I was informed via an e-mail nicely, that the reason my "blog" isn't a "success" is that it's about a commercial thing and people see the link as "spam".

Egads!

Well, I suppose this thing COULD be seen as such... but it really isn't commercial... and I'd like to think it's got a bunch of possibilities... and already has yielded some ramblings that MIGHT be useful to some...

For example, there's already been postings about...

#1: Defending myself on message boards (NOT RELATED TO BUSES AND THINGS BUSLY OR ABOUT THIS BLOG) as I'm not a true right-wing Christian American upstanding guy. (I'm kind of a centre-right, Judeo-Christian Ethic Living Canadian.)

#2: My standard rant about "so-called" sceptics.

...and you can bet there's more to come... I mean, I haven't addressed my disgust for the destruction of historic sites, buildings, and yes, vehicles.

...then of course there's my disdain for certain bits of scientific peer review.

...then there's my problems with...

Well, you get the picture.

Although, "officially", this blog is SUPPOSED to be about us getting RLH 3, I do LOVE to go "off topic" and, in many ways, I am prevented from TRULY venting/commenting in many of the other forums I frequent (EVEN MY OWN!), this blog SHOULD act as a wee bit of a sounding board.

So, DON'T BE FOOLED! Although there's an "official" reason for this blog, you'll probably see paranormal stuff, historical stuff, and Gosh know's what else... and yeah, I welcome comments, critiques, and kudos... provided that they're constructive and based on the topics at hand... not on my personality or lack thereof as it's seen.

So, how do I get more people to read this blog? How do I prompt comments? How do I perhaps EVEN get help/information in acquiring the buses???

Time will tell... and the offers of help have ALL been gratefully acknowledged... who knows, perhaps sooner than later, the blog will be to help the one person I've corresponded to get her hearse... and about our trials and tribulations, joyful though they will be, trying to fix-up RLH 3!

...and no, naked pictures of me or nude celebs are NOT in the cards...

One man's trash...

Now you might not-so-mistakenly think this is about RLH 3 and her possibly fate being scrapped to "pay" for her storage fees with her aluminum, but you'd be wrong...

I live in a VERY old building... it's well over 80 years old in fact... and all the apartments have old ice boxes. We have one in our place and use it for storage.

Well, the building management, in a vein attempt to look "modern" are renovating all the kitchens here as the apartments become available... and removing the ice boxes.

Seeing opportunity in what is being tossed in the garbage, the super has told me that the next box to be pitched is mine and into storage here which is GREAT as I want something in the RLH to act as a cooler, but don't wish to carve/cut/permanently damage the bus to allow it... and wiring would be problematic... and to simply jam a Colman Cooler looks... well... tacky. Besides, an "ice box" is period proper to the bus really and gives us counter space WHEN the time comes.

Granted, I checked my Super Seven (big Ontario lottery) tickets and... well, perhaps another time.

Either way, one building's trash will hopefully be our treasure... and a great addition for the cunning plans!
