BUCKY VAN ADVENTURES "I haven't been everywhere yet, but its on my list"
Bucky Diary Feb 2019
Our Van Bucky spent the third week getting some major engine servicing done and he is still resting at home. I got the timing belt and water pump changed, all belts replaced and a major service as well as new spark plugs and rocker cover gasket, as was leaking oil into the spark plugs. This set me back around $1200. But if the timing belt broke it would cause major engine damage. You are meant to get it done every 90,000kms. I went to Al's Automotive in Kelmscott and was very happy with the quality of service I got. I would recommend him if your wishing to get your van checked before doing the Big Lap,
I have been sleeping in Bucky, in the front yard, with Ollie ocassionally, and this dog, keeps a mean watch. Sits up most of night peering out the one way windows. He woke me up, growling multiple times at the cat next door. The strange thing is this. I sleep better in Bucky than in my own bed.
Bucky is waiting for wife to finish caring for her father. In the meantime, I have some odd jobs around home, to keep me busy. Side Fence Installation ($97), Security Camera Installation ($299) and small modifications on Bucky.
This Boat is taking a while to launch.
