picking up camper

It's a new day!!!



After an exhausting week of snow Trey and I were finally able to venture out of our home and travel south to Portland Or. In order to pick up a few essential items for our travels. We first stopped at Universal Cycle so Trey could pick up the new “Troy Lee Design” helmet.

Looks good Trey.

Ate lunch chicken and broccoli (delightful)

Then we went to Camper Outlet where our new dream home awaited us. We spent a couple hours there going over the do’s and don’t of the camper. I thought I would be bored and antsy but I felt quite intrigued and enthusiastic about the prospect of learning about an automobile. Took some pictures, thanked the guys there, and then parked in the lot to finish our lunch in the camper. Joey (the dog) was a little unsure about climbing metal stairs at first. But once he saw us both in there with food (food being the key word in this sentence) he hopped right in and began his usual very attentive begging (mooching) stance. Joey likes the camper but I don’t think he has put it together that we will be living in there for a while. I will say he does know something’s up seeing as how we have sold just about everything that we own.

I took some great video of Trey driving the camper. I put music to it. I’m working on my mad editing skills.

Speaking of mad skills. Trey drove the camper into Portland so we could pick up our bikes from Fat Tire Farm. I’m sure some of you have been there and know that FTF is in a neighborhood of narrow roads and street parking. He did great; only once did he have to go out of the way to get to the street that he wanted. Nice work Trey.

driving with the camper

For those of you wondering if I will ever be driving the camper the answer is…I’m going to pause there and tell you a little story.

Yesterday, I drove Trey and I down to Portland in my little Caliber. Now I am known to hit curbs from time to time (everyday) and yesterday was no exception to the rule. While leaving the gas station I pulled forward from the parking spot and drove up on to the concrete barrier. Trey yelled “stop Stop StoP” My thinking was I could just plow over it and Trey strongly disagreed with my choice so I put the car in reverse and back out of the spot at Trey’s request

. Trey’s words not mine, “YOU ARE NEVER GOING TO DRIVE THE CAMPER!!!!

I'm not complaning :)

Okay so back to Fat Tire Farm (the greatest bike shop in the PNW) We arrived there to pick up our three new bikes. 2 for Trey and 1 for me. Trey got the new Specialized Demo 8 II and the new Ibis Mojo HD. and I got the new Giant SX Reign.

Beautiful bikes!! Thanks to all the folks at FTF for working with us and giving us such an awesome deal. And here is a special shout out to “Patrick.” You rock and if you make it up to Whistler this summer you have a place to stay with us.

For any of you mountain bikers reading who have never been to FTF it is worth the drive!! Start your day at “Mother’s Bistro” and then head to the bike shop…
