May 25th: This morning, we finally got the paperwork needed to get the truck & RV tagged; Holland has been worrying about that. And, the bike rack, and extra electric cord needed for the generator arrived by UPS this evening (the generator is waiting for us at Warrenton's Home Depot Store) :-)
Currently, we are still working on clearing out the Longview Storage Unit (I do NOT want to pay another month's rent!), settling accounts from our previous home (bills due from that address), and making time to keep our Wednesday {Our Time} dates to keep our relationship from skidding off track: we are still newlyweds; married only 4-1/2 months, this month 🥰
May 26th: Instead of driving to the St. Helens DMV and dealing with the harpy there, we drove to Astoria to get the 4x & RV tagged so they are street legal.
Holland had done work in Astoria, and he pointed out various buildings he and his brothers had contracted to work on - a few buildings I was not familiar with … but I had been in the Maritime Museum many, many times - and the interior work is top-notch. I was impressed.
It took us half a hour to find the DMV (the streets do not follow in Astoria - 7th Street picked up again, on the backside of the OUTSKIRTS of Astoria) … where we were told we would have to pay excise tax on the RV - and of course, the DMV does not have that paperwork; we have to go online to get it, THEN take it back to the DMV to get the RV tagged: so, we will have been taxed TWICE for the RV (once in WV - and now, in OR) :-(
We did get our OR Driver's License, though: for another whopping $120.
All this "saving $$$$" is costing us an awful LOT of moolah!
Then, we drove to Warrenton, to get the Generator; Holland will need helps to get that thing in place: it's is very h.e.a.v.y.
We at lunch at DQ, drove over the Astoria-Megler Bridge; and enjoyed a leisurely drive back home, via Ocean Beach Highway, "because you haven't had a long drive out-of-house, in a while Baby." This long loop drive is a concession - Holland is in pain with intense shoulder pain, and he told me this morning that he has decided to wean himself off his pain killing meds, so he does not have to be a slave to it. This choice is also a concession move - he is looking into a natural alternative to Vicodin - he's tried alternative substitutes and they just made him violently sick. I don't think there is a natural alternative: I'm pretty sure a healing from Yeshua will be his only alternative.
Bob was using Vicodin for severe back pain, when we started dating in 1974: I am familiar with the process.
And we stopped by the Longview Storage Unit, to load up the back end of the truck.
It was the last load - YIPPIE!
I got every boxed thing we brought home this afternoon, put away :-)
