Took 3426 on her first road trip of sorts today, going 40 miles from Frederick to Elkridge to get her air conditioning repaired. It is quite clear that she was used to the Lowcountry, though she got over the hills well enough. #carta3426 #buses #cartabus #elkridge #airconditioning #thermoking

Said hello to 3426 at Johnson & Towers today up near Baltimore in order to drop a few items off at the bus. While it's sad that she's not going to New Jersey for this year's bus show, there's always next year. #carta3426 #cartabus #newflyerd35hf #johnsonandtowers

Flew my drone over the shop where my 3426 is currently awaiting a bunch of minor repairs and discovered a few new things about her. First of all, confirmed: I have roof numbers!

Today marks one year since former CARTA bus 3426, nicknamed "Biscuit", arrived in Maryland. Happy arrival day, Biscuit. Here's to many more happy years together in the Old Line State. #cartabus #newflyerd35hf #happyanniversary

Today's activity: two shops at the same time. The bus is getting new tires, and the car is getting its usual service. #newflyer #hondahrv #cartabus

Elyse and I visited our bus up in Frederick today, which is awaiting a part for a repair. Here is 3426's power plant, a Detroit Diesel Series 50. #cartabus #3426 #newflyer #newflyerd35hf #detroitdiesel
