Tuesday, I Think............

and we made it back to Vancouver this afternoon. Deception Pass State Park, and the whole surrounding area including Oak Harbor, Coupeville, Anacortes, etc, is really neat but without my MTV and "B" without her internet.......well it just makes for a loooonnnggg 10 days, so we left on Sunday and headed back to Millersylvania State Park just south of Olympa, WA. Spent two days there and I was able to hook up my TV satellite; but, spent over an hour and a half trying to get the internet satellite hooked up. No luck, the trees were just too tall in the campground. I was able to get a signal but unable to hold it for continued reception. Someone outta invent a laser beam that would cut a hole in trees, buildings, people and anything else that was in the way!

Millersylvania is a really nice state park, lottsa hiking trails, serviced RV sites, lake with something resembling a beach and is a great area for "twerps". Centralia is fairly close and it's about 20 miles to the Lucky Eagle casino for those inclined in that direction. (We contributed as usual because we weren't smart enough to quit when we were ahead!!) We browsed around Centralia, "B" went a little nutso at the Factory Stores and we found this "house" in Centralia which was, I think, was someone's conception of "art". It wasn't open when we cruised by but they had a sign by the door that indicated "free admission".........hell, I'd be first in line for a frontal lobotomy if it was advertised for "FREE". Unfortunately we didn't make it back when it was open so the contents will probably always be a mystery.

Got both dishes hooked up and we're at Dug's house until we mosey out to Paradise Point on Friday...........unless we head for Sand Lake for fun in the sand over the weekend. Will make that decision later. Got the license plates for the Suzuki taken care of today and will get a base sticker from the Portland Air Force Base tomorrow. Gotta go see Les Schwab tomorrow also to see if they can do anything else about the tires on the M/H. They got rid of the "wiggle" but still encountering a bumpy ride going down the road. Might have a out of round tire or one that isn't properly balanced. Sure hope they can find the problem 'cause it sure is a PITA the way it is.

Got Becky's internet connections up and running BEFORE I hooked up my MTV so she be slaving over a hot stove with pork chops, fried potatoes, gravy, etc. etc., as I update this Blog. Good trade off! Later. Wayne & Becky
