After a few years in storage the scoots are back home. They need a lot of love. A lot of love. But it feels good to greet them in their newest digs. They're going to have to fight the herd of bikes and the bug for their full time space in the garage. But it's all good. Thx for the temporary quarters @garymunk. #vespa #lambretta #vbb #syncro #vanlife

Instead of showing you the insanely decadent burrito I had for lunch today....here's some very descriptive hashtags that represent their grub. So good. #phxburritohouse (at Phoenix Burrito House)

I'd say our new buddy #catstevens is adjusting well. #itsacatslife #catsofinstagram #catagram (at Woodlea Historic District, Phoenix)

I'm trying work from home today to focus on some important stuff, but I keep getting distracted by the looker outside. #vanlife #vanagon (at Woodlea Historic District, Phoenix)

#Eldroe is starting to look a little empty under the hood. Tank, electrical instruments and switches pulled today. He's officially inoperable for now. Also ripped out the remnants of the aftermarket AC system. (at Woodlea Historic District, Phoenix)

Tons of fun on the #melrosecurve today. #vanlife #azbusclub #woodleamelrose (at Melrose on 7th Avenue)

A little rust around the birth certificate. #67bug #vwbeetle (at Woodlea Historic District, Phoenix)

Today we gutted #eldroe as the first step to getting the 50 year old #vwbug back on the road. This is a family project with Viv as my sidekick / little helper. While we were dragging the seats out she asked when we could start the "fun stuff", like cleaning the windows. I think she was a little overwhelmed when explained that we'd be doing that last - like in 6 months. Despite that news she was a great helper. Glad to have her on my team. #67beetle #vwbeetle #bugrestoration (at Woodlea Historic District, Phoenix)
