Day 3574

 I woke up at 6:30, played games for 15 minutes, and then got up to have breakfast.  After that I started to get ready to leave.

There were several extra things to be done.  I drained the shower tank and brought the clothes in from the shed.  Then I took down the pin box tripod and put it in the shed.  I also put the dog wash in the shed along with the hose used to drain the tank.  After that it was mainly the usual stuff.  The final extra item was disconnecting the water hose, winding it up, and putting it in the shed.

We left the club about 8:30.  Traffic getting out of town was OK except for s relatively short traffic jam on 205 by Foster.  We were passing Troutdale at 9:30.  From there it was the usual long boring drive.  The only 2 things of note were that we used "3 bars" of DEF in 200 miles.  We had to stop at a rest area to refill.  The second was mistakenly stopping at Boardman for fuel.  They only have biodiesel.

We stopped at the Maverick in Baker so I could take a shit and get some coffee.  The coffee made the 40 mile drive to Richland enjoyable.  When we got there we parked and set up.  I went to put a charger on the Bronco, but it started without one.

The Bronco is much improved.  The steering is great, at least for its time.  They also tuned it up or something because it no longer stumbles at low revs and seems to have a little more power.

We went to see Dan and Patsy and we all took the dogs to Holcomb.  After that they went to friends for dinner and we watched videos and ate leftovers at home. 

After dinner I switched to surfing and Ellen watched a chick flick.
