Saturday..........

and still trying to get some stuff taken care of.........got the Suzuki in for a check-up and it seems to be running a lot better than it was. Guess the acid test will be to see if the gas mileage has improved. Dug and John did some more work on the Rhino, upgraded the highlights to HI beams and they outta work great at night. Ordered new front sand tires and they should be in before we head for Coos Bay.

The WA Morris' got a new puppy today so he was the highlight of the day. I forget what the heck he is; but, he's a little larger than a white rat and will probably be 10-12 pounds when he gets all grown up. I didn't get any pictures of him but maybe Becky will post some on her blog.

About 1700 we headed for Portland to attend a geocaching event. About 10 of us from the geocaching group in Yuma were there and it was nice to see old friends again. I also won a geocoin in a raffle and Becky won a couple of other items. When your ticket was drawn you had to draw a ticket for the next winner. Becky purchased some extra tickets and then drew her own ticket when she won the first time. I'm not even sure that anyone noticed except me.

Can you believe this..........Becky forgot to take a single picture! Mark that on your calendar.

Don't know what we'll be doing tomorrow............fireworks go on sale tomorrow; but, from the explosions we are hearing now you'd think they were already on sale. For the first time since 1962 Vancouver will NOT have their giant fireworks display...........billed as the largest display West of the Mississippi. Guess it too has become a victim of the economy.

Would liked to have made a speed run to Sand Lake; but, too occupied with other stuff today to get ready. Looks like we won't know how the mods on the Rhino will work until we get to Coos Bay. I'm still accepting donations for a new carburetor.

All for now. W&B
