Space Needle

Our weekend is a bit of a blur, we have met visited with Jerry and Kathy, their son and daughter, grandson, friends and neighbors all wrapped up in a spectacular weekend of warm days and cool nights.  We expected the weather to be rainy and cool but that was not to be.

Catching up with my brother

Saturday we headed for the Issaquah salmon ladder and hatchery.  We are way too early for the Salmon run but the facilities and displays were interesting.

On the waterfront

Heading for the Seattle waterfront we ran smack into a marathon with 17,000 runners!  Lots of traffic delays but we did see some of the race and visited the Space Needle (but not the really long line to go to the top).

Pikes Place

We met Jill and Ron for lunch at Etta’s on Western Avenue before wandering through the Pike Place Market and watched the throwing of the fish.

Jammin’

Back at home, we had another great BBQ and Jerry and Richard played music for a while.

Sunday we had visits from Trevor and Tyler and a friend then tried to launch the boat but found the launch line to be very long – sunshine in Seattle brings out droves of boaters.  Then back home to a family cookout and lots of conversation and catching up on lives, loves and wishes.

Fixing the burgers

Then the RV refrigerator died! We had been having problems with operation on Propane but today, no cooling on any power source.

Removing the fridge and cleaning the rig

Monday, Jerry and I called RV dealers, service centers and parts warehouses – no service for weeks, no parts and no replacements!  I found a replacement refrigerator on Amazon,com and ordered it for Wednesday delivery.  We removed the original fridge and spent some time washing, waxing and cleaning the RV.

No miles on our rig
