Looking For Old Van Rims and Some Shopping

Thursday November 3, 2022 Guerneville CA.

Shopping day

Not one of my favorite things to do, but one has to eat. I headed on over to the shopping centers about a half hour away from my place going to my parts place first. I need a new rim for my old van as the spare that we put on turned out to be a bit bent and wouldn’t balance properly.

Parts

Cindy always helps me out and is very good at what she does,………. But.

They don’t sell any rims, so I needed a plan B. She suggested Les Schwab for the rims. I need two more of their tires to match the ones I got on the trip to replace the flat ones as there was a bit of tire damage so they needed to be replaced.

I thought of calling them on the phone but decided to go down there in person to make sure I get the right rims, so I’ll do that soon.

Food

Next it was to Costco which was real busy. I got what I needed and got out of there.

Hardware

Then it was to the hardware store to get a new handle for one of my Pulaski’s. I wanted a plastic one and they had what I needed and I picked up a couple of boxes of hose clamps just to have some spares around.

No bar oil

Then I needed a gallon of chainsaw bar oil so I went to Walmart to get some, but couldn’t find any. I did find a new watch band and got that.

By now I’d had enough shopping so I made my way home and unloaded the car. I was tired out by now so I napped and that was my day.

Nice day.

Almost Got Wet On a Dirt Bike Ride With Barry

Wednesday November 2, 2022 Guerneville CA.

Dirt bike ride day

I was preparing to go shopping today at the shopping centers but when I looked out the window I saw Barry there with his truck and dirt bike so plans changed.

We were sitting around getting ready to go when my other brother Tom came by.

Start of crab season

Crab season opens so they were doing some planning to go out on boats in the ocean to get some fresh crab this week. I get too motion sick to go out in the ocean, so I don’t do it, but wish I could.powwow1

 

Dressing warm

It was rather cool today, so I got on extra shirts before Barry and I took off on a ride into the hills.

Big clouds

We rode on up to our rest spot at the mountain top. Some big clouds were coming in and it looked like we  might get a shower or two.sky2

This is our rest spot at the top of the mountain and we are taking a break.break3

 

Some of the clouds were getting pretty dark when we took off again.clouds4

 

Getting wet

It wasn’t long before we got caught in a light shower and were getting wet before we pulled under some trees to wait for the shower to stop which it did in about five minutes. Good thing as we didn’t have any rain gear on.trees5

 

Looking around

We rode up to this spot where we stopped to do some exploring around for a bit, on foot.exploring6

 

Cold today

Barry didn’t put on enough warm clothes so we cut it short and headed on home for the day.

Heavy rain showers

He took off for home and shortly, the real heavy rain showers started and continued off and on for the rest of the day. We would have gotten real wet from one of these showers so we quit right about the right time.

Nice and warm

I cooked up a big pot of Navy beans and stayed in the house for most of the day where it was nice and dry and warm.

While looking for today’s pictures this picture showed up for some reason of a camp spot on our recent trip. This was a nice spot.trip7

Nice day.
