need to work on but nothing that prevents running her down the road.
