April 19 to 21, 2014; last days in Coburg, Oregon

APR  19, Saturday, Coburg
8* @ 8am; 19* in pm

We woke up to a cloudy day!  Val finally got up at 9:30 am!!!  I don’t know how she does it!?  The sun came out for a few minutes then rain took over.  It was like that all day!  We first took a long walk with Tucker tagging along then we went into Eugene to the Mall and looked at what movies were on at the theatre but nothing was interesting us so we went for lunch at a local Chinese restaurant.  We stopped at Costco and bought a 10” Samsung tablet and a new 2014 Quicken program to update mine then we came home via Coburg Drive.  We got back in time for a drink before dinner and Val even had time to get some Tai-Chi in.

 
APR  20, Sunday, Coburg
8*C in am; 17*C in pm

It was sunny most of the day but it is now clouding over at 6 pm.  We had a lazy morning then we went to Best Buy to have the computer fix only to find everything close except Walmart and grocery stores.  My DVD player won’t work and I don’t know why; I hope it is only a connection and not the player itself or I might have to buy a new one (Hmmmmm!).  We went to Road House for lunch then came home.  I disconnected and drove around the corner to dump the grey tank then came back to our spot.  In the process, I fried the coffee pot when I re-connected the power so had to drive to Walmart to get another one.  Lesson learned here!  We watched the “Good Wife” then a movie.  Bedtime was early!

 
APR  21, Monday; Back in the shop
8*C in am; 18*C in pm

It was sunny most of the day but now it is raining (4 pm).  The forecast doesn’t look great for our drive home!  Anyway, we were out by 7:30 am and went for breakfast at our favorite place.  We then went to Albertson and returned a movie then went to Best Buy but it was closed until 10 am so we went to Staples next door and looked at covers for Val’s new Tablet and bought one with a built in keyboard.  When Best Buy opened, we went in and I had my laptop’s DVD player checked  and ended up buying an external DVD player for $30.  Cheaper than having mine fixed; I think it is time to buy a new laptop!!!.
We came back to Monaco and after sitting around, we finally got our rig at 3;30 pm.  Everything was done to our satisfaction and paid our bill, OUCH!!!!  We set up for the night as it is too late to leave and I need a good night undisturbed sleep!  Banger & Mash for dinner then we watched “Black List”.  Tomorrow, we head home.
