It's not a good time of day for photos and since people are just arriving I'll get some photos later. But here are a few snap shots just to show the lay of the land.

I had an awesome day. I learned some crap they don't teach you in the book from ray cox on tuning up my rack. 15 min into a conversation with him my valve covers are off, idle screw is out, and our fingers were all dirty and he's showing me "the feel" on my injectors. He's showing me the "Feel this tightness here" like this. He's wiggling it and got me holding it.. it being the injector rack because that could sound kinda dirty, well it was dirty but not that kinda dirty. Oh well im not sure how to say any of this without sounding perverted so excuse me for the train wreck. He Then put a big pair of vice grips on the throttle linkage and they then became a "lever type action" when tighting the injector tube any little movement is compounded out at the end of the lever. Fine tuning and first hand someone telling you and showing you where to stick your finger and moving something for you to feel tension and type of movement is not anything I could learn from a book. I know it sounds stupid but for me it was great. But I love dirty oily hands and playing with tools. I had a great day sitting around talking and got to tour some buses, wrench on some buses, talk to people about freaky little detail solutions they came up with for the tiniest of things for example like a seat footrest latch was modified and repurposed for a totally different use. Made new friends and got to see and talk with "previous friends" <--- didn't want to call them out as being old

hehe. Anyway I loved it today. It was a perfect bus day for me. It's 1:30am I should go to sleep so I can wake up and have another great day.

Oh and one more thing... Is it a requirement that if you own an eagle bus, it must be extremely clean and shine like a gangsta rappers teeth? They are far beyond my definition of perfection on detailing.... All of them I've only been to one rally and it was Blytheville. That was mostly gm's so I have never seen a bunch of eagles together before, but real birds must respect them too because I noticed there isn't any bird crap on em either, and bugs must dodge their windshields. They get 100 bonus respect points in my book for setting the bar higher. I feel like My little bus that was saved from going to a scrapyard is very mad at me for not making it an eagle.

I just quickly walked around with my iPhone and took a few shots to share.

My image upload app keeps failing. I'll try to upload the rest of the buses later

That only the tip of the iceberg there on Eagles you should see the gathering of the birds at Quartzsite some years get Bryon Pigg to show you the floor in his Eagle I hope it doesn't rain Bryon will be in the rain drying his

I see Red Ruby's Eagle that is a gorgeous bus and it has a real engine a Cat 425 hp yes sir you have a lot of Eagle pride there rust and all

Watch the guy in the gray Eagle that rides the 3 wheel Cushman you never know what Ward will come up with I sure wish we could have made it but wasn't in the cards

enjoy
