The place where the police came to arrest drugs dealers and the fire fighters to look for a burned steak.
Yesterday Ron Lucero of Kearny Mesa Mitsubishi Truck Dealer in San Diego went accompanied by the brave owner of the Fuso Szulc to La Jolla.
Where is the small workshop of Eric Ferguson.
Who is building the subframe for the expedition vehicle.
We all could see from the pictures published on this blog yesterday at what stage the work is.
Obviously still a lot needs to be done.
The welding of the frame is not finished.
The diesel tank and batteries of the truck have not been taking off.
The truck has not been coated.
The camperbox has not been made corrosion free and coated.
And finally, the expedition vehicle has not been assembled yet.
Nevertheless, Eric Ferguson promised that today everything would be ready.
That sounds like a miracle will have to take place.
It looks too much work to do in such a short time.
The situation is now that Kearny Mesa Mitsubishi Truck Dealer will wait today for a phone call from Eric Ferguson.
To announce the expedition vehicle is ready.
The promise of Eric Ferguson has received a lot of scepticism.
In the end, he got the truck more than five weeks ago.
And during the first four weeks he has been doing hardly anything to it.
Just having it there, the camper box taken off and working on trucks of other customers.
When Ron Lucero of Kearny Mesa Mitsubishi Truck Dealer went over to Eric Ferguson’s workshop one week ago, the bizarre fact became clear that hardly anything had been done.
Unfortunately, Kearny Mesa Mitsubishi Truck Dealer had informed the pioneering photographer, when still in Europe, two weeks before, that the expedition vehicle would be ready.
That’s why the permanent pilgrim had come to the USA.
If the expedition vehicle had not been ready, this project in the Ukraine could have been performed.
To come to the USA some weeks later.
It is an uncomfortable situation for everybody.
Except for Eric Ferguson.
He takes his time and can’t care less.
In fact, he already got from Kearny Mesa Mitsubishi Truck Dealer a new assignment to build another subframe for a Kearny Mesa Mitsubishi Truck Dealer customer who bought a Fuso FG and has a camper box to put on it.
Today the ExtendedStay Hotel in Carlsbad needs to be left before 11.00 am
And then where to go?
Because it is simply a matter of waiting.
And to be stand-by because when Eric Ferguson calls Kearny Mesa Mitsubishi Truck Dealer, the pioneering photographer will accompany Ron Lucero to La Jolla.
To see the final result.
To check if the job has been done as was agreed.
To see if the truck is completely level.
And to test if everything has been going well.
Because yesterday it was noticed that one of the Mexican labourers of Eric Ferguson was doing welding at the camper box.
While the camper box was still connected to 110 volt to charge the batteries.
While all the 6 Trojan batteries were still connected.
While the electrical system of the camper box was not switched off.
Repeatedly Eric Ferguson was informed that welding at the camper box could only be done when all batteries were disconnected and the electrical system switched off completely.
We will have to see what is the result of this welding job.
In the past this mistake has already occurred.
It blew up the two halogen backlights.
And the solar energy controller.
Total cost of the damage due to the mistake was over $ 500.
Hopefully the ground connection that was hooked up to the camper box will have done an adequate job.
If the Fuso Szulc is ready today, it will be very late.
But the expectation is that it won’t be ready today.
That means another hotel room.
