Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 38.2 with heavy fog.
Just in case we get to go, which outfit are you working for? Not sure we are going to go. If the weather stays good, I want to take the boat to either Devils Lake or Hagg in the next few days and we have some free tickets to the RV show in Salem.
Sorry I didn't get back to you Jim. Had to work the job that pays the bills for a couple hours every AM then head to Portland so long long days. Wasn't on the internet much. For future reference I help out River Wild Boats out of Grants Pass. Owner/builder is a friend of mine so I work the Portland shows with him. Didn't sound like you made it but you didn't miss much. No real bargains but that didn't stop folks from spending money. Economy must be doing well based on what I saw.
Sorry to hear about your camper. Hope you can get that all worked out.

I should have figured it was River Wild. Duh! Your on line handle is kind of dead give away when one stops to think about it. I just wasn't making the jump or the association, Mac to Grants Pass.
No, we didn't make it up to that show. My fishing/hunting partner and his wife went on the opening day. He said that it didn't seem to be up to par of past years. Something was missing and he said he couldn't put his finger on what it was.
We went to the RV Show in Salem. Free Parking.
Probably as much ground space taken up to walk, but it was all RV's. We had free tickets courtesy of a dealership. That 'newer' (new to us) camper deal has fallen through for now due to the fire. We'll have to wait for settlements and in the meantime a reevaluation of exactly what we want to do or where we want to go with that idea.
We did see some fantastic mark downs for show prices there. The only outfit to have slide in campers though was the one I got the tickets from and they only brought the brand new 2018 Lance's. Still too much money and of course the two I like are really beyond the limits of what the pickup will handle, especially with the boat.
I think I found a replacement for a boat mechanic on 9th St in West Salem should you have something you can't or just don't want to handle. Pretty early to say for sure, but I took our boat over to them to remount the kicker motor plate lower where the long shaft would actually be long enough to get into the water.
Decided to have them do a complete service on it, more as an experiment than anything else. Dropped it off around noon. The next morning at 0900 they called and said it was ready. I couldn't believe the short turn around time. Too early to judge quality, but from what I saw there and what I saw them do with the kicker, I don't think I have anything to worry about.
