Hey now folks! Jimbear is coming home...with family, dog, and VW in tow! The wife was offered a position at UGA and she accepted. I am hoping to find a job by the time next school year starts (high school English teacher) and we are looking for a house to rent in Oconee County starting in June or July. On that note, if anyone has a line on a 3 bedroom rental, or one crosses your path, please let me know. The closer to Watkinsville the proper the better, or down the Barnett Shoals corridor coming out of W-ville.
I am definitely looking forward to being back in the scene and in with the club again. I am gunning for more camping the season that ever before. The bus is close to running, I'm chasing a bug that is proving very elusive. I am hoping to have it worked out and take a shakedown cruise to VT before turning south and driving the bus down over my spring break in a month ahead of the actual move.
I hope everyone is well and I look forward to see you all soon! _________________ "A vision without a task is a dream - a task without a vision is drudgery- but a task with vision can change the world."

Hey Jimbear, looking forward to seeing you again. I saw your post on Collin's site. I think we can get a couple guys together for a group visit. _________________ 73 Typ481

I like the group visit idea. We should be all settled by August.
Any intel on rentals in Oconee County would be appreciated. _________________ "A vision without a task is a dream - a task without a vision is drudgery- but a task with vision can change the world."

We are back and living in North-East Watkinsville. We have a nice garage and driveway and I am looking forward to getting down to business with the bus.
I would be more than open to hosting a informal tech get together at my place some weekend if anyone is ever interested in tinkering, sharing brains, or providing an extra set of hands/eyes/ears. I have a thing for making BBQ chicken and drinking some beers, so we could all win. A group cruise around the area would be nice too.
FYI- I have an Itinerant Air Cooled visit with Colin scheduled for September 1 if anyone is interested in dropping by. Maybe he would be willing to do two days and we could split things up between a small group. A proper rear torsion adjustment is on the docket for that day if I am able to clear up other stuff before that at V-stock. Yes, I am willing to pay to get the messed up job I did at Volkstock several years ago done right.
It's nice to be back and I look forward to seeing ya'all... _________________ "A vision without a task is a dream - a task without a vision is drudgery- but a task with vision can change the world."

Welcome back to the land of rain and mosquitoes...I think it's a great idea to have Colin visit. I've heard great things about him from jon and others. I had toyed with the idea of paying for a day myself to help me tune the FI etc on my bus but never followed through. _________________ 1969 Beetle
