There were projects afoot on the beach this week! Kerry installed the storm cloud portion of the broken-dish mosaic in the bathroom (continued from ming the mosaic in last week's episode), while Mike installed a wind turbine (for generating electricity) on the roof of the bus! The verdict is still out on the wind turbine, as we need to use it for longer to give it a fair review. As for the dinner-plate mosaic, there are still 4 more sections to create and install before grouting the whole thing, so expect that work to continue for a while!

About Us:
Hi! We're Mike & Kerry, the proud owners of a 1992 Bluebird rear engine (pusher), 40' school bus! We named her Bussy McBusface in honor of the RRS Boaty McBoatface travesty!
We built a Tiny-Home-in-a-Bus for full-time living in the most adventure-friendly way possible. Bussy was never meant to be parked in a driveway, waiting for weekend trips or holiday getaways. After we finished the build, we packed everything we kept into the bus and drove away from our old house and into the world of off-grid living, aka boondocking, and endless travel adventures!
Since we planned to be boondocking the majority of the time, we made choices such as; a 100-gallon water tank, an Air Head composting toilet, a 1500w solar power system with 1000Ah in AGM batteries, etc. We'd love to have you stick around and follow us on our journey, from our Skoolie Build Series, to infinite buslife adventures beyond!
Mike & Kerry

Deer on the beach! You get the best shots! Kerry the tile is wonderful! Mike seeing you talk about how much fun you are having fishing is delightful. You've put a lot of work into getting the bus able to travel in and in maintaining everything. You deserve to have as much fun as possible. I'm thrilled that things are working out for both of you.

Hi Mike, Hi Kerry, Kerry your Mosaic looks absolutely brilliant, it certainly finishes off that panel. Once again Mike good fix on the generator, just proves your point about staying on the beach and besides the wear on the bus metal..Hope you can work something out with the Turbine as every little helps. Its good to see you both looking so well and you enjoying the beach Kerry, thank you for my card with the shells I loved it.. Loved the size of that fish, I wonder if while building the bus you ever thought you would meet such nice people, but for me they are also lucky to meet you two.. Take care of each other, stay safe, love you both..K..

A Hershey's kiss size dollop will squish out insuring contact adhesion. Apply the dollop bring connection togeather then pull apart (the intention is to pull apart leaving strings of adhesive to air approx 5 minutes increasing surface area causing acceleration of cure increasing contact bond strength)

Seeing those storm clouds reminded me of the time that I (a Michigan chick) was down in Gulfport, Mississippi at the beginning of hurricane season. I was on the beach with some friends (who actually live there) and these nasty looking storm clouds starting rolling in. I was looking straight out at the ocean and on the left the clouds came in and were moving to the right. I didn't really move my head but my eyes moved from the clouds to my friends like "Um...in Michigan when we see storm clouds like that...um...we take shelter". My friend just waved it off and said, "Ah...it will blow threw". LOL, he was right it did.

Hey y’all! Still digging your content! Love seeing the progression of Kerry’s mosaic work! Looking forward to hearing more about that Wind turbine experience. From everything I’ve seen about wind turbines, the rule of thumb seems to be, “go tall or go home!”😝 I think you have to get at least 30 feet off the ground for it to be consistently effective. Just my impressions… Love to see where you go with it! Thanks again for everything!✌😎

best fix for water in fuel is propane gen and propane never goes bad. water in fuel came from gas station to you're fuel can to gen. i never empty a fuel can and fill up at 1/4 tank because of the crap in bottom of tank. 50 years being a mechanic i have fixed a ton of fuel problems. yes i have propane gen and would never use gas :)

Need to get you an automatic spitter valve for your air tank. I got a 110volt one with a built-in timer for my shop air compressor for about 20.00 bucks. Has worked for 3 years now. I also added a 110v Harbor Freight timer because I don't need it blowing off every so many minutes all day long.

it is so nice to see you two enjoying your life seeing the country and continuing the bus build and repairs. Very few bus build channels seem to learn what makes their bus tick and repair it themselves it's very refreshing to see real life and what is involved in bu sees life ... ever since seeing jaws in the 70s I've always made a point of never swimming in a body of water that is big enough to grow a fish large enough to put me on the food chain. Love your mosaic and the ham radio stuff too.You ever pay attention to how loud it is at the coast I never noticed it until we went inland a few miles

Your Mosaic is looking amazing Kerry can't wait to see it actually finished it is just beautiful I was kind of a skeptic like a lot of people if it would actually stay up as well as it has it is just amazing and just absolutely beautiful. Love getting to see the deer on the beach that is totally awesome definitely an unusual sighting maybe not for people that live down there but for others was definitely a surprise to get to see so thanks for sharing that. Yeah I bet Mamacita is loving the beach and all the sands she gets to play in. That was awesome of people to share that fish with yall and then to give Mike a pole and fishing gear to use for fishing in the ocean, Mike I know that made your day getting to fish in the ocean like that and I know you're going to have some more fun doing it again with them it's just amazing and here you talk about it was awesome. Yall have definitely met some amazing people down there and bus life is amazing it's very interesting to see the people yall have gotten to meet. God bless yall.

#1 as fuel is used the consequenc is atmosphere drawn into fuel tank, tank cools water vapor condenses = water in fuel repetition of process addes more water to fuel, back in the day carburetors had a valve (petcock) to drain the water, these days all fuel has alchohol which compounds the problem. The quick answer is always run the device untill empty or drain & replace with new fuel or swift & often topping off fuel tank however fuel storage in seperate can suffers from the same problem. In addition modern carburetors have a rubber composite diagram gasget that suffers from gasoline / alchohol mix & must be replaced yearly or more frequently. Riding along with the water vapor are botanical algae, yes the problem is continuous Permanente fix is convert to propane fuel (sealed storage). For you one must become accustomed to draining the water, replacement of diaphragm, cleaning of filters, tanks, fuel bowls. Your diesel bus probably has a water seperator filter that has to be drained / replaced periodically. All the same reasons you have to blow off the compressed air tank for your brake system. The algae found in carburetor will clog the filter & you need detergent to clean the carb, it has been suggested that pinesol is a great carb soak cleaning agent , disassembled parts are left to soak 24 hrs then cleaned and dried. It is best to obtain the filters, diaphragm and parts in advance thus one can quickly be back up and running plus once you have a new diaphragm in hand it becomes easy to identify a (used, worn, damaged) part. A can of start fluid is handy as well.

I mentioned the idea to ( I think it was ) Life is a joy or Steampunk Steve a few month ago. Response was they have enough solar and a generator 😎 but also mentioned that a few buses have wind turbines on their roof. Since I do not have one of those and also do not have a bus..... I obviously have no glue about data. As for the mounting... If you mount it on a hinge, it should be easier to take down and set up and it also would have it's permanent place so you could run permanent wiring .

Is it possible to attach an inline air dryer as used on compressors, on the generator breather? Also, the Honda cools by sucking air from the bottom, which is why it's best to keep it off sand and dirt. Best to place it on a sheet of ply or cardboard.

Seems that wind turbine theory is not so much needing an addition factor of about 10 yes 10 turbines your size in order to accomplish your goal (recharge your batteries) 10 times the cost 10 times the equipment wires & electronic controllers plus more batteries & then factor in the rate of failure it becomes a nightmare. Good luck!
