Allen, when you see this please call me. We need to see if we can get him running tomorrow!
I am about 60 miles west, but in no shape to help anyone tonight unless they were REAL close.
Whats wrong with his rig?

Thanks Don and Allen, we are setup to camp that was the plan for the weekend anyway.
The starter took a dump and I have weird voltage on the relay

Belated good evening all. Just back from doing chores. Working on getting more tuna canned. Have a "cannery" going out in the yard on the 2 burner propane camp stove.

The wheels I ordered yesterday through The Tire Factory got "unordered" somehow so they won't be in until Monday. Don't know what the person on the phone told the local store manager, but the store manager blew up and threw a conniption fit with whomever it was on the phone. Hope he doesn't get fired because he really let the person on the other end have it. Poor guy needs blood pressure meds worse than I do!

Good night Oregon. Last batch of Tuna in the pressure cookers. Have a cooker that is acting finicky so I have to watch it pretty close. Wouldn't want to put any Tuna on the Moon.

Chris, there is a auto parts store in Sisters, I believe.
Not sure where, a garage somewhere in there too, don't know the hours of operation though.
I am sitting 2 dogs today and putting the trans. back in the Ranger, or I would be up there in 1 hour.
