other dog Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 ...it would probably look something like this. We followed this bus up rt. 501 from Gladys to Rustburg. When it pulled into a gas station we pulled in right behind it. I asked the owner if I could take some pictures and he said "help yourself". All the guys, and the familiar looking woman "Jo-bingo", in the picture started pulling out their cell phones and cameras to take pictures of it. The owner is the guy standing by the gas pump. He said it used to be a real bus, and him and "a lot of buddies" built it. Even still has the door control lever by the driver's seat-an awesome looking vehicle, even though by the looks of that engine he probably doesn't pass too many gas stations without stopping .It's a pretty short bus- yeah, I could see Larry taking Rob to school in this...

other dog Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 Now 'ur thinking that Rob would go to school! He did! That's why he's so smart-said he spent 14 years getting a high school diploma. Most people call it quits after 12 years, but he went above and beyond- spent 2 years in the third grade and 2 years in the sixth grade just to make sure he didn't miss anything, and now he's a rocket scientist. That's dedication right there! Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

other dog Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 So now he has an associates degree in high school? I'm not sure about that, but he has a B.S. degree in high school-most people have to go to college to get one of them ***note-Rob is on a field trip, so it's OK to talk about him behind his back today*** Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Freightrain Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I've seen pics of that before. Pretty cool to see it in person!! At a Ford event in Columbus every year, a really stock appearing one about that year shows up. I think he camps in it for the weekend? A little rough on the edges, but neat none the less.BTW, Rob had problems yesterday and didn't make it over to see me. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Rob Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 He did! That's why he's so smart-said he spent 14 years getting a high school diploma.

That's dedication right there! Wanna know something that is the absolute truth? I was 24 years old when I graduated high school in December, 1984. I was also the only one of my "litter" not "retained in kindergarten" out of five of us. Again, those two items are factual with no bullshit added. I started school in the fall of 1965, so that seems like 19 years of education if I learned to count correctly. No wonder I'm so f8@#$%9 smart!! Almost a genius, I am.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

3rdWrightBrother Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Here's another school bus for everyone, not quite as low but about the same length! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmer52 Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 You are a bunch of young pups! I am an old fart, old enough to be thinking about retirement but poor enough to keep working!
