    only about 80mi. between port > berg.
    If it wasn't work related, I would be in berg.
    Jafo didn't see that I saw him last week in Corvallis. That's 3 times I've seen his rig without meeting.
    Techy; did you get your window problem taken care of?
    I do travel to Portland alot, it would be a small detour to Newberg.

    I've fixed my window (Up/down) problem with silicon spray and healthy cleaning, Door handle (disconnected from rod) problem with new plastic piece, replaced my fuel injector O rings, and some other maintenance stuff. I still want to change out some more fluids and find a better glue to hold my door/window piller gasket together (it came apart a month or so after I glued it). Actually masking tape has done wonders, but you gotta replace it once in a while so it doesn't get gooey! 8^) ) Thanks, I think I'm good, at least for now (But I know who to call!).
    If you don't first THINK THINK, you could end up in deep DO DO!

    Techy, I am still planning on coming down on Friday afternoon, but it is dependent on weather which long range for Newberg ain't so hot. Any decent motels there?
    Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace... Never mind "Paris to Dakar", the VehiCROSS looks ready for the Martian desert.

    Yeah, what's up with that weather forcast? Let's see if the weatherman can roll the dice and get us another one!
    As for Motels; The Travelodge and the Shilo are both a good bet. The Town & Country is a small motel (maybe 10units), but might be nice?? Also there are a number of bed and breakfast places around this area. I can get ya #'s and such if you need. If it wasn't for the mess/disaster I have over here, I could put ya up for the night. Maybe someday I'll get my act together.

    It'll be a rare occurance if it rains on that day. They choose it because it has only rained like 3times in the last 15years or something like that, but still no guarantee. Gas was $3.03 on Friday! (It dropped like .20 in 3days)

    Speaking of Oregon and gasoline...

    ...why do they still insist on pumping your gas for you? The first time I ever drove through, I started pumping my own fuel and the attendant just about had a heart attack.

    This is 2007, and frankly it's kind of creepy that they're still holding on to that tradition.
