First, a Happy and Healthy Rosh Hashanah (New Year) to all our family and friends.
Last post I mentioned the problem with the new tires. The replacement rim arrived. I immediately went to Les Schwab and had them put the new rim on and balance the tire. Cost $53. Result, same problem, there is a vibration coming from the rear that starts around 40 MPH. Back we go to Les Schwab. This time they jack up the rear end and spin the tires. You can see that they are wobbling. So now we are waiting for replacement tires for all four rear wheels. I know the rim was bent. I was told that before with the old tires, but they did not vibrate. Wednesday the tires are going to be in. We shall see.
Last week we went to Fort Vancouver. Fort Vancouver was not a military Fort but the Northeast headquarters for the Hudson Bay Company. The HBC, which still exists today, was the equivalent of a multinational corporation of today. It was originally formed in 1670.
That’s a few years before I was born. 
It’s primary means of currency was the beaver pelt. Everything was traded with the equivalent worth of the beaver pelt.
The next day we we went to the Pearson Air Museum, which is on the same grounds as Fort Vancouver. The Pearson Air Museum is attached to the Pearson Field which is the second oldest airport in the US.
Next we took a ride along the Columbia Gorge. We may go back there tomorrow so I will wait to post any pictures until the next blog.
On Saturday we took a ride to the Evergreen Air and Space Museum. It is home of the Spruce Goose. The Howard Hughes creation that flew one test run and never flew again. The museum houses a great collation of WW I, WW II, all the way up to modern day jet and commercial airplanes.
Happy Anniversary to Judi & Vic
Happy Anniversary to Caroline & Andrew
Happy Birthday to Jonathan
Well that’s all for now folks. As usual.
Life is Still Great on the Roan Road…
