The Wheels on the Bus ...

They go round and round of course.  The bus in this case is my new Falcon panelvan.  Well not new, because the Wizard wasn't about to spring for a new vehicle and Ford haven't made the van for years.  This one is 17 years old.  And it shows.  In the last few months its had its transmission replaced, the cylinder head rebuilt, most of the suspension replaced and a new radiator.  I suppose most of the work wouldn't strictly be necessary for a runabout, but you see we're taking it for a big run up the east coast later in the year and everything has to be right.  The Wizard isn't about to lug my heavy butt across country if something goes wrong several hundred kilometers from nowhere.

Yes, we are going to visit Muzza and the girls in the north.  Mostly for a visit, but also to escape the southern winter.  I can't wait!  I don't get to socialize much unless you can count getting ogled by the Wizard's brother.  He doesn't get out much, the poor thing.
