8*C @ 6am; 19*C in pm
We
were up at 6 am to be ready by 7:30 when our rig goes in. After checking in, we went to the local
restaurant that we frequented last year, for breakfast. We found out that they have washing machine
in the back so we will be back later to do ours. We went to a Jeep dealer to have my engine
light checked and made an appointment for tomorrow to have it fix. From here, we went to “Camping World” and
bought a few things then it was back to T/A Travel centre where we did our
laundry. Their system is connected to a
machine and you can use your credit card to wash and dry your clothes; pretty
neat! From here, it was off to Walmart
for some grocery and stock up on wine and beer.
We came back to MONACO to find our Beaver parked but the office closed. We put our stuff and laundry away and checked
out what had been done: Bedroom slide was adjusted, burner was fixed and the
line underneath was secured but the main slide locking bar still need to be
fixed.
We
had HH then dinner and were in bed early!8* in am; 18* in pm and cloudy most of the day
We
were up by 6:30 am, had coffee and got ready to turn over the Beaver for more
repair. We went for breakfast with our
neighbours then we drove to Lithia Dodge & Jeep in Eugene to have the jeep
repaired. We ended up spending from 9 am
to 3 pm there, sitting around and getting bored. We went to a pub across the street for
lunch. We had the 4 Oxygen sensors
changed as per recommendation then as we left, we noticed the engine light
still on so back we went and sat around for nothing because at 3 PM they still
hadn’t found the problem so I said enough and we left. We only paid for the sensors & labor
which was plenty. We came back to Monaco
and soon our rig was back in its spot.
Everything is done except for the Slide lock-in which won’t be here until
Friday!!! Bloody Hell! We had a drink
then dinner. We don’t have to get up
early tomorrow which is a bonus in itself.
10* @ 7 am; 18*C in pm
I
decided yesterday to have an oil & lube and fuel filters done here. It is a lot cheaper than in BC! So…. We went to Camping World and had it
done ($269 VS $599 at Monaco). While there, we bought a better
antenna for the local channels. We found
out that the old antenna wasn’t hook-up which is why we couldn’t get any
channels but the wiring is all mixed up so they spent over 3 hours chasing and fixing the coax cable in the
back of the cabinet and only charged us for one hour. We were back at our spot by 4:30 pm and now
we are watching local TV and receiving about 8 channels including all the major
Networks. We had dinner and relaxed with
a glass of wine. It rained all day!
10* in am; 17*C in pm
We
were up by 6:30 am (slept in) and out by 7:20.
We found out that the parts wouldn’t be in until 10 am so we went to the
local restaurant at the Truck Stop at the corner and had lunch. Lloyd and Teanna, from Alberta, joined
us. They are supposed to be out of here by early
afternoon. Afterwards, we went to town
to Walmart to buy batteries for our alarm clock but no luck so we went to Best
Buy. Val was sweating bricks, she was so
worry to I would spend a fortune there but I showed her that I can control
myself, even though it was tough! We
came back to Monaco and spent the afternoon in their lounge. I found out at 4 pm that we will be stuck
here for the week-end. The locks they
sent were thicker than the old ones so they have to grind down and sides so
that the slide will close properly.
Nothing we can do except accept it and make the best of it. We parked and set up back at our spot, (at least it is
not costing anything for power and water).
We had HH, dinner and enjoyed the Tube
