West Linn

Got to West Linn monday about 3:30pm and fix one bus defroster, only had about 6 or 7 buses out of service. Tuesday I got there about 7 am and started closing out RO and setting up inspections for the next day and see what need to do to get the OOS list witted down.
It rains a lot in West Linn, it east part of Portland, It rain 4 out of the 4 days I was there.
Drove to old town portland and went the Powls Book store and pick up to books. Linny
Seekits The End ( last book of the series of 13 books) I finsh book 12 about a year ago and have not been able to get the book from the Libbary, I did have it on hold for six monthes than I think the book was lost after that, I may gave this book the the Libbary after i finsh reading it. Another book I pick up on the cleans rack was The 5 peaple you will meet in Heaven, look interesting.
I did find 10 cache total the whole time I was up there. One cache was by the river and it was dark by the time I got there and so I could not see very will. I did not find the cache but the beaver in the water about 4 of them would slapp there tail every time I came near the water, scary me each time. I later read that the cache was under water because of the high rain fall and flooding in the area.
The shop is realy to small for what there trying to do, 2 bay with over a 100 buses and only 3 mechanic, need one more mech and one more bay, two would be better.
By friday I had toe OOS list down to 3 buss and one was in the dealer being repaired, and other need to go to deal for repairs.
Left friday about 3:30 and head to Springfield to fix Sam/Emly car, need to install new rotors on the front of the van there have. But I stop in Canby for pick up 4 caches and then onto Springfield, got there about 7:30 and had the rotor changed by 8:30 and left about 9:00 or so after eating. I got so sleepy I stopped at rest stop and slept about 30 minute and made it more about 1:15 am and was in bed after a bath about 1:30.
I get togo back for thursday and friday in West Linn.
