Other things around our area...

We continue to enjoy our enforced stay in Grants Pass...

We stopped by Tehama Tires who had dismounted our previous tire from the wheel so we could recycle the wheel. You can see the gash down there at the bottom part of the tire. The guy at Tehama said that the gash went down to the steel belt.

We were not able to get a new Michelin tire (nothing available in the area) so decided to go with an off brand for a time until we can get a Michelin sometime later down the road.

We stopped back at Yumberry Bowls and Dwayne got a Forest Grove and I got the Australian Outback (chocolate). Honestly, though the chocolate was good, I enjoyed the fruity Rio more... the chocolate one has more calories and was really a bit more than I wanted to eat!

After getting the wheel from Tehama, we found a metal recycling place and took the aluminum wheel there for scrap value.

Dwayne is weighing himself on the scale... it says 140#... a little lower than what our scale in the bus says. It showed 120# for me... also a little lower than what our scale in the bus registers too... maybe we should always go to this location to do our weigh-ins!

We were trying to find a hardware store and found Farmer's Building and Feed Supply, which has a bit of EVERYTHING - including cute bunnies for sale for $10.00! We decided that two kitties are enough to have in the bus...

We wrapped up our day yesterday with a visit to "Cartwright's" Meat Market, Produce, and Deli...

We got some 93% lean ground beef since it was on special... and enjoyed hearing that the store was started by a man who had been a butcher in the military and when he got out, he started a butcher shop... I think I understood that the third generation is now in charge. They had very nice produce and meat; we got a sandwich from their deli counter. I think we'll be visiting them again!
We're thinking that we will move to a campground for the weekend... will check with Henderson's this morning whether they think they will do any work on Miss Doozie this afternoon. The shop is closed over the weekend, so we can get full hookups and relax for a couple of days.
