Time to Retire 2013

WE stopped at this small transients campground intending on staying one evening to get my med supply replenished.  Cheap at $9.87/night, we have electric, apples in the backyard and a view of the lake in front.  Best news for me is that I can view the U.S,

Nationals on our satellite.

Concerning my Meds:  What I need is lopressor, a heart med which is not abused and has no street value. It appears that the bureaucracy needs more time.  Because CVS and Wal-Mart will not play in the same sandbox due to bureaucratic regulations, I have gone to the local owner owned pharmacy for help.   15 minutes later and $8.35 lighter I walked out with a 30 day supply.  The Pharmacist did not want to spend an hour on the phone but was happy to take my empty bottle at proof that I used the med. Up here in farm country, common sense is not hard to find.

Some times having ‘good luck’ means finding bad things.  I found a bad cut on the sidewall of my already worn tires.  I started to mount the spare, my back entered a vote of spasm that put me down for the count.  AAA came to our rescue and finished the job.

Tuesday (The next day) found us 70 miles south with the ‘new’ tire going soft.  I refilled with my tiny compressor and limped into Okama, WA.  They have a very nice campground on the river in their fairground.  WE took 2 days and promptly went down to local Les Schwab where we impressed with the service and bought 4 proper LT truck tires.  I was very happy with the Firestone Transport Tires {45,000} we bought in Keene New Hampshire, they are not distributed here ;-(

Dinner was a baked potato stuffed with chili and a side of left over ribs that Annie cooked yesterday, it was great!

Tomorrow: Laundry
