About Us:
Hi! We're Mike & Kerry, the proud owners of a 1992 Bluebird rear engine (pusher), 40' school bus! We named her Bussy McBusface in honor of the RRS Boaty McBoatface travesty!
We built a Tiny-Home-in-a-Bus for full-time living in the most adventure-friendly way possible. Bussy was never meant to be parked in a driveway, waiting for weekend trips or holiday getaways. After we finished the build, we packed everything we kept into the bus and drove away from our old house and into the world of off-grid living, aka boondocking, and endless travel adventures!
Since we planned to be boondocking the majority of the time, we made choices such as; a 100-gallon water tank, an Air Head composting toilet, a 1500w solar power system with 1000Ah in AGM batteries, etc. We'd love to have you stick around and follow us on our journey, from our Skoolie Build Series, to infinite buslife adventures beyond!
Mike & Kerry
I've also heard multiple stories of cops stopping people who are tourists in regular cars & said they need a California driver's license to drive there & then some said to live there. The people are always like "I don't live here. I'm a tourist" and the cops still don't care. I don't think I'll ever visit there. New York would also make me nervous. It's crazy!
Hey, wait a minute...I was a Marine at 29 stumps...even though it looks awful, it was, by far, the best duty station ever! I am still friends with some of my Marines from way back....it’s weird, a brutal environment but your friends make it the best ever! I got my own little Jeep to ride around in, got helicopter rides, desert survival school and totally awesome rifle ranges!!!!! Best memories ever!!!!
Ooooh the view at 24:38
Love the almond tree orchards 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
If PB blaster doesn't help with the sticky throttle, Seafoam might.
I found snow chains in a front compartment of the bus I bought that had sat in PNW for 15 years. They were pretty much a block of iron and I couldn't get a pry bar to move them. Dumped half a can of Seafoam on the top of them, the next day they pulled out like I was getting ready to put them on the bus for a winter mountain pass.
Amazed me!
That is very amazing, actually!
Next duty stations, San Diego, Camp Pendleton, Treasure Island and Oakland Army Base. I live in the Central Valley now, home of the almonds...
Another fun fact about almonds is that they are in the Rose family - the same family as roses, peaches, cherries, plums, pears, apricots, etc. So you were pretty close with saying cherry, as they are related...
Oh my goodness. Love the sailboat shot!
Next winter. The campsite is going to be over crowded. To meet up with you guys. Life in a Tiny Home. "Excellent"
From the Texas coast to the California coast... Man what a drive!!! Looks like some beautiful travels...
It was some long days but really you get into a rhythm when you're driving and with such a big windshield you really do see all the sites. It was definitely a beautiful trip.
Hey guys, I am a huge fan and live in Aptos down Winfield and moose head. When I saw your bus, I FREAKED out. Keep making your awesome content and have fun
That’s where I learned the Elmer’s glue trick to get cactus spurs off your skin!
Another cool video! Super-dupe drone footage. Safe travels! 🌻
I am so glad you are riding together!
Us too!♥️
Went to culinary school in San Francisco....yeah the beach thing, true, and it sucks!
Hey Mike, I use wet graphite from NAPA on a lot of things that I used to use WD40 on. It works much better for me and doesn’t collect grit and grime like the oil does. It really is a game changer.
Hi Mike, Hi Kerry, the sandwich maker was good and you have your egg like I do.. Good idea with the pipe extension Mike, it must be a pain in the backside keep cleaning the car, I think we have to get smelly vision because it would of been nice to smell the Almond blossum as well..Your trips get better every time, its so good to see all the lovely places you go and even the dump places lol.. Anyway its good to see you both looking so good and nice you riding together, stay well and safe both of you, I always look forward to seeing you and your video's, I love you both..K.
Thank you Kevin. It is very nice for us to be able to ride together. It also saves us money on gas! We love you too!
You missed the cool rock bluffs made famous by Catain Kirk when he fought the lizard creature in the original Star Trek.
