Eugene OR

Up and ready to evacuate the coach by 8am, they took it in pretty much straight away so they got a good start on it.  Rental car arrived at 9.30am and we are off having a day out in a much smaller and easier to park vehicle for a change.  Actually it’s not that small, a Dodge Dart, quite nice.  

Anyway we have a list to tick off so load all the addresses into both the GPS and Copilot, there is quite a nice feature on that which sorts them into the best order for you, so we are on our way  - Jerry’s to return bedroom ceiling fan (ceiling too low for safety – likely to get an unwelcome haircut or manicure), visit Dollar Tree, swing by Cabelas to buy the Depth Sounder, dang it - they have sold out so Kim sits in the car and buys one online while I finishing shopping at Gateway, lunch at Carl’s Junior (Kim might be forsaking McDonalds),  then shopping at DSW (Designer Shoe Warehouse) and Oak Way Mall, spending rather a lot of time at Nordstorms Rack Room, visit paint shop to check they can match coach paint and supply in cans for us to do some touch ups, Northwest RV to exchange towel rails for ones which don’t protrude so much, find a bunch of other stuff to buy there as you do.  Back to Cat to see how they’re  going.  They are going well and will finish working on it tonight so suggest we bugger off for a couple more hours.

Dinner at Applebee’s is next, been meaning to try this restaurant for ages.  We start with a cocktail shaker full of the most yummy Margaritas each, salad, spare ribs and sides.  Way too much food but it was too good to leave any.  Did a bit more shopping and 'rolled' back to Cat about 9 pm.  They were just cleaning up before parking the coach back outside for us to sleep in tonight.  Takes us a while to unload the car and do show and tell with all our purchases!  A good day!
