Well – I’m still in Bend! Got up bright and early – those of you who know me well know I don’t exactly rise and shine – got the rig over to Coachmasters only 15 minutes late, only to discover a couple of hours later, when I was expecting the ‘we’re all done’ call that in fact the brake pads were the wrong ones. Ahh yes…..
I’m spending the night – a chilly thunderstormy night – in the Coachmasters parking lot. The heat is on – the dogs are asleep although they haven’t yet had dinner – I have electric hook-ups so I’m going to have some cheater mac and cheese tonight. I’m going to take a shower and fall into bed.
I spent the day tracking down the sewer hose collar piece that did NOT come in the box from Walmart as it should have – and I didn’t notice ‘til now as I didn’t need it ‘til now, and yes, I NEED it! I realized how long Bend is as I drove up and down, up and down!! My Dad commented on that when they built the parkway in 2001 – I’ve spent $40 in fuel the last week just sort of going nowhere!
Oh – the good news is the rent check cleared and I got my ‘utility’ bills paid – as well as my health insurance. I even have fuel money. If I ever get to leave town! LOL If the part is wrong tomorrow I will go back to Cris and Tim’s to wait – the view is infinitely better there!
I’ve said goodbye to Dale yet again – bought every last little thing I think I might need; poop bags on sale, Yerba Mate for Emma, a soft Frisbee for Katy, etc. As if these items don’t exist in Idaho or Wyoming! I’ve told Emma my goal is certainly to be to Jackson by the 8th – she arrives from St Paul that day. One would have thought I had time to spare – now I wonder if my boss really believes I’m ever going to show up! :)
Maybe I’ll be on the road tomorrow – I’ll keep you posted!