Glad you made it safe 😎
I had almond trees in my backyard growing up so the minute you said cherry trees I yelled almond! Lol 😂
I friggin live here and can’t even get in there! Thank god we have friends there!
Great camping spot on the ocean. Long drive from Texas.
To help with your air throttle problem. Shorten your throttle return spring at the governor or add another return spring. The throttle lever at the fuel pump governor should have some resistance to moving. The air cylinder really has no resistance. That’s why you only have fuel throttle or just idle. If you have more return spring pressure you will have more control of your throttle.
For the black soot exhaust smoke on your car. That’s incomplete burning of the fuel due to lack of air. When was the last time you changed your air filter. The other thing to help with carboned up injector tips is to run 1/2 quart of automatic transmission fluid dextron 3 in every second fuel tank fill up. Will take a couple of tanks to see the difference. By adding automatic transmission fluid to your fuel it will also give lubricity to your fuel injection pump and injectors. The ultra low sulfur diesel fuel has no added lubricity to it. That’s one of the reasons why a lot of Diesel engines have fuel injector pump failures due to no lubrication in the fuel. That’s was one benefit from sulfur. The automatic trany fluid will help clean the injector tips.
I have been doing this since the 80’s
on my Diesel engines and when I work for Cummins.
Good luck and keep producing those great videos
Cheers
Wow ! I have Cummins diesel, never knew this, THANKS !
Definitely going to give this a try. It seems like an inexpensive pmcs for the engine.
@@BussyMcBusface Air cylinder right now is stronger than the injection pump control lever. Your throttle control spring is tired. Doesn’t have enough tension to pull back on the air cylinder rod. That’s why you have full throttle or idle. The return spring pulls back the throttle lever when you back out of the throttle pedal. You then should have full control from idle 650 rpm to your full idle 2100 or 2300 rpm. You might have to play with different springs to get more return tension on the throttle lever.
It’s very common for these return springs to wear out over time. You should also have a spare or two. It’s very common for them to break.
If you have any questions email me.
Good luck
EXACTLY ONE OF THE REASONS I GOT THE HELL UP OUTA' CALIFORNIA!
ON ANOTHER NOTE...TOP NOTCH DRONE FOOTAGE GUYS!
I love watching your adventures, I would do a Schoolie and live that lifestyle in a heart beat. My husband however isn’t excited about that much travel. He is my Anchor, I am his Sail. We have learned how to compliment each other. So, we travel as much as we can for his comfort level. How did I miss that Mike was from Santa Cruz! Bay View Elementary School, Mission Hill Jr. High, Santa Cruz High School, I lived on Seaside Street behind the McDonalds on Mission Street. When my husband was in the Navy we lived on the Corpus Christi Naval Air Station in the MOQ’s. I spent many hours out on Padre Island beach. My husband grew up in Wisconsin we’ve been here now for 40 years. Can’t wait for your next post. Mike do you remember when the transformer blew at the Moss Landing Power Station, it had to have been back in the 60’s. The whole Monterey Bay went dark. The stars were amazing that night! And Kerry, the day after this post I had to go buy one of those little Sandwich makers. Happy Trails to you both!
Well I have to tell you, I ( Mike ) was not born until 1971 so I'm afraid that I did not catch the transformer blowing at Moss landing! I did however go to mission Hill Junior high School and then went to soquel high School.♥️
The BNSF Orange/Green colors came from the Great Northern RR, and the Warbonnet Scheme comes from the Santa Fe RR.
If you want to Mike, use a long skateboard while working under the bus. You won't get your shirt dirty, plus you can roll around to get stuff done.
That would work wonderful on Pavement but unfortunately it was all dirt and small rocks.
Hey...it’s me again...it’s so much easier for me to make comments along the way than to try and remember everything at the end...and maybe, just maybe it helps you out with all the comments? Don’t know, but I’m giving you my best!!!
One of my favorite beaches, too bad it's in Catastrafornia. I used to live in Seacliff back in the 80's.
