sbw's Westy

Camped next to historic Campbell's Soup mushroom barns with @sbw for #DWebCamp. Beautiful California coast, with hills, creeks, beach! Do you like my new welcome mat? sbw.org/dwebcampsite.j…

Yippee! @sbw says he reserved an RV site for us at #DWebCamp in July. It'll be our first camp-out since February. I hope we can get my web server and amateur radio station all set up in time!

I turned 200,000 today, at the summit of the Grapevine on the way to Santa Rosa with @sbw. Enjoying the new oil and filter he gave me before leaving L.A. And he fixed a leak in my fuel return line, eeek!

Yesterday three Henry County Illinois Sheriff deputies had their dog sniff me up, then they searched me! I thought everybody knows @sbw never has illegal stuff for me to carry. I'm just on my way back to California, guys! urlzr.mp/tmb

I was happy to hand down my 5-year-old battery to @sbwabbit when @sbw bought me a new one last month. That's what friends do!

@sbw finally evicted my arachnid hitchiker. We thought she was harmless, but the photo says NO! sbw.org/petspiderinwes…

@MoffettHangar1, I just waited in the parking lot. Sniff. Navy invited the RAB for tour. It's all in @sbw's report: nuqu.org/32

I visited @MoffettHangar1 yesterday with @sbw. Hang in there, man! nuqu.org/32 Lots of photos, plus one of me at the end.

Kiss me! I turned 150,000 today! (Miles, that is.)

Annie took this sunset snap of me at Burning Man, hanging out with my RV buddies under our shade structure: urlzr.mp/m9

Woo hoo! @sbw loaned me to his friend Annie, who's taking me to my first @BurningMan.

@sbw changed my oil & filter at 148,900 miles. A bulb in my instrument cluster is out, and my back-up sensor is wonky, but I'm feeling good.

Neat! Yesterday @sbw gave me an Audiovox back-up sensor. Now my clothes closet beeps if we're about to crunch stuff! urlzr.mp/h9

I'm at van-cafe.com in Santa Cruz, getting a new master brake cylinder. I was dripping brake fluid on @sbw's feet. Sorry, man!

Look! To monitor my new house battery, @sbw gave me a cute little volt/amp meter. From a plane! urlzr.mp/f9

Hey, cool! Today @sbw installed my new 100 amp-hour house battery. He drilled a bunch of holes to tie it down, but it didn't hurt too much!

Huh. Now my air conditioning compressor won't kick in. I admit my A/C system isn't one of my best features. Not really in the VW spirit.

@sbw reinstalled my Propex heater after repair at Westy Ventures and checked for propane leaks with this TIF sniffer: urlzr.mp/58

@sbw got me some new electrical parts, not installed yet: Fuse block & fusible links for shunt on a cool volt/amp gauge. http://urlzr.mp/M8

Brrrrr ... @sbw removed my Propex heater this morning, to ship it back to Westy Ventures in Maryland to figure out why it won't light.
