October 22-27, 2018 Eugene, Oregon

Another sunny 72 degree day. The bus is still being worked on.

John has the almost full moon in his hand. Love long and prosper. We had dinner with Leslie and Scott at the Plank Brewery. Leslie got another birthday season complimentary dessert. 

The coach is still in the shop. Most everything we wanted done is done. They discovered that the oil pan needs replacing when they had it on the lift. And the passenger chair is out getting the wires fixed so that the foot rest will work again.  

John got new tires on the car. When the put the tires on they discovered that three of the rims were bent, so we got rad looking new rims. When they are aligning it they discovered that the rear end needs parts since it would not align. Seems never ending. We got our absentee ballots and voted today. 

Halloween decorations. Jack o lantern lights.  I finally finished the masterpiece. It got huge. 13 x 13 x 2 inches. I used needles I dyed-purple, navy blue, teal, and scarlet. The center is a piece of glass I fused and the beads are glass beads I purchased. 


This is what the basket looks like with light behind it. The glass shows up real well and the white beads are actually synthetic moon stones, so they are translucent.  These cool clouds before sunset dissipated before sunset colors caught them.   

Friday night we went out to hear great music at Dark and Stormy in Springfield. Great show, at the end the venue stiffed the artists , they said not enough people showed up for them to pay them. Pretty lame. Foggy rainy and cool. 60s. Scott built the Hip-Hop House in their backyard for Leslie to use as her massage studio. I got a great massage yesterday. John is getting one now. It was predicted to rain all day, but the sun came out so I sat on the deck and worked on the latest masterpiece.   
  
Scott was inside with his drum set. In the afternoon we went to Dorris ranch a historic filbert orchard that is now a park. We filled a bag with filberts and then hiked along the Willamette river in fall colors.  

Leslie on the trail. Fall colors. 
Beautiful fall colors along the trail.

 John, Leslie and Scott on the trail. Laurie and Steve stopped by on their way to a costume party to show off their costumes.  

The current new masterpiece. It has a piece of my glass in the center with glass beads. So far so good. Our big bag of filberts and holly berries.
