After picking up the Other One from Georgia, I had quite a few unexpected expenses to get me up to Ohio to work the Dark Star Jubilee. That is to be expected, and although it was rough on the pocket, she drove like a dream! I was so happy with how she handles, I didn't want to stop driving!
Once we got her to site, there were some obvious plumbing issues that thankfully got taken care of but some of the guys I work with at the festival. (This was definitely a great first experience for us to be at, because a lot of her flaws got taken care of then.)
After 2 weeks of staying on the bus we took her home and she got to live right in front of the house for a few weeks. I have just recently moved her to my good friend, Say's house, where she will be living until Jimmy and I take off in August. Until then, I am going to be working on some interior shelving and closet space so that when we set out West, we can actually fully live in the bus and have plenty of storage space! Time to get on the 'ol tool belt!
And YES, she has a name finally! The Other One came to be because like most things in our life, is reflected upon the Grateful Dead. One verse of the Other One says, "the bus came by and I got on, that's where it all began." This holds true for us and our life through meeting, our love for travel and love for the music of the Grateful Dead. Cannot wait for Jimmy to get home and experience all the love and happiness I have already experienced from this great purchase. SO many years of adventure to come!