After a while of taking a break from YT, I've finally bin watched all the videos I hadn't seen yet. You two are amazing!! I really did try not to comment on all of them ... 🙃
Maybe you could install a transmission cooler hot now is 2x as bad in the summer...we went thru Washington once when they were harvesting mint and once when they were harvesting garlic I love the smell of both...the governor of California tells you everything you need to know
Well Kids, we hate to see you leave Texas. and hope you had a great time. I agree with you about Calif, and I used to love to go there for business ot vacations. I sure hope things improve there. Thanks for the video, we resally enjoyed it.
smokestack lightening!
Buy a small pressure washer you can store on the bus will make it far easier to clean just using water. This item should only be used at campgrounds or any overnight parking location where you have access to water.
Food for thought
Mike, here’s what I think you should do. Attach a couple mounts for ham sticks or another antenna type on the bus and as you’re driving through the park, do some POTA 😂👍🏻
I have actually thought about that. But I do enjoy doing portable activations. I thought I would be activating Joshua tree but we didn't stop long enough to do it due to the fact there was no place to park.
@@BussyMcBusface yeah sounds like a problem haha. I was just happy to get N6LY and KB9VBR in the log today.
Great video guy's thanks for the ride it was fun and the drone shots were awesome felt like I was there with you.
So excited my shells arrived and they were all intact and beautiful! Thank you so much. It's 11 here this morning but at least I feel a little beachy. 🤣😉💞💞⛱
How long does it take Mama Kitty to come out when you stop? Does she keep hoping that you're staying put for a while? 🤔🐈
That bfast sandwich maker looked amazing. What a cool idea.
The almond trees were beautiful. ❤
I planted a mock orange tree in front of our house to get the fabulous blossom smell in the summer. They don't fruit cause we live in the tundra but the smell takes me back to when we lived in FL. 🌴
The otters were adorable. We did an otter encounter for my 55th bday last week and they swam a bunch and then rubbed all over us to dry themselves. 🦦🤣❤
Favorite quote from this week 'The absurdity of this could not be measured'. 😕
Have a fabulous time on your new adventures! ❤❤
-Troy & Aimee
Kerry would love to do an otter encounter!
Our state is CRAZY, it pisses me off to no end!
I was today years old when I learned how to make a sandwich the right way 🤣🤣🤣 I'm buying one of those for sure
Welcome to California. I have family there. They’re all nuts.
That is a heck of a long drive. Bus is clicking right along. :) Sad you had to leave wonderful Texas and end up getting treated like that in California by that kind of attitude. We went to CA and got similar treatment most places.
I can't believe how many cars were at the cactus spot. when I was there Nov 2018 there was me and one other car!
I was in Joshua Tree in January and saw lots of them. But I was in a car and drove in from Palm Springs. I also have driven 89 in AZ through the trees and there are a lot of them. I don't remember any big ridge parking in the park.
Your second stop looked like van horn , Texas
It most certainly was.
Hey guys! Mike, you have something drastically wrong going on in that motor. You should not have any soot on your Jeep. Take it from a truck driver, I haven't seen soot like that since the 90s when I started. Your burning oil or for some reason burning diesel very poorly. Do some googling and see what you can fix on your own since i know you like working on your rig. I've also mentioned Hot Shot Secret products before. They can help you get your rig running more efficiently. It's not snake oil products and no I don't work for them. Love the videos, living vicariously through you while I have 15 more years of work ahead of me before i can live in a skoolie.
Welcome to California. Where absurdity is expected from all of our officials and all of the bureaucrats.
You would make a great bus mechanic on the go Mike.
Thank you!
Well that is why they call it the state with nuts and fruits 😳 🤔,,,, it's not a friendly state to begin with either, at least for truck parking and free parking for you guys either,,, just make the best of it while you are there an look forward to your next state that ur gonna visit. Keep the videos 📹 coming I enjoy watching 👀 them!! ❤👈👫
Thank you Arthur!
