Getting Wilbur ready for the first outing of the year

Tonight I put some water in the tanks and checked out the fresh water system. I had installed a water heater bypass last Fall and now with the water pump on I had a small leak under the table seat. Happy to find that before I found wet carpet, or worse my wife find the wet carpet. Tommorrow will be tire pressure and propane checks. It's only 60 miles to the coast and half way is a casino with free camping if I have have any trouble. Wish me luck.

Back from Seattle

Well we spent the week down town Seattle. With trips to local tourist places like Pikes market and shopping centers we came away with the trunk full and wallets empty. I just added that incase my wife reads this. She is a bargin shopper and wants to retire soon so saving money is a good thing. Now that its April I plan to take the old Bago out for some Coast trips. I made sure to fill the gas tanks before I send whats left to Uncle Sam.

Is it Spring break yet?

This month I plan to visit Seattle and enjoy the city and also meet some of the Classic Winnebago club members. Next to payday, vacations are my next favorite thing. My bago recived new curtains the other day. My wife found a piece of material around the house and we turned it into new front curtains. She really likes Wilbur and this Summer we have several vacations planned.

Dory Cove burned down

Now you might think one less place to eat on the Oregon Coast is not a problem but this place is next to a State park where we like to day camp. Just think of spending the day on the beach and only a short walk away is a great place to eat. I think this place made my wife enjoy camping in my (our) old Winnebago even better. Anyway this place is gone for now.

A Valentine get away

Yes it was a well deserved get away. The Oregon coast was beautiful on the day before Valentines day. Sunny and almost 60. The sun set from our Condo was the perfect way to end the day. 2 nights was a short but very enjoyable vacation. After 3 weeks of intense hospital time and a slow recovery of my mother-in-law we took off. Now it's back to work and life today..........

Out of the hospital

Grandma (mother-in-law) is out of the hospital and in a skilled care facility. I hope things improve soon. 16 days at Salem Hospital is a long time and all the doc's say she needs to get out of there before she picks up something like another illness or something.
