Welcome To California................

we just paid $3.35 for a gallon of gas at the Shell Station, Harris Ranch. Fortunately the M/H will make it to Woodland where I can fill it up at Costco.........it's gotta be cheaper than $3.35. Of course we're on the I-5 corridor so guess they can charge about whatever they want to. Just before we pulled onto I-5 west of Bakersfield Becky saw a station where gas was $3.79 a gallon.

Made a bunch of phone calls yesterday trying to find someone who had tires for the trailer. Finally found one place who had them in stock so we stopped this morning and had two new tires installed on the trailer. About a $180 for two little bitty tires! Spendy stop in Barstow; but, at least we gotter done so no more concern about tires.

We're parked in the Harris Ranch parking lot where we'll spend the night. Got the little generator running, my MTV on line and the air card is working great and I just had an EXCELLENT filet mignon cooked to perfection. Baked potato wasn't as hot as it should have been when it arrived but overall a great meal. Spendy though. Fortunately, I had a "cheap date" who ordered a chicken fried steak that cost half of what mine did...........and she's got enough left over for lunch tomorrow.

Well, will check email and then post this so Becky can get her "farming" done. On to Woodland tomorrow when ever we get up........less than 200 miles to go so we're in no hurry.

Later. w&b
