Someone doesn't like the bus It seems that someone in Denver Parking doesn't like my bus. The day after we got back from San Diego, I had a ticket on my window for expired plates. Granted, they had been expired for a year, but I did have a trip permit. I wrote a letter and got it reduced from $30 to $15. Today, they got me again, this time b/c I didn't have a front license plate on the bus. WTF?! All it's doing is sitting in front of our house! My guess is that whoever is handing out these tickets is actually one of my neighbors and doesn't like VWs. We need to get our house finished so we can move all our crap out of the garage and into the house - then I can move the bus in there and being "the project."

Since our builder's passing, Julie has taken over as General Contractor. It's been pretty nuts around here with me working 80 hour weeks and her interviewing and managing a bunch of different contractors. 7 days and counting. Come on little one - we're ready.

Hi Matt, Just wanted to say that I'm your newest fan! I recently graduated... started working... stumbled across your website... and man. You're such an inspiration!!! :-p I hope I can be like you someday... minus the 80 hours work weeks ^_~ Hope your house gets completed soon. (Did you really grow up in a cabin without electricity? Or am I being too naive? But why would you lie? (O_o) ) Best wishes for your family and that bus of yours :-D

Yep - in beautiful Swan Valley, Montana. Here's a picture to prove it - click on it to zoom in.
