Well, yesterday I traveled from Puyallup over the Snoqualmie Pass to the Tri Cities area where the Snake River and the Columbia River join and had lunch. I guess I should have invited Max but I was with other people. Next week I will change out #2 and #5 glow plugs in Martha as it looks like I will need all 5 plugs glowing in Washington. At the end of April I fly back to Ontario to pick up Mary who is getting new hoses, belts, plugs, etc. so she can make the trip too. Blew a tire outside Red Bluff, CA at 2:00am and AAA showed up 20 minutes later. Had to unload all my hardware and tools from the trunk so they could get to the spare - that was worse that the blow out. Took the car to Walmart the next day for a new tire, and they replaced my very good right front tire, leaving my blown out tire in the trunk (or boot of you wish). I caught it one hour later, and miraculously they said the used tire truck had just collected all of the old tires and taken them to Tire Heaven. After some haggling and finger pointing I got another (discounted) tire. Can hardly wait to get all the tools and parts unloaded from both cars so I can see what I have and store them properly.
