In Arkansas, Edna’s floor got refinished, I un-mounted both WVO tanks for cleaning, and ended up having to replace the seals for the access panels (with Viton), I replaced the front brake lines, re-plumbed the fresh water outlet (in order to have the water draw from the curb side of the tank), and started making a new capacitance humidity probe for testing WVO for water content. Refinishing the floor and re-plumbing the fresh water outlet. Geeky Stuff (scroll past italics, if needed): One of the simplest and best pleasures of being in Hot Springs, AR are all the wonderful city-maintained free springs. We also got to serve some tea at the Gallery Walk downtown Hot Springs a couple times, as well as at a café called Red Light Roastery, alongside live music. This time allowed me to dig a little deeper in The Tea Bus Factory Service Manual (I’m about 3/4 th of the way done writing), and Ally to work on finishing her novel. Gil said, “Rent is pages written.” It means a lot to both Ally and I to have someone like Gil to support our creative endeavors. In exchange we shared food, stories, and did some work around the property. We had our own little cabin and place to be. It was so so so nice to be hosted by Gil once again on his amazing property surrounded by Hot Springs National Park. Wow, it’s been quite a while, my friends! After a few months on the West Coast without Edna Lu the teabus, Ally and I got back on a train to Arkansas, where we hunkered in for more writing and bus projects.
