With nine state championship appearances and six titles for the Bishop Luers girls basketball team over the last 14 years, it has become habit to pencil them in season after season as a favorite to win Class 2A.
This year has been the exception. The Knights enter the final week of the regular season with an 8-10 record, already the most losses in over 15 years for the program.
Bishop Luers Coach Denny Renier said in the preseason that his team would be young and inexperienced, with over 70 percent of the scoring and rebounding from a year ago having either graduated or been injured (junior Addie Reimbold). They have shown promise, but a second season looms that is full of opportunity.
The Knights learned who they would open with in sectional play Sunday when the 38th Annual IHSAA Girls' Basketball State Tournament draw was held. Bishop Luers will take on Adams Central (7-12) in the first round of the Bluffton Sectional on Feb. 5.
"It has been really up and down," said Renier about this season. "Maybe more downs (than) ups, but then again, you have to take into consideration which players we lost."
One of the latest losses has been Reimbold, who injured her foot and was on crutches until recently. The forward goes back to the doctor this week and could be cleared to play, but has not ran or shot a ball for several weeks.
"My wish would be that she can come back for sectionals or regional week if we get there," Renier said.
While the Knights do not have the type of record the program is accustomed to, odds are they will notch their sixth consecutive sectional championship. None of the six teams in the sectional have a record above .500, with just a pair of seven-win teams in Adams Central and South Adams representing the main competition. However, the schedules of those two teams are in marked contrast to Bishop Luers, which has played just one Class 2A team, perennial power Heritage Christian.
The Flying Jets and Starfires have combined to play 19 programs from Classes A and 2A.
"Our schedule has been such where we knew we would struggle this year with wins and losses," Renier said. "But what I have always said is that due to who we play, there is nothing we will see in the tournament that we have not seen in the regular season.
"We have seen teams like Concordia that slow it down and play man-to-man, to teams that press. Anything you want to talk about, we have faced it."
Despite the positive attitude, Renier knows his team is looked at differently despite being the two-time defending state champions.
"I don't think many people expect much of us," Renier said. "Maybe that takes some pressure off of us. This is a different feel (than the last two years), but we are still excited about the tournament.
"If we play well, we will have a good run."

Happy with My Fireplace

About Me Fits House Style, Practical
I'm using the fireplace for its good looks and to have a fireplace where there wasn't one. It's easy to install because no gas line had to be attached to the unit as would be necessary with a gas fireplace. I can move the fireplace anywhere in the living room without help. It looks like a fixture but isn't. I'm really happy with my purchase.

What I have always suspected:
Inexperienced computer users will call upon a computer repair service such as Geek squad when their computer is malfunctioning. I have always suspected that there must be lots of fraud in that field, since either the 'experts' don't know wtf they are doing,- or they just want to make an extra buck. I've heard stories of people that have worked in the field,... One guy I know said he was called in for a computer repair job, where appearantly the client had forgotten to plug in the power cable. He said he plugged in the cable, then waited 2 hours, when the client came back, he charged $200 for repair. ($100 / hour).
Just today I stumbled upon a news broadcast on youtube in which they use a hidden camera to expose fraud in Geek squad, Best Buy, and some other places.
If you're not too knowledgeable in hardware, WATCH OUT!! Try to find a geek friend first.

Our thanks to WW Norton for sending us a review copy of this book:
Emily's GhostTo a stranger - to a non-Brontëite, that is - the amount of Brontë-related biofiction we are seeing of late and which we will continue to see in the coming months might seem repetitive, impossible and altogether redundant. To a Brontëite, particularly if he or she already knows from reading different biographies, it seems diverse, varied and a new opportunity to immerse himself or herself in the always intriguing and addictive world of the Brontës. Thus, a treat.
By Denise Giardina
First published 27 July, 2009.
