Day 3220

 I got up at 8 and did the pet stuff and had breakfast.  Then I went outside and put air in the Bronco tires.  Their max pressure is 50 psi.  They were all at 22 or 23.  I filled them all up to 35.

As soon as that was done we left for Baker City.  The trip went faster than I thought it would.  One weird thing happened.  For about 6 miles the tach ran about 800 RPM high.  Then it went back to normal.

We stopped at the new Maverick for coffee and toilet before going to the car repair place.  We were just on time.  We talked for a while and then walked the dog while they did the repair.  There were fields all around the repair place.  Abby scared up a flock of pigeons, lots of tweety birds, and several quail.  She didn't point anything.  She just scared them up and chased them.  She did cover a lot of ground though.

The bottom line on the Bronco is that they made the steering better, but it's not perfect.  Perfect will require removing the steering unit and sending it in to be rebuilt.  The tach thing will require a new tach.  I told them that I'd live with it for a while and decide if I want them to do it.

After that we went to BiMart to get DEF and car wash things for Dan.  Unfortunately they didn't have the DEF.  The next stop was the farm place.  We got the DEF there.  They were having a DeWalt sale, but I didn't see anything I wanted.  With that done we went to the Mormon hamburger place for lunch.  It was really good and not too expensive.  The next stop was the Polaris place.  They wanted $18K for the CanAm and it wasn't the model I wanted anyway, so pass.

We stopped at Safeway to get stuff for dinner with Dan and Patsy tomorrow.  The last stop was the new Maverick for fuel on the way out of town.  It was expensive.  They charged $.25 a gallon to use a credit card.  They also sell B20.  I won't be back.

The trip back was OK.  The steering was a little better and the Bronco seems to like premium better than regular.  We stopped at Dan and Patsy's, but they weren't home.  We went back to the park.  Ellen paid our bill while I unloaded everything.  Then we took Abby to the water pump for a run.  She had a lot of fun, but only busted a few tweety birds.

We went back to Dan and Patsy's, but they still weren't there.  We went home and watched videos.

Dinner was something frozen followed by movies.  I'm getting tired of videos.
