Sorry I haven't been able to write sooner, but leaving for 3 weeks during our busiest time of the year does have it's penalties, and I've been drowned in paperwork and phone calls.
angel comes to your aid. Thanks for the story.....
You are now my new best friend

and you are very welcome

install a fuel gauge. . . .adjust your generator fuel pickup so it is somehwere between 1/2 and 1/4
Yeah, I know, I know, but then would I have had this good story for you guys? I'm sure BigBus will get EVERYTHING, and yes, on it, the tube does stop before the bottom of the tank!
You should bundle all your traveling adventures into a book. In fact, it could be made into a movie (it would be better than "The Long Long Trailer" with Dezi Arnez & Lucille Ball). Now, who will play the 2 lead characters?? Jack
Well, actually, I really just thought you guys were all being "nice" about my posts, and of course, Larry, well, he's SUPPOSED to say nice stuff about my writing, but the funniest thing happened. I had a list of a bunch of e-mail addresses for members of my class, and when I sent the "shreddy the blown tire" story to them, even those "non-bus" people insisted they wanted me to send more stories and write a book. I've been offered an illustrator, editor and publicist, all members of my very large graduating class, ha ha. Of course, I told Larry we're going to have to take a LOT more trips before I have enough material for a book, and then as we reviewed our life time together over the last 20+ years, we came to the sad realization that our entire life together is nothing but a conglomeration of hilarious incidents.

As for lead characters. . .hmmm, as much as I'd pick Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, I'm afraid it'd be more likely they use Steven Corel and Kathy Griffin.

Christy gathered too many ROCKS in the bay
haha, well, not that I haven't gathered plenty of junk in the past, actually, Christy forgot to project 15 hrs of genny usage into the future when she did her, ahem,

, calculations.
Great story...Could happen to anyone..lol
THANK YOU!

guys on this board that are saying "Damn, that Larry is one lucky son-of-a-bitch, I wish I had a Christy"
Yeah, well, you can be SURE

that's not the thoughts going through his mind as the engine is sputtering and he's eyeing 4 more miles of construction cones in front of him, ha ha.

I ran out, in the truck stop, 100 yards from the pumps. . .Angel are people that watch over us in times of need
Now, I've got to think that running out that close to the pumps would be more than even I, could bear,

.
Me, I'm thinking that either our Angel is getting tired,

, or he's got QUITE a good sense of humour

and is just sitting back enjoying the ride!

Just tell Larry that someone must have siphoned fuel from your tank, You are off the hook, right?
Hey! Where were you when I needed you?

Man. . why didn't I THINK OF THAT??!?!?

You guys are a hoot! Love Christy