Hardback by W.W.Norton, 384pp
Denise Giardina's contribution to this ever-growing category focuses on Emily. Thus from the very beginning it is a daunting task: Emily Brontë, not for nothing known as the sphinx of English literature(1) (a name this half of BrontëBlog is particularly fond of, as no doubt old regular readers will have noticed), keeps herself to herself, even in the most research-focused of biographies. To try and depict her 'fictitiously' is then quite an undertaking but also perhaps for that very reason an interesting way to try and draw her out, to understand her and, much to her chagrin we suppose, to examine her. We have quoted Karen Joy Fowler before saying in her Jane Austen Book Club that, 'each of us has a private Jane'. This, in the case of Emily Brontë, goes tremendously deep. The scant facts about Emily Brontë ensure that each of us can easily mold our very own Emily and often refuse to budge from the image we have - let's admit it - created ourselves. Witness to that are of course the many, often far-fetched, often preposterous, theories that have grown around her: she was anorexic, she was a lesbian, she was asexual, she had a male lover (among which you can take your pick(3)), she didn't write Wuthering Heights, she willed her own death, she was a mystic of the moors, she had visions, she was in love with Shelley the poet, etc., etc.
Emily's Ghost does not try to fully cover and retell every known step Emily took, as the book actually often skips the best-known bits of Emily Brontë's history. Only skip wouldn't be the right word, though. Both Denise Giardina and the Brontë connoisseur know they have happened and are subtly - very subtly - enmeshed in the story. But the newcomer won't feel a thing, the story will go on normally and nothing will be noticeably missing. Emily's Ghost begins towards the end of Emily's life, swiftly going back to the very beginning, with Emily placed in Cowan Bridge, already on her way to becoming the Emily we know. But that is soon left behind as well, to move on to the very core of the novel: the arrival of the charming - is there any Brontëite who doesn't have a soft spot for him? - William Weightman to Haworth in general and to the parsonage in particular.
Anne's infatuation with the curate has long been accepted nearly as fact; Charlotte's has been guessed at. But what about Emily? As usual, we know little, though what little we know is quite telling, such as for instance that William Weightman nicknamed her 'The Major', pointing to a surprising degree of familiarity. What she made of him we don't actually know, and that's where Denise Giardina steps in. She creates plausible common interests and places them in also plausible situations in order to build her story: her unusual love story between the pair(3), unusual, of course, because this is Emily Brontë we are talking about. All is done so progressively and tactfully - though the reader will see it coming - that although we are not great enthusiasts of 'the quest after Emily's secret lover' we can't find much to complain here. Also, it seems to us, this is done in the open, meaning that we hardly think that Denise Giardina is trying to impose a new theory, but rather to explore through this fiction Emily's character and a very particular point in history: the Chartist movement in the north of England, as one of the aforementioned shared interests is the amelioration of the conditions the poor live and work in.
This Emily is pleasantly near to the image of Emily we have formed after reading a good many biographies on her, which helped us like the fiction for fiction's sake while wholly appreciating the plausibility of Denise Giardina's recreation or reimagining of Emily Brontë. She is compassionate, but also shy and fierce; she cares enormously for the few peoples she loves, but she also disdains those she doesn't; she loves animals, she loves the moors, she loves her imaginary world, she bakes bread, she is rebellious, she scorns social conventions - and is often heedless of them - and she is intriguing. In keeping with 'The Major' nickname and with what Monsieur Heger said about her(4), she is also not exactly manly or a tomboy but a very strong woman of very firm convictions, which at the time was not what was expected of a woman. Still, Denise Giardina's Emily has surprised us by, for instance, having a fit of uncontrollable laughter, not exactly what we expected, but so nicely done that it is fully believable within its context.
William Weightman is also a shadowy figure in Brontë biographies, but Denise Giardina has confidently fleshed him out giving him a few known traits and adding up to them with her own personal interests. William Weightman is still a flirt, but he also - as can be guessed at through what we know of him - is compassionate and immersed in his work. He brings the questions of religion, conventions and the poor to the forefront of Emily's life and thus Denise Giardina manages to write what in the 19th century would no doubt have been deemed a 'social novel'. Through the Chartist movement and through William Weightman's parish work, we visit the slums of Haworth and relive the plight of their inhabitants. Religion - it can't be forgotten that Denise Giardina is an ordained deacon in the Episcopal Church - is also often being discussed though not heavily so.
Whether on purpose or accidentally and with the possible exception of Patrick Brontë, who is very aptly re-created, the rest of the 'cast' are however somewhat blurry and flat. Charlotte - though we have recently read Denise Giardina praising her(5)- is quite tiring and highly disagreeable as a character. She is often drooling over men, thinking of eligible gentlemen or falling in love with any gentleman that comes within a given radius. She is awfully prejudiced, tiring, whiny, mean, full of herself and altogether unsufferable(6). She is, in short, our biggest disappointment in this book.
