Another Productive Day in Oregon

As you can see, Teri and I were busy today. We insulated the box that the new refrigerator will go in. This should help it work much better and easier. Two trips to Home Dpot and one to Ace Hardware, a little sweat, and 3 hours we were cleaning up and done. Teri is good to help me. She made the templates that we needed and then finished everything off with a nice caulking job in and around the corners. We found this job to be fairly easy and satisfying when we were done. About fifteen dollars and some gas to complete this little project. Also, Teri's dad found a place where we can dump the old frige Saturday, hopefully after the new one arrives, from Portland, and is installed. We have to use the door panels from the old one. Don't know why the new one does not come with them already installed. For the cost of the thing it shoud have gold handles on the doors.
This evening Teri's dad and I ran over to Walla Walla, Wa. All I knew about the place was there is a big prison there. It is a nice looking old town. Green grass and lots of trees. The land between here and there is rocks and tumble weed, except where irrigated. Was a pretty drive along the south side of the Columbia River all the way. Teri and I will be traveling back that way Monday when we leave here for Idaho. She will get photos.
I am hoping that my shocks arrive Wednesday so we can jack the coach up and replace the two on the passenger side rear . I think I told you that back in June we found one loose, yea, like the brake caliper, and Monday it was broken. Oh well, minor setback. That will leave Thurs and Friday open to the possibility of installing the new frige should it arrive. Shocks are coming from my friend, Jim K., just south of San Francisco. He shipped them Monday so I may be a bit optimistic on Wednesday arrival.
Sam is better tonite. She was sick this am, really sick, but I got her some different dog food and she is eating it. Seems to have her appitite returning and is getting spunky again. We played with her toys this afternoon.
Should you want to see where we are going, when we leave here Monday, we will travel 730 to Lewiston, Id, then 12 on over to Rob's, just west of Kooskia, Id.
Have a good week. Working folks remember Wednesday is "hump day". Come back when you can. Dan
