7/21/2009

After a week off from vacationing with Wilbur, we were condo camping, we are back on the road.




Well I had a problem yesterday. We drove from home to the coast (Lincoln City, OR) and after visiting the casino we returned to Wilbur only to be told by another RV'r of the bulge on our right front tire. Great, it's 530 and the dealer I need to take it to is 30miles away in Newport Oregon.






The decision is made, after calling everyone who would answer the phone, to drive slowly towards the shop and stay at the Elks lodge in Newport. The shop owner is an Elks member and even called the lodge to make sure they had space for me.






So at 20MPH we drive to the lodge, and spend the night wondering if the tire would blow, or just go flat. In the morning all was good and drove to the shop where they have the new tire to be in at 8:00AM. They even put my old spare on and said to come back in the morning for our free replacement tire. I will also be buying a new tire for a spare. The spare I had was an old tire.








Then last night the bathroom and bedroom light quit working. Of course I fixed it today by pushing the fuse back in place. So we spent a day looking at the ocean.
