Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else.
Sitting at Costco in Bend. Hit a chuck hole with the driver front in a construction zone on the Parkway (97). Don’t know why it wasn’t coned off. Anyway we’re now sitting at Costco in Bend. They are going to check to see why we have a leak in the tire. Tire warning system came on a couple of hours after the chuck hole incident. Aired the tire but most of the tire shops were closed. Had shopping to do at Costco so here we are. They can’t get the car in before 2100 so we are getting close now.

Good Tuesday morning Andy and....
Hello Wayne, Jim..
It's going to be a fun day in the rain, Hwy 101 is already closed to low profile vehicles and caution for others and high tide is at 7AM so the water is going to get worse.

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 47, overcast, wet but no rain here. Surprisingly there is skim ice on the pond this morning. With the warm temps and all the rain in the past two days I would have thought there would be no ice at all.
Made it home at 2250 last night. Chuck hole bent the rim so I have to see if Ford can get a matching rim.

Found out today that Ford / Lincoln thinks their wheels are made out of gold. Found some used ones on Ebay but they were scratched and marred up. Not worth taking the risk of getting one hat really isn't much cheaper than new and finding out it isn't a good or sound wheel.
