Hey Guys:

I used to be BrianBrownMC8, but on the way back to Colorado, I traded the 8 for a Fishbowl. LONG story! If you've got some time, the whole story is here... http://www.browncowpro.com/bus/swap.htm

Pictures of the new bus are here... http://www.browncowpro.com/bus/index.htm

Now that I actually have a bus where I live (see LONG story above), I plan on continuing the conversion and being an active member of the community. And hopefully a contributing one.

Thanks to all of busnuts out there that helped me get into this crazy hobby in the first place.

Sorry, Charles, I do need to finish the story. My wife caught me spending too much time writing about the bus and now I'm building bunk beds for the kids (in the house). Crrr-ack!

I'll try to finish the saga tonight.

Okay, for you gluttons for more punishment...

Here's Page Two of the Swap Saga:
http://www.browncowpro.com/bus/swap2.htm

This could turn out to be serialized, like the old stories in the paper.

Enjoy,
Brian

Hey keep it up, FBB, and you're gonna be in rivalry with R. Terry, our reigning storytelling champion. Your abilities to spin a tale just might exceed your skills in 'horse-trading' sensibilities! :)

He's one of the handful of busnuts I've met in real life, so I feel I can give him a poke in the ribs - he knows I'm just funnin'...

besides, Coloradans already loathe Texans anyway...

It wouldn't surprise me if they made a movie out of it!

"The good; The Bus; and the Ugly"

I'll let you guys sort that out.....

RE: "The rest" Ouch! Tough crowd.

Anyways, the third and final chapter to the saga is online. This one reveals sliver of a silver lining at the end of the Bus Swap rainbow, albiet a slightly tarnished one.

But I thought MCI stood for "mostly crap,Invariably".
Har, Har, Har!
Of course there is the line of thought that says, GMC: "Generally Moved Covertly".
Or for the puritans, "General Mess of Crap".
