For us newer folks, what does the day consist of and what kind of work is usually performed It resembles an anthill with honey poured on it, and elbows and wrenches and people borrowing Bill's tools to work on their buses.

Congratulations, Bro!!!

I believe Bill does (or did) have an exhaust analyzer at the shop and we tried it on my bus last Tuneup Day, but it wasn't working right. Hopefully it is in workable condition now. It was like a mini-version of the one I used when I worked at E-Check, except smaller, and you could carry it around.

You have some Stones, Bro! Five years into buses and I still am afraid to tinker the engine. I admire your gumption! I hope to meet you this summer at the campouts!
