Baby it's COLD outside

December 9th 7:00 AM
So whats up with this weather. In the Willamette Valley where I live we have "mild" weather but it's 15 outside, and my work van is outside. Can you see my gloves stuck to the steering wheel and my seat stuck to the seat. I think it's time to be sick today..................

Christmas lights

So my idea of winterizing Wilbur is to pull up the garage door and drive him in. To get out some of the Christmas lights I needed to back Wilbur out. But the weather is kind of cold right now, like below 32, so Wilbur is not allowed out to long.
I wonder if maybe during the holidays we will drive him to the coast for a night or two. But the weather has to warm up some for that to happen.

The Tornado on the Oregon Coast

Something that happened recently on the Oregon Coast was a Tornado went through the Roads End area of Lincoln City. The last time we were there I took some pictures. Here they are.

The roof was ripped off the white house and the blue house lost a large deck from the front of it. Looking farther to the right and up the hill, several houses lost windows, probably from the junk blowing around in the storm.

The new interior

So the new seats and dinette cushions are in. We did go for a test drive for a few miles and Sophie kind of liked the seats, but she has not give the final decision yet. So take a look .

Happy Thanksgiving

Another Thanksgiving is here again. The past year has been filled with great times and some not to good times. But today family and friends are gathering to celebrate the day.

The Wilbur make over.

11/13/09 Friday the 13th

So I found another 1973 Winnebago Indian, just like Wilbur, that was being parted out in Monroe Oregon.

Now Wilbur had his front seats replaced and this old Bago, I guess it really is the same age as Wilbur, had original seats that had been recovered. So when Jeff brought me the front seats from it I needed to give them a try. The passenger seat is a double wide seat and when I tried it in Wilbur it seemed like a couch. Wall to wall seating. This should work out good for movie night.

On the left is the before then the after picture.

If you look closely you can see the rusty carpet around the seat floor mount. This will take sometime to clean up. If it ever cleans up.

Fall 2009 Jamboree 9/25 - 9/27 Kelso, WA

Another great time was had with my Classic Winnebago friends in the great Northwest. In the last couple of years we get together in April and September to show off our rigs and just enjoy our friendship. All it takes is a place to go shoping for the gals, oh even us guy's enjoy a good store or two, and a place to go dancing. Now don't think that we spoil the girls, but we have found that if the girls are happy then the guys are happy. Just give me a place to set down and talk about motorhomes and I am happy.

Saturday night we had a pot luck supper. This is in Terry and Carolann's rig. We would kick them out of the club, since they don't really have a Winnebago, but we really like to use there rig because it is so large.

We found the local Red Lobster for lunch Saturday.

Jeff gets the last bug off his glass. Can you see the reflection of John and Sue's rig on the side.

Susan and Craig brought their Itaska Class C.