Cherries belong to the Rosaceae family, along with other stone fruit crops such as almond, apricot, peach and plum (California Cherry Board). I am sure one of those trees has my name on it! lol Oh the insanity of these times! and hopefully that beach view soothed the savage beasts!
Oh man you guys are beach bums. Love it. My kinda folks
It takes a gallon of water per SINGLE harvested almond, these are really bad for California’s depleted water supply
😁👍🏻❤️. btw I agree…. You two should be traveling together in the bus, soooooo much better 🥰👍🏻
It really is!
I’m gonna stop right here and guess you’re going to Southern California then up the coast to Canada?
If y’all make it into Carmel, stop by awshucks oyster bar. I won a oyster eating contest there, 210 oysters, it was the record . Not sure if it still is
Wow!
If I kept my bus I would take my pipes that come out the side on the driver side and put him straight up like stacks like that blue bus Parrish I think it's called they look good they sound good but on my bus when I was driving it when I bought it I kept getting the exhaust fumes into the window that's right there so I definitely would have to change that. But you're back on the water again that's good stay safe stay strong stay healthy God bless and enjoy life ✌✌💖💪🎅🚌🌻👍
Thank you Chef. I would have liked to do some kind of stack arrangement but it would have been a lot of Fab on the road.
Hey hope you like your Banjo Joe coozies! And the Whistle Pigs is my band and I wrote the songs on that album. We are laughing right now because we didn't put a letter in there explaining things. 😆 We just wanted to share something with you guys because we love what you are sharing with us and we appreciate it. We just started a bus conversion and videos are up if you want to check out our channel.
Can we use one of your songs on a video?
Please don’t hold these state officials against us. Most of us are sane a reasonable. Hope you all have a great time in our beautiful state 😬
Where did you get that cooker, you used for the egg and muffun sandwich you made? that was awesome
It is made by Hamilton Beach but we found it at a thrift store for $4
If you would have went north on 395 you would have seen more
Love the video look like you guys are enjoying your new home where did you get the sandwich maker from I have to get one🥪🥪🥪🥪
You can find them on Amazon for around $40 or keep your eye open at a thrift store. We found ours for $4.
@@BussyMcBusface thank you
Just got that same down pipe in the mail today. I’m carrying a motorcycle.
Maybe you should have the injectors checked or the injector pump timing checked to get rid of the black soot.
Yes, we need to do something to sort this out.
That's what happens when you go from living in the real world and then drive across the Colorado river.
Just curious, what's the brand of that sandwich cooker, someday I want one...every time i watch i get more & more homesick for my future possible skoolie...(I'm strange, sorry)
It is a Hamilton Beach and you can find them on Amazon for about $40 . They also make a double version. We found ours in a thrift store for $4 and after buying it I continually see them in thrift stores.
Hey Enjoyed the video. Have you considered buying a cover for your car while towing it so that stuff don't end up on the hood?? Just wondering....Great Video
👍
hmm wondering if Almond tree blossoms and bottle brushes will be painted onto the bus?
Nice thought but very unlikely! 😁
I wonder if you couldn't try like a saran wrap on vehicle. Not sure if they make a product like that is cheap enough to discard and place new when you want to tow?
Gostei, muito bom! Parabéns
Can you find or make a cover for the front of the Jeep for when you do need to tow it.
With the cost of fuel going thru the roof just weigh out how much more the bus burns while towing verses what the car burns on a trip along with the cost of the bus. I don’t think I explained that very well. 😕
We have actually noted a cost savings by towing the car instead of driving it.
Wow 🚗🚗🚗 Now I see why you don’t like to Tow the car 💦💦💦💦💦🧽🧽🧽🧽 The car is saying wash me wash me
Just saw you getting gas in Gardnerville, NV.
You guys could reroute your exhaust tail pipe. Turn it out to the side or put a turndown on it. It would keep it from doing that to the poor jeep.
Too bad you didn't watch the whole video😁
@@BussyMcBusface I did. I just meant re routing it from under the bus that way it was lower than the jeep. But glad you got it figured out. Please keep making the videos! Love you guys videos!
