Day 3808

 I woke up before 5 to piss.  Ellen's asshole was giving her problems, so she was up and down continuously.  That meant that I couldn't get back to sleep.  I decided to give up and get up.  I had breakfast and then went out to hook up.

Hooking up went fine.  The drive to Baker City was OK except for the tire alarm going off.  I think that the reason was that the temperature was 50.  That was cold enough to drop the pressure below the alarm's threshold.  The tires worked fine the whole trip. 

We spent some time in Baker looking for a tire station that would do 120 PSI.  Maverick, Lowe's, and Shell all didn't have one.  We fueled up and then headed to Redmond.  We left Baker at 6:44.

The trip was great.  There wasn't a lot of people on the road.  That was probably a function of the time and the fuel costs.  I was only passed twice and I only passed people twice.  Best of all - NO TRUCKS.  In spite of being careful to always avoid pushing the trailer in corners I managed to beat the GPS par time by 10 minutes.  That was because I drove 65 whenever the road allowed.

We got to Redmond at noon.  We set up and fed the pets.  I tried to to pump up the lowest trailer tire with the highly recommended pump I'd bought.  It got to 114 PSI before it died.  I'll be getting something else. After that we went to the RC store in town.  

The store was nice.  I had a good talk with him.  He had one of the huge Losi trucks there.  I could have bought it, but I would have no way to get it to Texas.  He didn't really have anything else that I was interested in.  I did find a part for the Slash that I bought.

After that we went back to the trailer.  Grant called and we set dinner at 4.  We had a great time at dinner.  Grant is a cool guy.  We talked about what he was doing, what we were doing, and a little about Hooch.  Grant had to get up at 3 for a flight so we said good bye about 5:30.

When we got home Ellen crashed.  I fed the pets, walked Abby, and started to watch videos which turned into a nap.  When I woke up I did a little surfing and then went to bed.  Tomorrow is get up at 7 and drive to Gervais.