Anne is shown in a much more favourable - thought quite dim - light. It is said of her that, 'in a different time and place she would have been the humble Christian maid who stepped calmly into a Roman arena filled with wild animals', which, to us, sounds like a wonderful, succinct description of Anne Brontë.
Ellen Nussey, one of the key outsider figures, is completely left out of the book, her name not once mentioned, always included in the anonymous group of 'school friends', unlike Mary Taylor who is strangely placed at Cowan Bridge for a brief moment and then briefly commented on as belonging to a radical family.
Indeed, Emily's Ghost has a few instances where hard facts are softened and certain details slightly modified. Whether this is to suit Denise Giardina's schedule, because they hardly make a difference one way or another, or because they have been overlooked, we do not know. They will be a tiny stone in the Brontë aficionado's shoe from time to time, though not affecting the actual story in any way, and the will work perfectly well for the casual reader. Still, however, we recently heard(7) Denise Giardina saying that she had loved the Brontës even since before she could read and that she had read a good many biographies on them, not to mention the fact that two of her novels, particularly The Unquiet Earth, have been influenced by Wuthering Heights. This lifelong interest in the Brontës is felt throughout the novel, both in the evident enthusiasm behind it and in the way she both has things interiorised and assumed, which gives the novel aplomb, truthfulness, sympathy and, above all, coherence.
In short, we have found Emily's Ghost to be not only readable, but fully enjoyable and written in a clear style that will work for casual readers as well as for old 'acquaintances' of the Brontës. More importantly, and focusing on what we know best, it seems to us that she kindly asks Brontëites to question things, to mull over things and to look at the mysterious Emily Brontë from a whole new point of view. And who can resist that?
(1) Angus McCay, The Brontës: Fact and Fiction, 1897
The author of Wuthering Heights still remains, what she has ever been, the sphynx of literature.(2) Although Emily, in her afterlife, has had a string of lovers already: the hilarious Louis Parensell (Virginia Moore's misreading of Love's Farewell in The Life and Eager Death of Emily Brontë), Robert Clayton (Sarah Fermi's weaver's son in Emily's Journal), an invented farmhand (minutely described by Jacques Débû-Bridel in Le Secret d'Emily Brontë) one of the wealthy Heaton boys (Lyndall Gordon's candidate in her biography of Charlotte Brontë), Arthur Bell Nicholls (James Tully's very own crime), a non-practising lesbian (according to Stevie Davies 'intuition' in Emily Brontë: Heretic), her own brother Branwell (in Cheryldee Huddleston's 2006 theatre piece Children of an Idol Moon), her own father, who caused her to give birth to his child (Isobel English's suggestion in her play Meeting Point), one Harry Deville (in Emily Heaton's White Windows), etc.
(3) This is not exactly a new suggestion, as Isabel C. Clarke in her Haworth Parsonage (1927), despite crediting Emily with being a virgin mystic of the moors, also decided that she must have had firsthand experience or erotic love, thus pointing the only man 'she was ever known to tolerate', William Weightman. Then the novelist Elizabeth Goudge seems to have warmed to this idea and decided to include it in her 1939 play The Brontës of Haworth as well.
(4) As quoted in Elizabeth Gaskell's The Life of Charlotte Brontë:
"She should have been a man - a great navigator," said M. Héger in speaking of her. "Her powerful reason would have deduced new spheres of discovery from the knowledge of the old; and her strong, imperious will would never have been daunted by opposition or difficulty; never have given, way but with life.(5) The Charleston Gazette, July 25, 2009.
(6) That is not to say that Charlotte absolutely wasn't any of those things. She probably was all of them but like all of us she also had her good points which in the book are either made to look bad as well or simply left out.

It is kind of an inconvenience to have all this snow, but I'm sure local lakes and ponds will be happy to see the added water.
It's going to take a lot of snow and rain to make up for all the drought conditions we have been experiencing over the past few months.
The good thing about snow this time of year is it won't stick around too long.
I guess I should have expected some this week since the girls state basketball tournament is going on up in Des Moines. The girl's tournament has a long-standing tradition of attracting snow to the state during the event.
