Valentines day

The idea of free candy and a cheap breakfast at the coast had us drive to Lincoln City.  The Chinook Winds Casino has a special (for us mature individuals) every Tuesday this year, yes all of 2012, of a $2.00 breakfast in the Casino buffet or a $2.95 breakfast at the hotel restaurant with an ocean view.

Being the big spender I am, oh and there was a long line for the buffet we ate with the view, but first we picked up our free candy.  WOW free candy and a cheap breakfast, now that's my kind of valentines day celebration.

I didn't get much else done for the day but score points, which will come in handy when I screw up something in the future. Retirement is good.

Cleaning up Wilbur

Today the weather was a taste of Spring and we spent some time in Wilbur doing some final cleaning before we head out for adventure, or at least a trip someplace.

I guess my assistant is needing me inside.

This is my built in vacuum cleaner system.

And I installed the new shower curtain that we bought a year ago or so.

 So where are we headed first?  I cant believe my wife is so excited to go someplace.  We have such good thoughts of past trips.

NO not another old RV

I can not understand why anyone would want so many old RV's but my friend Terry has gone overboard with this addiction. And yes, even I have made another trip to help him.
So this is what he drove home today.

Oh yea it was FREE.  I didn't follow him all the way home this time.  I hope he made it.

My friends new '72 Winnebago

For those who don't have a Winnebago, er make that a Classic Winnebago, there is something enjoyable about having one..................or two of them.  So one one of my friends bought a '72 that of course didn't run, and me being someone who likes the smell of old gas, offered to help him get it home.


Now having helped this same friend work on getting a different Bago running, just this past November, I think it is getting close to pay back time.
So here is the latest find.

This is where he bought it.

Then all it needed was the windshield washed.

And a few gallons of gas,   yea right.

Getting Wilbur ready to use.

Today was a beautiful day to be outside and Wilbur needed to get out too.

My wife has this clean thing and so we backed out Wilbur and started cleaning.  The bedding  was removed and things were wiped down.  The window blinds even got a cleaning.

My 1973 Winnebago Indian.

And one of my Winnebago friends even bought another Classic Bago today.

A 1972 Winnebago.

The tow Bar continued.......

Today I figured out some more of the tow bar brackets.

The main thing was to figure out how high to mount the tow bar on the wagon.  The tow bar should be level when connected to the motor home.

Jack stands work good.

This part can fold up and stay on the wagon.

A trip to the Coast

I just got back from a few days on the Oregon Coast, so that is why the break in my posts.

The weather was really great and it only really rained at night.  The coast is one place my wife and I like to spend time doing nothing.  Our daughter was able to spend time with us, and take my wife shopping while I spent a day in meetings. 

Did you know there are insect eating plants on the Oregon Coast?

This place is on the North side of Florence Oregon close to HWY101.

This picture was taken today at the resort we stayed at.
No RV camping this time.

In Yachats OR.

So back to my Wagon stuff and get this thing ready to tow.
