Preparing for departure

A rainy weekend reminded us that we were still on the Oregon coast so we spent a lot of time puttering around the house and planning our return to California. Jim has a break from work this week so we've set a departure date for Thursday. Yesterday we decided to take the car in for an oil change and to have it checked out for our trip. True to our experience up here we were able to get it in on the same day. They changed our oil, looked it over, found nothing needing attention and gave us a complimentary car wash for less than $30.00. Gotta love it!