The teams I feel sorry for are the state-qualified bowlers who have to wait two weeks to have their tournament. There should be a better backup plan for the bowlers than what is going on right now. Creston and several other area teams are having to practice for two weeks while waiting for the rescheduled finals. Not the best deal for all the kids and coaches.
I had a chance to escape some of the snow last week with a quick trip to Las Vegas to attend a newspaper national board meeting.
Because of the snowstorm rerouting people, the planes were all loaded to the brim.
The main drag in Las Vegas (Las Vegas Blvd.) was closed down because of a run-and-gun shooting on the strip. The shooting made national news. The street was closed down for 15 hours in both directions, which made for an even bigger traffic jam than what usually goes on.
It looks like Las Vegas has made a pretty good comeback with the town jammed with people. The amount of police out after the shooting was tremendous. You couldn't walk 100 yards without seeing some kind of security.
The number of panhandlers out on the street is getting pretty outrageous. There were lots of folks dressed up as your favorite actor or cartoon character wanting you to take a picture for $5. And, there were all kinds of musicians and magicians all vying for your extra dollars on the strip. There is getting to be almost as much talent in the streets as there is in the casinos.
It seems like football just ended, but spring football starts for some colleges next week. I know my team, the Nebraska Cornhuskers, starts its spring practice Saturday and have their annual spring game April 6. A majority of teams start the following weekend.
I keep hearing of a number of local folks who are going down to see spring training in Arizona. I have several friends who go down to take in several team's preseason games. It's probably not a bad idea with the weather we're having.
It looks like we will be having a change in the line up at this years Concert in the Park. Miss Willy Brown has backed out because of some personal situations. Holly Williams, the daughter of Hank Williams Jr., is now looking to sign on as the replacement act.
She just appeared this past month on the Jay Leno show. She has been featured as one of the up-and-comers on CMT, the country TV station. She's out on the road singing solo right now, but will bring her band with her to Creston.
It should be a great day in the park.
Thought for the week: The meek shall inherit the earth, but not the mineral rights. — J. Paul Getty

"Best Blind"
By Remodeling bath from Augusta, GA
We recently had our master bath completely remodeled. Although it looks great, adding the Kellie Clements blind was the final, needed touch! It was remarkably easy to install and came with extremely understandable instructions and quality packaging. Will add two more, similar products in the near future.View this product

INTERVIEW: NuClic Founder David Kim Shares His Green Flooring Tips with Inhabitat
INHABITAT: Why did you decide to start Nuclic?
David: I've always considered myself a creative person and having studied at Pratt Institute (Brooklyn, NY), I have surrounded myself with creative thinkers and innovative products for quite some time. What I admired most about these innovators was how they would create a solution to a problem in a way we failed to see before. We developed NuClic because it was just that: an innovative solution to the growing need for sustainable flooring. NuClic is one of the first floating vinyl flooring products to use the patented Unlin system which requires no adhesives, is durable enough for commercial applications, comes in sophisticated styles & designs, is completely waterproof, and, of course, uses recycled content. My past experiences have left me with a strong desire to start my own business, and by developing one of the first floating vinyl flooring products, starting NuClic was the next natural step. NuClic is the successful realization of that initial vision to create a product that was innovative, practical, and sustainable. I could not be happier with the results.
INHABITAT: What are some tips you can give our readers about shopping for new eco-friendly flooring. What should they check for?
David: There are many great options now for eco-friendly flooring and it really depends on what the consumer is using the flooring for. For example, if you were thinking of renovating your basement floors and wanted an eco-friendly option, our NuClic products would be great because they use up to 40-50% recycled content, require no adhesives which means no harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and are 100% waterproof – all important qualities to look out for in a basement flooring product. A basement floor has certain needs which the consumer must take into account if they want a flooring solution that will last them a lifetime. These needs differ according to the specific space and so the options should be tailored to fit those needs.
However, let's say you were looking to renovate your living room, an open space where aesthetics take a little higher priority than say, maintenance. Then you could pick an array of products like cork, reclaimed wood, and bamboo flooring which are all gorgeous alternatives and each has their own drawbacks and benefits. When shopping for new eco-friendly flooring, make sure to look for "Green" certifications. Some "Green" certifications to look out for include: Floorscore, Greenguard, and FSC Certified. And in case you were wondering, NuClic is 100% "Floorscore" certified and can receive 2-3 points in LEED Certification projects.

Recycling always recycling all I can.
