Day 43 - (08/30) Portland, OR ... Day 5

Dick had the Trailblazer serviced at a Chevy dealership this morning. It was time for an oil change and to have a brake issue checked. The outcome was better and worse than expected. They found no problem with the ABS. They say the occasional ABS light and corresponding brake chatter is caused by trailer weight. This is first time we've experienced it in three years of towing. We hope their diagnosis wasn't just a "convenient answer". We'll see.

This was the first day we all got together for an evening meal. Well, almost all. Kenny couldn't make it. It's getting to be quite a group ... we're up to 9 now.

The family grows even more in a little over a week. Pat, Amy, Donna, Annabelle and Erin will be joining us from Columbus. That will be a very special family time, for sure!

We (Carol & Dick) went for a Swirl treat before bed. You make your own soft-serve sundae and pay for it by the ounce. It was fun and very busy, even though it was late and cold outside. We were definitely the oldest people there.
