Thanks Jack, the only cure for MPD is a strong dose of shiny stainless, and the Bling Mobile has it, so I took the cure!
Jim, did you know you were closing in on Rogers bus while in SD? You seemed like you were set on Liberty. Still can't believe it.
Yippee Jimmy C, I'm thrilled for you... You sneaky bugger, did you have this in the works at Spearfish?
Nancy and I are really happy for you and Barb and can't wait to see and meet your better half.
Jim, good on you, that is just a great deal on your bus. You will enjoy doing business with Paul. Your PDI will be with a young fellow by the name of Ryan. You need to let them know that you need plenty of time with the coach because they are often busy. You can stay onsite for a few days if you need to, just ask.
When are you coming down? Jan and I would love to take you guys out to eat if you are going to hang around a few days.
Thanks, Mango for the good wishes.
Dale I didn't know until about 3:00 PM today when I got the urge. Before that I just passively considered it in the back of my mind. I knew it was a first class bus, but really didn't think of purchasing it. Haven't sold the farm yet and will still not be able to get away very much, BUT!
After Alek posted the listing I looked at it and my MPD got agitated and the pictures were soooo gooood, that when I showed them to Barb and she said I like it, why not give him ( Paul Davis) a call. I did that and in two minutes had a verbal deal with a check in the mail.
I bought the bus over the phone without an inspection, but I knew Roger took the best of care with it, and that it would probably be a long time if ever to find another in that condition.
The only things missing from my wish list were, enclosed toilet, independent suspension, and Howard Steering. With the used bus factory being closed I don't think I missed much. Also wanted the large fuel tank and don't know if it has that.
In all the posting discussion, no one expressed any special interest, so I don't think I stepped on anyone's toes.
Jim,
Remember us talking Wednesday morning in Spearfish after Roger et al left, and I said there is a butt for every seat. Way to go!! Congrats from Chris and me.

Jim,
Congratulations on the Bling Mobile; you made a good choice. That gives us another bus in NE Ohio.. Maybe someday we can have a mini rally in this part of the country.
Thanks, Tom, Ted, Denny, Jim and Chris.
Paul Davis on hearing that this was my first bus invited us to stay for a few days, so I could be taught the systems and get used to things. He said he preferred it that way over frequent phone calls.
Will definitely look you up Ted if it is at all possible.
Yes Jim and Chris, my but will fit the seat even though Roger disconnected the lumbar support.
Denny mini rallies are a certain possibility!
There is a lot to do now to rec. the bus. I have to contact Bennett, Explorer, and make the bus barn ready with a new door and 50 A plug etc.
