Where's Terry..............and Carolann too

Ok I saw a picture or two posted on Face book from the traveling couple in Southern CA.

An they still look like they like eachother.  Now that's love.

What do you think Terry is reading about.  Probably ancient counter tops or something like that.

So the weather here was really nice, kind of cold in the morning, but we took the mustang out for a drive today.

And of course there was yard work to do.  Mowed the lawn and worked on getting rid of some moss in the lawn. 

It's Friday........WOW

Why is Friday so nice, even when retired.  I guess it was all those years of looking forward to a couple of days off.  And the weather is suppose to be nice for the weekend.  Oh Boy, maybe I can work in the yard.

I would like to take Wilbur out and check over a few things.  One thing to do is the brakes.  Since I bought the wagon, and set it up to be towed, the brakes should get some extra use when adding the wagon.  And then I would like to check out several little things that go through your mind when out on the road.

And if the weather is getting nicer I just might try to clean up the rusty spots on the wagon and touch up the paint.  Now that might be getting carried away but Hoodstock is in 2 weeks and I might have to keep up with the image of being so neat...............oh it's only a bunch of old RV's.  Maybe I will bring some paint and supplies with me and see if anyone wants to work on it.

Oh I am ready for camping.  So I backed Wilbur out of the garage today and adjusted one of the rear brakes since the other one seemed to be in adjustment already.  I know they are self adjusting but sometimes things don't work as advertised.
And I have a gravel parking lot close by at a school.  So after school Sophie and I took a drive to try out the brakes.  I know my wife enjoys Wilbur because she was ready to ride along.  And she brought out some different cushions for the front seats.

Update from S. CA and the travelers.

I saw this was posted on face book.  The info was they are heading back to Santa Barbara and enjoying the traffic.

Where's Terry............and Carolann too.

The news this morning is they are in Santa Barbara.  I talked with Terry and ask if Carolann was still smiling.............He said she was. 

They need to get back soon because it will be time for Hoodstock in a couple of weeks and they are suppose to bring the warm dry weather.   Oh the blue sky,  green grass and warm sun.  Far out man.

Hey where did you get that hat?   Going surfing dude?

 Will the fun continue all the way home??

Where's Terry............and Carolann too.

OK this was the day to put a new rear wheel cylinder in and hit the road.............again.  I guess things went good because I was sent pictures.

I was told this was taken from the chasing parts trip.

This must be an one the road again picture.

There was some message about several parts being replaced.  I don't know if I believe it all, but here it is,

"So far we have fixed the refrigerator fixed the brakes back 

installed new gas filters for the third time and enough good this time. 

A new distributor, installed non-leaking gas caps would really helped mpg. 

And heading for Santa Barbara"

Where's Terry............and Carolann too.

Terry sent this picture saying he hopes they don't catch him.  I guess that means working on his RV in the RV area because with the wheels off I can walk faster than his MH goes, LOL.

 

So that's where some of my tools went.......

Two Chieftains,  The '72  and  a  '02.   Only 30 years difference.

Terry with his newest best friend.  Can you hear Terry say "so you wana trade?"

 

Today Terry saved lots of gas.  If you have to brake down where could be better than at an Elks lodge.  Another good reason to join the Elks.
The new wheel cylinder should be in tomorrow and how far will Terry make it.  I sure hope this is the last repair on the road for this trip.

On another subject:
Walgreens is having a walk with Walgreens thing going on.  If you join up either online or in the store you can get a neat box of stuff free.  Well it's not so great but it's free.  A pedometer and a bag.

Take a look  http://walk.walgreens.com/  and sign up.

Terry might want to keep track of how far he has to walk to the parts store.........................

OK the word from Southern CA is a brake problem has developed.

Sounds like all the magic stopping juice is leaking from inside a rear wheel.  He is at the Elks Lodge in Atascadero, California.  I have put out some emails and heard back from one about a tire shop about 20 minutes away that has worked on RV's,  probably not 40 year old RV's though.

Does this look like he has any worries?  And he said he has a friend with a pick up with him???  Now I am confused.  I thought I was his only friend.   You might really be on your own this time mister Unger......

Kind of reminds me of Alfred E Newman.   What me worry?

                                                     


But on another note the weather here was fantastic today.  Sophie and I walked across the Willamette River down town Salem twice, on two separate bridges.

Spring just might be here this time.

My bride and I go on a walk in the sun.

Most of the time you walk down the walkway to get on the boat.

Old Tom McCall is still fishing...and catching fish too.

Where's Terry............and Carolann too.

So it's Sunday and where else would Terry be but in church.  Can you hear Terry praying all the way to California in the Bago.  And looking at this picture, the sky is blue and the street is dry.
Is this an April fools day joke???????????
