After a while crocodile.
Wee. The brakes are changed, as are the spark plugs, and air filter. We filled the tank up with Premium, and added some booster stuff, and decided to get an oil change in Oregon before we come back. I washed the car, vacuumed and polished the insides, and put some good smelling stuff in the back window. All that’s left to do is pack our stuff and we’re out of here in a nicely taken care of car. My mother gave us an AAA membership earlier this year, so we’re safe for the entire drive no matter what.
And let me tell you, that membership is worth it. The hotel and camping discounts rock, you get a discount at Napa, and having it actually got PimpDaddyPain a raise. Last week the company truck broke down in Ephrata, and PDP just had it towed on our card. Saved the company $400, so the boss gave PDP raise… which netted us over $80 extra on his paycheck. That almost pays for the membership. And it’s saved us so much money on parts and travel. When my Mom told me what my wedding gift was I muttered, but it’s the best thing we got!
Back to the trip… instead of driving to Ephrata/Moses Lake by myself on Tuesday I am just going to go with the crew when they leave Monday morning. It means a night of camping with the “guys”, fishing, golfing, and time to explore a new city. We’re going to leave the moment PimpDaddyPain gets off work, and just drive to Eugene (and then down to Coos Bay) from where the job site is. So I have to have the house in order and everything packed by tomorrow. We have already missed the last two weeks of church, and I have a feeling we will miss tomorrow as well… just so much to do!
The landlord is keeping Whiskey for us, and they’ll be checking on the cat as well… so it’s just going to be us, which makes things much easier. If we can find a decently priced universal hitch in Oregon we may be towing back the rest of our stuff, just depends on how much time we have to shop while we’re there…every day in Oregon is planned out to the hour, and I don’t know how much free time we’ll have between the bridal shower, bachelorette party, rehearsal dinner, the WEDDING!!!, the reception, and then a big family barbecue to celebrate several different things. This will be the first time my Dad’s family, my Mom’s family, PimpDaddyPain’s family, and all of our friends are in one place together! It’s certainly going to be interesting.
I doubt I will be online - so if you e-mail me please be patient. I am scared of what my feed reader is going to look like when I can finally check it on the 11th. Text me girls, I will miss you all!
