Steve Hills left TFL today. We were neighbors when I lived in upstate NY. He did the architectural plans for the rebuild of my house while he was an architectural student...saving me a bundle of money. He also worked with me as a carpenter on the rebuild and on a big barn renovation. He and his wife moved to Hawaii 6 years ago but are heading back to NY with 2 little girls in tow. Steve bought this bus about 10 years ago and shipped it over to the island. Took him 4 years to rebuild the engine in his spare time (and probably another 4 to finish the body and interior). The wife and kids flew back east a couple of weeks ago while Steve closed up shop on the island. Cost him $1700 to ship
the gherkin back to the mainland (Seattle) and he is slowly making his way back home to the land of snow, rock salt, and rust. 82,95,73,0,B
NOTE: This is the last time I smoked pot. He brought some from Colorado and couldn't take what was left of it back through the border patrol checkpoint - so he left about an 1/8 oz here. I smoked a little of it then traded the rest for a frozen pizza.
