Well it’s winter and MAN do I ever miss driving in my gasoline soaked oxygen bus. This year I invested in an outdoor garage to store the bus in so I could keep the ice off it. The locks are old and cranky and really don’t like winter. Aside from the salt on these Ontario roads, the mere freezing air is enough to keep me from driving it because there is no heat to speak of. I have worn ski pants while driving in the spring or late fall though, which works but makes it look weird when I get out of the bus in a busy parking lot and everyone else is dressed in jeans like a normal person.

Anyway, back to my newly interior-decorated upgrade! Oh my, just wait until you see this beauty. The outside still looks like a rusty dogs breakfast (which I love by the way and have no intention of changing), but the inside will be akin to a lovely log cabin decked out in red buffalo plaid.

That’s my wee dog Jake. I haven’t taken him on any long journeys but on a few short ones. He sits like a king on his throne trygin to stick his nose through the screen to smell all there is to smell outside. I sewed all the curtains and made that cool tree pillow cover. Im working on making my own little ‘chair’ from high density foam and covering that as well in a combo of these fabric designs. The front seat cushions (which are just thin patio chair cushions) are currently green but I will cover those in plaid as well. More pics will follow but this is a beautiful interior. The only thing missing is a bearded man carrying an axe.

I’m counting down the weeks until the last salt is washed away from the roads and you’ll see Seamus out there on the roads polluting up the air while driving frustratingly slow. If you’re behind this ol’ bus, you’ll want to pass just to get out of the exhaust stream. But it’s so worth it. If you see me on the road, drop me a line and take a pic and send it. 🙂 Cheers
