The wait continues!

The first came and went and I missed it!  I worked and totally forgot about the date.

We were notified by Basin Tire that we will not be getting our tires as promised.  Now we have to decide what to do.  They offered another brand for about the same price but Larry checked and there is no warranty as they are really truck tires.
New surge tank we purchased in Coburg, finally installed


Larry spent three days working on the "bolt on" replacement surge tank and had to retrofit many items on the coach.  He found several potential problems and fixed them, including finding the battery cable with a hole rubbed in the hydraulic line.  He re-routed the line and cable as well as fixed the hole in the line.  PTL he is so diligent with the coach!

I am working in the restaurant here at the RV park so we can stay without moving.  I work Thurs afternoon, Friday and Sat mornings.  It is hard work but a nice perk is I get tips.  I have also done a mystery shop in Bend.

Grandson, Colby, married his girlfriend, Krista, July 12 and will have a reception in Feb or Mar when the weather is nicer.  He said the temperature was “just a few degrees shy of the surface of the sun”.

We continue to make weekly runs to Bend and now our time is getting short, I have a list of everything we ‘need’ to purchase before we leave OR.  Seems the summer has really slipped away.

I bought a new Vita-MIx since I did something to the old one and fixing it would cost around $140 since it is out of warranty and I could get $100 trade-in on it so decided that was what I needed to do.  The new one is red to add accent to my kitchen area.  The stove cover is red as is my kitchen towel and hot pads.


Awesome Oregon sunset
I found a fun Tweety toilet lid cover on E-Bay so now I will have to look for my blue bath rug when we return to Phoenix in Nov.