This Lamp is made of Cassette tapes, and I adapted an old Joystick as a switch.
A tribute for old tapes.
Soon are coming more things I am thinking to make with Tapes.
Tribute to cassette tape, which kept us
company all trough the 80ies and became a
symbol of a generation.
Homenaje a las cintas que nos han acompañado
en los 80s y constituyen el
símbolo de una generación.
Step 1: What you need for the Lamp
(I used 24 for this lamp)
- Fast cure glue. (Bond glue)
- an old Joystick
- a Light Bulb with adaptor
- an electric cable
- a retro switch (you can push a button)
Shame I couldn't describe all right how I made it. My English is so bad.
But the most important is showing the idea ;)
The bulb has no direct contact to the tapes.
This project was made by a renamed artist, I saw it on internet.
So I tried to make myself ;)
i have a rack full of pirated 90s hiphop albums back at my moms
now i know what to do with em
mas primeiro foi aqui , depois lá,
Thank you for this fantastic project!
On Sat. I'm going make other project with cassette tapes.
I'm sure , you will like.
tks for the compliment.

iRig MIX Mini DJ Mixer for iOS Devices
Start mixing up the beat with your iPhone/iPod touch/iPad.
The first mobile mixer for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad!
iRig MIX Mini DJ Mixer iOS Devices offers the same controls you would expect from a professional DJ mixer (crossfader, cues, EQ and volume controls, etc.) in an ultra-compact mobile mixer that can be used with a huge variety of iOS DJ mixing and other apps.
A DJ Mixer.
iRig MIX allows DJs to use a traditional setup with two devices (one plugged into each of the independent channels) or a single iOS device. For the single iOS device setup, the output of the single device is split into dual-mono and sent to the individual channels. Additionally, for the first time on any DJ mixer - iRig MIX can be used for mixing any type of audio source (coming from MP3 players, CD players, etc.) with an iOS device using automatic tempo matching and beat syncing. This is accomplished with X-Sync, a feature that works in combination with the DJ Rig free app running on iPhone 3G or later, iPod touch 3rd generation or later, iPad & iPad2 from IK Multimedia that is included with iRig MIX. (iPhone/iPod touch/iPad are not included)
Not just for DJs.
iRig MIX also provides the perfect mixing solution for solo musicians or small ensembles that use one or more iOS devices to play live. It features an extra guitar/microphone input that facilitates processing with popular apps like AmpliTube and VocaLive or any other apps that offer real-time audio effects and processing. Its standard RCA output connectors provide direct connection to PA systems or powered speakers.
Maximum Portability
The ultra-compact size and low profile of the iRig MIX Mini DJ Mixer iOS Devices allows it to be easily be carried in a regular iPad bag. Plus its low-voltage power supply (only 5VDC) lets it be powered not only by any regular mobile device charger, but also by suitable iOS battery pack or laptop USB port for maximum mobility to mix anywhere.
iRig MIX Mini DJ Mixer iOS Devices includes 4 free apps (downloads from the iTunes app store): DJ Rig, the new professional DJ mixing app from IK, AmpliTube, the most popular iOS guitar amp and effects app, VocaLive the processing app for vocalists, and GrooveMaker, the loop based beat and groove making app.
The iRig MIX Mini DJ Mixer iOS Devices features include:

Building a raised platform in the back of your van (or truck) will let you make the most of your storage space and also give you a comfortable place to sleep when you don't want to bother with setting up a tent or finding a motel.
Step 1: Measure (maybe even twice)
The first thing you need for a road trip is a good vehicle. We used Bertha, our 2000 Ford E-150 van - a somewhat reliable automobile.
We decided to keep one bench seat (so she could still carry up to 5 people) and remove the last row of seats to give us more room for the bed.
Measure the space you have available in the vehicle for the bed and make careful notes about any obstructions including the wheel wells, seat mounting brackets, etc.
If you already have storage bins, measure their height and width. You really don't want to build the raised bed and then find out your stuff won't fit under it!
where did you get that sketchup mock of the van?
I did a super fast install of a similar platform in an e150 but with a headboard for smalls storage and lifting side panels for access to the under area
I am rebuilding now and actually designing it this time - thus the interest in the files
cheers and thanks for sharing!
We found the van on the SketchUp Warehouse and modified it to match the real dimensions of our actual van.
