We need to raise about $3000 to pay for all of the parts. If you want to give towards getting the bus back on the road you can do so by sending a check to The Well Ministries, be sure to mark it “bus fund”. For other options on donating, click here. If you want [...]

The teacher had said it could be a few weeks before they could get to doing the work on the bus since the students were still in the theory part but they must have been excited to see the bus because he called us already with a preliminary list of needed parts. It’s not too [...]

On the way to the school for the inspection work the rear airbag blew out. Lou was following in the van and said it was about the scariest thing he ever saw in his life. One good thing is that they were only a few miles from the school so they drove it leaning to [...]

We haven’t had an opportunity to use the bus too much so we figure inspection shouldn’t be too bad. But we do know that a few things need fixed up. A friend, who has been learning to fix diesel engines, asked his school if they would consider taking the bus as a project and doing [...]

It’s been a long process to get this thing fixed. No one seemed to be able to help us find the fuse. Every fuse we found was good so we were not locating the right one. A friend came by and offered to help find the fuse. His electrical background realized that it wasn’t a [...]

On our way to the gig last Sunday someone told us the brake light was out. We haven’t been able to find the fuse to fix it. Got a call into a bus specialist to tell us where the fuse IS. Still trying to tell the lady about closing her window. She’s still not too [...]

Had to replace the batteries in the bus. There are 4 of them too! We found a company that gave us wholesale price on purchasing them so we were able to get better batteries for less than half the price! We made sure to tell the lady next door to shut her window before we [...]

This morning while we were getting ready for church Lou was running the bus a little to try to charge the batteries and the lady next door called the fire company for carbon monoxide fumes. So several fire trucks and police cars were parked in front of the house…again. Apparently the bus fumes were going [...]

On the way to get the bus inspected, the power steering went. It sprung a leak in a hose. Gary and Lou tried to fix it but were unable to find the right tool to get into the mechanism. So we had to have the bus towed to a garage that could fix it.

This past weekend we journeyed to Mt. Pines Resort near Seven Springs. We were invited to do a puppet show for their Sunday Morning service. We took the bus up Saturday night and stayed over. Gary did a great job maneuvering the bus through the campground, even backed it into a spot like a pro. [...]
