Arrived at River Bend RV resort in Harrisburg (near Junction City) in the late afternoon and got a full hook-up pull through site. We paid for one week knowing that we’d want to visit mom and dad for a few days before going to Waldport. We took a day trip to Waldport on Wednesday and Jim told us of his decision to stop dialysis. What courage.
We met Brad and Jo (and Sophie the wonder dog) who summer in Montana and winter in Arizona. Their Country Coach was in a near-by space. Sophie (or maybe it was Brad) had previously undergone neuro surgery to correct a pretty serious problem. Anyway, Sophie was taking Brad for a walk and we got to talking. Sophie is such a nice dog and Brad is OK too if you overlook the fact that he almost became a lawyer years ago. I don't know how Jo puts up with him but maybe I will be able to learn her secret. Somehow, we've become fast friends and we're invited to re-connect with them when we get to Arizona.
We've had pretty good visits with both mom and dad all week. Dad continues to be stressed out about how mom is doing but mom generally seems to be doing pretty well although she is frail. She tires easily but is in pretty good spirits and talks with Betty and I OK when we visit each day.

I discovered while here that the rough roads caused damaged the spring shackles on the trailer so I found a Dexter wet bolt kit replacement and made the repairs. Here's what our stock shackles looked like after one round trip to Alaska. Even though we drove slow over sections of rough road on the Alaska highway the holes in these shackles wore in an oval shape until they finally tore through.
I removed and inspected all the other shackles and several were worn until they would soon be the same as these. The Dexter wet bolt kit contains shackles that are about three times the thickness of the stock version. They should last much longer.
I found Toyo tires to match the new one purchased in Pr. George and bought 4 more to replace the aging Generals that were on this trailer. Tomorrow morning (Saturday) we’ll leave the RV park, have the new tires put on and meet up with Ed & Dianna who will be arriving in Eugene mid-day from Alabama. Jim and Judy plan to drive over from Waldport to pick them up. DRW
