Thursday, June 15th, 2017….. Little bit of rain last night but just
drizzles today. Watching the weather we can see
it’s a whole lot cooler here than SoCal! Today was
the water test day at the house. But when I called them yesterday to check on
the time window they told me the homeowner had originally scheduled it for
Friday. No problem since we don’t need
to be there for the 4 hour flow test but we did learn that they came out on
Monday and have already taken water samples for that part of the test. We’ll get both of the results in a few days. So
that said, we had no place to go today so we hung around the coach. I paid for
the next week’s camping and we just vegged out for the day. Around 5:00pm we
drove the ½ mile into town. We wanted to try the other eating establishment in
Coburg - Bronco Saloon - for dinner. Nice
place. Lydia had a wedge salad w/chicken and I tried their bbg wings. We both
thought it was just ok. But the beer was nice and cold! Then it was back to the
rig and tv.
Friday, June 16th, 2017….. We slept in this morning and around 11:00am or
so took off to Corvallis to go shopping.
Lydia wanted to check out the Dress Barn there plus we had to go to
Albany anyway to pick up some prelim. title docs. She found some things just for the wedding
and then bought some more just for the trip! I still need a dress shirt and pants but we
have plenty of time. We went to Taco Bell for lunch, picked up the docs, and
then stopped at Coastal Farm & Ranch on the way out of town to check out
what they have for in the future. Nice store. We drove back home and rested for
awhile. Neither of us were hungry for
dinner so we snacked a bit and then walked the park again. It’s Friday so there are rigs coming in for
the weekend. It’s always fun to see where they’re from and talk with folks a
bit while we’re out.
Saturday, June 17th, 2017…..
The rain left us yesterday. We’re supposed to see sunny skies for the
next week or so. Should get up in the
mid 80’s which we hear is a hot summer up here! (sorry SoCal!). We ate breakfast in and hung around for a
while and then walked to town. It’s
probably a mile total there and back so it was a nice walk. Coburg is an historical town with no major
amenities. It’s mainly a one street
town. There are three places to eat, a nursery, a flower shop, and a Dari Mart
(like a larger 7/11). Mostly they are known for their antique shops (probably
6-7). We walked through a couple of
shops and then went to Dari Mart for water, and then walked home. Later, we went south into Eugene (maybe 4
miles) to Newman’s Seafood. We were there back in Sept. and really enjoyed
it. We’ve now been to four seafood
places in the area and Newman’s is our favorite. This one is a small place where you order
from a counter and the tables are outside under a patio. There’s another one
downtown that we will go find later while we are here. We stopped at Safeway on the way back and got
a package of chicken for meals for next week.
When we got back to the rig our neighbor was out. I spoke to him a
bit. He’s still waiting for a space to
open in a mobile home park down the road.
I told him about our home to be and he agrees that we’re crazy to have
that much land! He and his wife are in
their mid 80’s and he says he doesn’t want to look at another lawn again! Our plans tonight are to take another walk and
then maybe sit out a while.
Enjoying your blogs, Terry. All caught up now!
