The Old Onan is out

Wow you should see how much room I found. Yea the old Onan did take up a lot of room and was not the lightest thing I have ever moved. Now to put a wire and plug on the existing wires to the new generator.

Swapping fridge doors

Since it looks like #230 will be heading South (or South East) I got to looking at the fridge. The door liner did not have cracks in it like my '73 Indian door. So I took both doors apart and took the best parts to make a good one for my '73. The outside of the door is wood and darker on the '73. Looks good so far. Of course my wife will have it cleaned to within an inch of its life before she will use it. Next job is removing the old Onan genset to make room for the tiny Kipor 1000.

#230 Might be moving on

For those of you that know my other Bago is an old one, the 230th Winnebago to be exact, was to make a trip to Ohio but the cost of shipping made it unlikley. So now I think my brother might be up to the challange, I hope. Well if I give it to him he can't tell mom I took his money. Time will tell if he wants it after he takes a good look at it.

Oregon Coast Casino trip

My plan for the last week of June is to stay at three Casinos along the Oregon Coast. Start out at the Chinook Winds Casino in Lincoln City, then drive South to Florence and stay at the Three Rivers Casino then South to the Mill Casino in Coos Bay. The plan is to take a week and stay in the FREE lots at the Casinos. We have several places planned to see along the way. It's been a long time since we have to some of these places so I think a week might not be long enough but my wife thinks we should start with one week planned and see how it goes. http://www.casinocamper.com/Oregon.htm for a list of Oregon Casinos.

Things have changed

I haven't posted anything for awhile but here is the reason. My mother-in-law has been in bad health for a few years. The day before mothers day she passed away. Here is her obituary, http://online.statesmanjournal.com/obituaries/obituary.cfm?i=33885" . Well life goes on and I do plan on more vacations and enjoy life more, Les

Comming home from the Coast outing

Today we came home from a couple of nights at the Coast. Wilbur ran great and no problems other than a couple of leaks in all the rain and wind. Above the windshield must have a leak and then the bathroom ceiling vent/escape hatch had drips. Friday was great weather but then Saturday about 4:30AM I heard the rain. Rain off and on Saturday turned into drier weather on Sunday. This was one of those relaxing trips to the Coast with thime to read and play cards with my wife. The empty nest stuff is great, er I mean I sure miss the kids.....thats in case they read this. Wilbur is unloaded and ready to put in the garage. I might have to wash him since all the rain and wet roads kind of make for a dirty outside. Now to try posting pictures.....

WIFI in Lincoln City Oregon

I did find out that the City Library has a good WIFI signal outside the building. Most of the time I pull into Burger King and connect to their WIFI but this time the libaray across the street came in good. So if you are ever in town try the libary. They have computers to use inside and WIFI outside.
