Car? The guy told me it was a time machine. But when I dialed in 1977, sure enough, nothing changed.

[RuMR]

damn E...that's some nice work...

[Choada_Boy]

Your bed looks about big enough for one. Serious problem there, I'd say. Unless...

[billcoe]

damn E...that's some nice work...

 

Absofrigganloutly, bet it rides plush too. How much time and money do you think you have in it e?

[EWolfe]

Thanks for the nice comments. I have about 150 hours and 3K into it, but it will be my home when I move to FLAGSTAFF in February, via Bishop, JTree, Moab...

 

:moondance:

[chris]

WTF??? You're leaving the sunny and wonderful community of Bellingham?

[EWolfe]

I feel like a pariah in my home town.

 

In all my 18 years of travelling, living and climbing, never have I met a tougher town than Bellingham.

Not that I am the most socially effervescent person, but, Damn. 4 years and not a single regular climbing partner.

methinks its YOU!

 

[ken4ord]

Damn man that is awesome work you did on your rig. I been wanting one of those for a longtime, though here it wouldn't be so good unless I lifted and had 4 wheel drive. Have fun traveling, and good luck with the move.

[DirtyHarry]

After you move to Flagstaff can I bivy in your van when I come down to climb?

What????? You're not willing to eat dirt and grow a thick coat of mold while begging out a sub-subsistence living on the corner of Railroad and Holly?? Can't handle the pressure of trying to beat out 400 applicants for that third interview for a postion as a dishwasher at Diamond Jim's??

 

And, you might have more climbing partners is you could tell the difference between Baker and Shuksan.

[tradclimbguy]

Wow, that is great lookin. Nice work man. I've redone a couple interiors before and that is a heck of alot of work. I did the same bubble insulation and expando foam. Instead of fiberglass though I did a second layer of the bubble wrap and left an air pocket. I was too worried about condensation and mold in the insulation. Next time it might be good to throw an extra layer of plastic over the entire set of insulation just to make sure it never gets wet.

 

Man, that is just great work. Excellent rig.

[Chad_A]

Awesome work. Now, get a set of old Cragar Mags, and a cool airbrush painting for the side.

 

Fu Manchu, "Chevy Van"

 

I gave a girl a ride in my wagon

she crawled in and took control

She was tired as her mind was a draggin'

I said get some sleep--and dream of rock n roll

 

cause like a princess she was laying there

moonlight dancing off her hair

She woke up and took me by the hand

She's gonna love me in my Chevy van

And that's all right with me

 

Her young face was like that of an angel

her long legs were tanned and brown

Better keep your eyes on the road son

Better slow this vehicle down

 

'cause like a princess she was laying there

moonlight dancing off her hair

She woke up and took me by the hand

She's gonna love me in my Chevy van

And that's all right with me

 

I put her out in a town that was so small

You could throw a rock from end to end

A dirt road main street, she walked off in barefeet

it's a shame I won't be passin' through again

 

'cause like a princess she was laying there

moonlight dancing off her hair

She woke up and took me by the hand

We made love in my Chevy van

And that's all right with me

He's going to Arizona. It's dry there.

Sure thing Bud!

 

I just figured out tonight there IS room for a guest on the floor, even your lanky ass!

 

Plus, contrary to Chaoda Boy's belief, I built in an extra 6 inches on the side of the twin (stuffed with clothing) to make a double. 8D

Erik, I just love that you're ever the optimist. Have a good weekend, I look forward to part II.

[G-spotter]

E, if it's a double, shouldn't you advertise a little bit more than 6 inches?

[Dechristo]

mebbee he's of East Indian descent and is already stretchin' the truth