Might be better to mount a stack type exhaust and blow the gasses up over the roof of the bus even woth the sucktion created behind the bus most of the soot will blow over the car , only downsite is that you whont be able to see the smoke in youre rearview mirror (might be handy to predict problems)
.actually thought about doing something like that but the fabrication was just too much. I would have to run it up the side of the bus Which would get in the way of some of the screens that I need to open to change filters or service the external radiator.
@@BussyMcBusface hmmm yah that could be bothersome , maibe you could make the stack in two parts that slide intoo eachoeter with the parting above those screens , that way you can leave the top part of the stack mointed and still have acxess to those screens , i dont think blowing the smoke down will do mush as theres a lot of buffeting behind the bus where the air that goes around surtanly dont have a busbody in the way
Another option might be to move the exhaust so it dumps out near the front wheel , but that prolly only blackens the whole side of the bus
welcome to f....up ca
You stop at Phil's fish market?
Not this time.
If you had stayed 1 more week, we would be there.🙁🙁
Sorry we missed you.
Are you using your ear buds for the audio
No, if we are doing a long haul Mike will listen to an audiobook.
Have you purchased your DMR Hotspot yet?
Yes. Have been using it pretty often on the K5NX talk group on TGIF
Come visit me in Amarillo 🥰
TX to Lake Tahoe.
So close!
I’ve never liked Joshua Tree NP either, over rated because of location
Was it a lil hard standing while fixing breakfast while driving
It's easy to get used to and kind of fun. We communicate while we are driving so if Mike is going to break hard or something he tells me before he does.
Where are these almond trees?
Wasco, CA
You voluntarily went to California? I didn't know anyone did that.
The next video will clear things up for you
@@BussyMcBusface Oh, I was just making fun of California, it's a beautiful place to "Visit".
Seems to have some noises while driving..Hearing some rattling going on..
Yes. There are 10,000 rattles.
😎😁👍🏻👏
I have no sound.are you okay
If you refresh the video it will probably play with sound. It looks like you may have started the video within the first few seconds that it posted!
Yay thank you, i refreshed, i got myself in a right pickle ,silly me . Pew.x.
Why would anyone leave Texas on purpose?
We are asking yourself the same question..
The absurdity is why I do not go to Commifornia.
Its over the bus,,,West Costa looks down on skoolys,,, some parks won't let you in.
" Jes-Se- Out-&-Into- The- Real "
" Jes-Se- R- U- I- Z 👁"
"Jesse Ruiz "
You been to Illinois?
Not yet.
I refuse to spend a dime in Cali……I just won’t go there.
And this is why I have no want or need to visit California again…..
The idiocy of your parking problem near Monterey just one more reason why I'm boycotting all three of the Pacific States.. it has gotten so unreasonable to want even travel there let alone the gas prices
Your going the wrong way all the good states in the winter are in the southeast good to see family though. What happened to that rear corner and bumper just a little crunch. BOO TO California. Well look who reps the state they have Pelosi-Finstien-Waters-Shiff-Swalwell-Newsome I mean need I say more.
City dump🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
California Karen. Hope u don’t have to buy fuel. The smoke and oil slobber on your jeep is certainly fixable. Maybe all the smoke is also why you’re running hot.
WTF! No wonder the BLM lands are being closed!!! I am burning mad right now seeing that damn irresponsible mess! Who could pull away from a site and leave all that?!?!? How utterly disgusting.
That wasn't BLM land. That was just a dirt lot behind a gas station.
Ca with all its faults is the best state in the union by miles, mountains out of mole hills is what you’re crying about
Our country has lots of beautiful and great states without all the BS. Thank you politicians for ruining my home state.
@@johnr8439 leave if you don’t like it, I’ve lived here for 40 years and it is still the best, move to Texas with the Feral hogs and tRumptards, we won’t miss you
@@bonzology322 Wow, that got ugly fast. The state and national parks in CA are great, aside from the human created issues.
