Posted by lbt 9415 on Mon Dec 22 02:47:23 2008 12.12.08 - The day after I arrived from NYC ( this vacation wasnt long enough lol. I had fun out there. It was nice to meet the new faces as well ). I took an extra day off because the jet lag really took a toll on me, and I wasnt feeling well on the plane at all.12.13.08 - I managed to do a change of assignment and scored a PM piece on the 54 route. The 54 is pretty kickback route. The bus was # 5358. For sure I thought this would be the last D40LF i would drive...later I would prove myself wrong.  12.14.08 - This is the first day of our Winter Pick Todays bus was LNG NABI 2214. The check engine light stayed on until the engine shut down. I was able to restart the bus & continue enroute until another coach was brought to me ... which in turn happened to be LNG NABI 2229 ( BOTH REPOWERED ).   12.15.08 - Off Day. Had a doctors appointment with a general surgeon. I will be having surgery the 2nd week of January...so I will be taking about 4-5 weeks off work. 12.16.08 - Off day. Today was my moms birthday. So I took here to this really good Mexican Restaurant in West L.A. 12.17.08 - My monday. Todays bus on my first half was LNG NABI 2153. Nothing special about it. On my split, I decided to go hunting for that CNG Crown school bus. The only thing I found was this CNG Blue Bird operated by Garden Grove Unified School District.  The bus for the 2nd half is C40LFR # 7523. Rain, shine, sleet, snow, it still gets pre-tripped. Leave the yard about 5 minutes early and made the 34 mile deadhead to Dana Point. I start as a 91 school tripper...then 1 Roundtrip on the 91..and a one-way 83 northbound to Disneyland    C40LFR # 7579  12.18.08 - 7515 was my bus for the 2nd half of the day on thursday. I picked up more school kids than I did the day before. This run desperately needs an artic bus.  see ....  12.19.08 - Same school kids, different C40LFR. Oh yeah that VanHool T2045 also had the Jake Brake on ... hot hot hot !!!!   12.20.08 - Saturdays bus was D40LF # 5353. This bus was supposed to be withdrawn from the fleet, as it had the farebox and radio ripped about 2 weeks ago. They reinstalled the farebox + radio ... I guess they need it back it service for a lil longer. Yuck the line I hate the most, the 29. Seen here at Buena Park Metrolink Sta.  This is the only 5300 that has a fire suppression system.  |
