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.