You are, of course, welcome to use the SketchUp file included with this instructable. To see the full van, uncheck "Section cuts" under "View"
I am a lightweight hiking junkie and I love the idea of all my gear weighing next to nothing and everything must serve more than one function as well! I can see where this would work but, I wonder if using lighter materials would get the same results?
With gas prices climbing ever higher by the day, weight equals more money spent at the pump. That's my driving force behind my questions and I hope you don't take offense to me asking them.
Happy trails!
I really like the idea of adding a hinge and only screwing one side down to make it easier to get items stored below.
Needed PLENTY sturdy as the combined weight of the 6 of us was almost 500 pounds!
I had more top room, and three storage "bins" on the bottom, accessible through seperate doors from the back.
Yours looks MUCH nicer than mine. Nice!
NOW I am in Ca, and making a camping Van bed. Im thinking a water -bed bottom foundation and a top of foam is perfect The water bed will be self -leving 4" bed = 4" of leveling maybe 2" or 3" will be enuf. This will surely make sleeping a lot more comfortable .. ..,.... Do any of you see a problem with this? I will keep the bed on the Van floor, it seems to involved and heavy to make a platform under the bed, when it seems cabinets above the bed or shelves and or drawers will be fine .. I will only need a single bed for now and plan on using the outer frame rail as a bench or seat too . Did this seat before and it worked really well, but must be 8 or 10 inches and padded dto be comfortable.
Please write if you have any other sugestions or thoughts. The bed is 6 by 8'.
I bought a 2 year old, but never used Gulfstream, RV, 29ft, 76,000 $. SDtill had the plastic on the carpets. Problem was it out of guarantee of course and I had all the teething troubles (lots and lots).
I also found you can't go shopping or sightseeing in a 29 ft RV, so I bought a Ford Fiesta, 3,000 $. Guess it was the only one built with auto transmission, 1,000 $ for a lub pump so I could tow in, maybe 1,000 $ more for a TEE bar. I had to buy bedding, kitchen utensils, a spare tyre (can't get them when you are miles from anywhere) and of course club coverage for breakdowns etc. The Issuance full comp on the RV was 500 $ for 12 months, and 500 $ min cover on the Fiesta for 6 months,
OK, it got worse but enough for now.
Moral of story.
If you wanna travel in USA, Buy a van like the one in this article, fit it out for emergency use as described and when you enter a State go to the Welcome Station. Pick up the magazines that advertise all the motels and have all those handy dandy discount coupons and travel staying at motels. On the 3rd or 4th day do the washing and hang, and store all your stuff in the van.
When I finally called it a day on my trip, 5 moths and 15,000 miles later and sold the RV I had spent about 60,000 $ on the trip, and it was a nightmare.
We bought our van for $2000 and while we did spend a couple thousand fixing her up along the way, she made our month-long, 11911 km journey affordable.
Pretty cool resurrection. Brings back some memories... well, whats left of 'em after the 70's, anyway!
Hmmm, maybe the back section could be hinged to fold down so you have the back for a tailgating bench seat.
looking at ythe pictures, I don't think you need the bottom piece of plywood. platform should be plenty stable without it. you may want to add some diagonal braces on the side frames to stabalize the platform front to back.
I'm not sure how the top platform is attached to the frames. it looks like you can attach it with some door hinges. that way when you take it out the frame will fold in to the middle so it won't take up much garage space and set up will be simpler.
I think if you remove the bottom plywood you can convert it into a slide out platform to simplify cargo loading. from a quick search I found this. I think you should be able to adapt this to your configuration.
For extra safety, I also bolted the frame to the old seats screws.
I use a 3" memory foam mattress topper which is very thin and still comfortable to sleep on.
I remember back when I was growing up we had a large brown Dodge Van back in the 70s up to the early 90s. I remember my father did something like this and he built a bed in the back of the van it was a permanent installation though. I remember he made it so the top of the bed lifted with on both the front and back for easy storage. And he added a spot for a portable toilet where we'd have to lift the front part up to access the toilet. It didn't get used much on the road, but came in handy when spending the night somewhere. Since it was a permanent installation he built a hanging shelf that held a TV and VCR for me and my brother to watch movies while he drove. I don't know if we have any pics of the inside of that old van, but Thank you you brought back many memories of that bed he built in the van.
