62 degrees, partly cloudy to sunny in the afternoon. The bus is almost done. One more part which will come in on Tues. I don't have to get up at 630 am anymore!!
Cute puppy named Rainy in the waiting room today. Very sweet and friendly. The current masterpiece in progress is getting close to being done. The center is a piece of dichroic glass I fused. It is stitched with copper and gold metallic thread. It is about 6 inches in diameter now. The pine needles are dyed black.
Latest completed masterpiece. It has a crystal on the front. The dyed needles are not as bright indoors. It is 5 1/2 x 2 3/4 inches. The center is a piece of dichroic glass I beveled and polished.
Close up of the dichroic center I fused, beveled and polished. $5.45 diesel, we put 49 gallons into our tank, plus filled the car with gas. We hope to be done here this week and head out.
My new hiking boots came in today at REI. They are wonderful. My old boots were in pretty bad shape, I had sewn up the blown seam on the front side and it is starting to come out. They are still waterproof tho. The new ones are wider and hopefully won't blow out on me later.
It was 70n today and mostly sunny. We had dinner outside this evening watching sunset.
I sat on the top of the bus to photograph sunset. The view of the other coaches in the parking lot, plus our solar panels on top. I finished this master piece. Dyed pine needles, glass beads and the center is a piece of dichroic glass I fused. It is 6 x 2 1/2 inches.
Side view. Busy morning at the bus. Josh and John watching the water heater drain, Josh working on the water heater inside, the water heater outside and inside, John fixing the cruise control in the 'smart steering wheel'. The water heater can run on either electric or propane. It would be fixed, then now work, replace another part, fixed, then not, a whole cascade of parts and finally the propane works and a part for the electric is on order. We are now waiting for the water heater part, a strap for one of the awnings and a hinge for a cupboard door. Then with luck we will be done.
I started this basket during the work. We went for a hike with Scott and Leslie in the afternoon. Field of camas. It was 75 and sunny.

Sunflower, Testing the waterproofness of my new boots, they passed, bigfoot skeleton across the river from us, and a gopher snake. And some wild clouds we saw. Scott and John on the trail ahead of us in a huge meadow.
