The weather turned cool and wet and was forecast to stay that way through Friday.  The cloud cover must have been thick as the light level was very subdued all day.  I do not, however, find such days to be dreary.  They are good days for hunkering down and working, and the bus is a good place to do that.

The coach is a more intimate place to work than most houses.  We live in close contact with the outdoors.  When it rains you see it and hear it. When the wind blows you see it, hear it, and feel it.  The bus has a lot of front and side window area and we are rarely more than four feet from one (the coach is only eight feet wide inside).  It also has four translucent skylights and three ceiling vent/fans with clear covers, so there is plenty of light even on overcast days.  There is also always a view; all we have to do is look.  A bonus is that the subdued, low contrast light is actually better for working at a computer, being easier on the eyes with less glare.

I have been working on a couple of “featured bus” articles for Bus Conversions Magazine and today seemed like a good day to start wrapping them up.  The article on the Iron Horse, Jimmy and Sadie Clay’s Model 10 Eagle conversion, the Iron, was nearest to completion so I worked on that one.  It took the whole day and evening but I tied up all the loose ends and uploaded everything to the Dropbox folder I use for the magazine and still got to bed at a reasonable hour (for me).
