Day 14 -Another Day Off?

 All we had to do on Tuesday was a short 60-mile hop from Boise, Idaho into Ontario, Oregon.  A little extra was added to add interest including lunch at The Riverside Pub on the banks of the Payette River.  https://lhriversiderestaurant.com/  This proved to be what the locals said, the best eatery in the area.  We chose to gather on the covered patio.  This was just such an agreeable place to spend time, a luxury that was simply not in the cards until this moment.  Up to now, it has been rush, rush, rush to stay on schedule.  



Payette River Playtime.  Richard and Chris Roberts compete in beanbag tossing. 

That's me with Chris and Helen and Ian.  
All the food we ordered was spectacular.

At the hotel, the work also proved to be light.  Chris' Shadow had been acting up on a couple of fronts - evil handling and hard starting.  In the preliminary inspection, Scooter noticed the magneto points had closed up.  Instead of a magneto swap, a simple adjustment had it purring again on one kick.  A tweak to the steering head bearing restored the steering.  Alas, the stiffness of the Girdraulic forks remained an issue.  More tomorrow on that.
