Dear Friends:

Well, after training a driver for a month, keeping her well fed, she up and
quit. So we look again. Least she got free truck driving school.

While in Portland we did some fundraising and handed out flyers.

Then we noticed a water leak, fresh water. So after I got the driver safely out
the door, I parked the bus. Ripped the water tank out from under the bus, lots
of strategic sawing and modifying, and then today I got the iron out and welded
the top back on, fixed the holes, and slung it back under the bus. Ugly, but was
moving too fast to snivel or feel the pain.

The kids were a great help.

You can see the video here:

Onwards and upwards.

I sawed my right hand, crushed my left finger, OVER HERE, I got a blister on my
pinky!

Due to a wonderful gift to the project from the best donor (me) we now have a
new mac computer to load daily ride for freedom videos for you to watch. Rockin
man.

Anybody know any good non profit jokes?
