Modesto CA

Today was a great day. My wife's birthday and I got her a present.  Well a couple of them really.  And here at a super 8 they have a nice pool to relax around until we head to FAT tomorrow and pick up our daughter and SIL. 

Our room is on the left side of the picture.  And I was to lazy to move the chair out of the picture. 

Eagles Aerie in Medford OR

Today I stopped by the Eagles in Medford to see the RV spots.  They look good to me.  5 places with elect and water for $10.00.  I took a picture  but it is on my iPhone and I will have to load it up later.  Close to the shopping center and although I didn't  go into the Aerie it looked busy for lunch.  And this morning= when we were loading up the car at home I was almost ready to take Smokey on this trip.. In the car we have NO closet, NO fridge, NO room.  We will see how this goes when we pick up our Daughter and SIL at the Fresno airport Wednesday.

New tires are on

All set to hit the road when we have time.  

How cool are shiny new tires. 

Les Schwab installed Double Coin tires. 

Is it Christmas yet?

You know you are getting old when you walk into the store and see holiday stuff and wonder what month this is.   But Christmas in the first week in September?    Yea fred Meyer has Christmas lights on the shelf today.  And is this an ad on the TV from Kmart for Christmas?

So yesterday I put new brake pads on the front of put new Camry, well it was new when we bought it in 2005 115,000 miles ago. 

I'm tired of tires

If you only knew how much time I have put into looking at tires for Smokey you might think I'm nuts.  OK you probably know that I like a good deal DUH so tires should be the same decision.   I looked and looked.   Talked and talked.  And decided if you have a cheap RV you can have cheap tires.  So I am getting a new set of Double Coin tires.   And getting them at my own place,  Les's place.  That's Les Schwab.  So if you try to find a really great tire plenty of people will help you with the best tire is XXX and then the next guy hates them.  So if I get bad tires I will let you know.  

And we picked some apples today.  Man is there a great crop this year.  All of them so you can just walk up and pick without a ladder. 

Labor Day at the Coast

What could be better than this. And my Dish satellite worked great. We had a a concert at the chinook winds casino Saturday night and took advantage of the Boomer breakfast before leaving town on Tuesday morning. 

Camping with friends

As a sort of last minute outing a group of us decided to meet up in Lincoln city OR for the Labor Day Weekend. 

And last night most of us saw the Fab Four at the Chinook Winds Casino.  Watching great music with friends.  It doesn't get any better than that does it?
