Further prep

    In Burns today.  Had the oil changed at Les Schwab.  $73 for a 7.3 diesel is very reasonable.  The same or better than Jiffy Lube and they don't try to upsell you.  I will stop there on our way out of town on Friday to have one of the trailer tires looked at as it is wearing on the inside.
    Yesterday we cleaned the inside of the truck.  It needed it.  The gravel roads are super dusty right now.  The truck needs a wash job badly, but it is a waste of time to do it if you have any gravel to drive on and out at Malheur we do.  Showers are in the forecast for Canby on Friday and Saturday so that may be the answer to the dusty truck. 
     I did get a glob of grease from the maintenance shop this morning and lubed the pivots on the fifth wheel hitch.  I also put the plywood platform on the rear seat of the truck back in so that Quammie has a flat area to nap and look out the window as we travel.
    R has a hair appointment so I am using the WIFI at the Burns Public Library.  We will turn in our temporary library card today.  For a $20 deposit they will make you a temporary card that grants you the privileges of a local.  When you return the card, you get your deposit back.  We refuse the refund.
