Today, I’m in Potrero County Park which is very close to the border with Mexico. This allows my camping buddies to drive over and eat Paletas.

I had no problem installing new footstep rubber. I think that I sprayed some silicone schmutz on the underside. Certainly, you’re not re-using the 53-year-old ones? Are you? Tell me you’re not.

The last shop installed a new Empi alternator in my bus about 20k ago. It works fine. Bosch is not always the answer.

I got a ride home by a very nice driver.

If it ever rains in the UK (doubtful), catch a flight to the western USA where it will be warm and sunny. (R/T flights into Los Angeles are currently running at about £400) then rent a car (or Campervan) and come to a VW event/show/campout! There’s a few good ones coming up this spring.
