Just got in from replacing the front brakes on the van. Getting ready for a trip west next month and I thought brakes would be handy going through the Rockies.

Getting her ready for 4 days of camping out of the van next week; one night with some musician friends, so lots of guitar playing, and 3 with some motorcycle friends. Can't wait!

I got inspected!! My neighbor who, I grew up with, And is by the way probably one of the best mechanics in the state if not country, Inspected Jack at his garage. I know what you are thinking.."That was an easy pass! (Jack is the name my grand son chose, so its Jack)  WRONG! Rick cares about his friends and neighbors, So he is even more intense of an inspector. He was very impressed with the van over all and said it was one of the cleanest vans he has seen. It was a fleet van and has 143.000 on it. It has a clean bill of health and he gave me a "heads up" on things that might not pass next year. So I'm happy and relieved Pup. After all, I drive my grand kids in this van, so a tough inpection is good.

Yes Jack is rough but spotless!! He is a fantastic driver and I feel like a true vanner again. There are many plans in the works and when money is better, change will be made. For now we are keeping him healthy. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/pupetrucker/OurNewVan.jpgThis is a pic at the home of the couple we bought him off from. Looking forward to may great years and runs... Pup
