We shared the seafood platter at the Beachcombers Pub and Grill. We choose this restaurant because it overlooked the marina and we could sit out on the sunny patio. I've been craving a spicy Bloody Mary made with clam juice. The waitress made my drink from scratch with a nice fresh stalk of celery, cocktail onions and green olives. It was delicious. The seafood platter was all beer batter fried with an assortment of calamari, shrimp and razor clams. It was perfect, light, crispy and not greasy.

After our snack we walked around town and bought some taffy for Denis and a small dish of Oregon Trail ice cream for me. I've been keeping my eyes open for a quality pair of walking sneakers because the last pair I bought hurt my feet and Denis was sick of hearing about how my feet hurt every time I wore them so he threw them away. We stopped at a store called On Your Feet With A Splash that carried Merrell, Keen and Teva. The sales person brought out every size 7-7 1/2 she had in stock for me to try on. What an experience! I tried on six different makes and styles. She was so patient and knowledgeable. The winning pair was TevaSphere. The manufacturer describes this shoe as a revolution on the trail -- the TeveSphere's spherical heel and support pods give you the natural motion benefits of being barefoot with the comfort and stability of a tradition shoe. The sales person bought a pair hoping it would relieve the pain in her knee and it did. I have the same problem and hope it works for me. The shoes were pretty expensive but I figure it's a lot less than knee surgery.
We are still hanging around here because the parts to fix the water pump and exhaust manifolds have not yet arrived. They tell us Workhorse parts are difficult to get since the company shut down. I don't know!
Thanks for stopping in. I'll post the pictures tomorrow.
Hope your new shoes work out well for you, and the parts come in soon to repair your coach.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with getting your parts. It took us almost two months to get a rear leaf spring from Workhorse when they were in business. Is there some reason why you can't get the parts from a Chevy dealer? Water pumps aren't really a Workhorse part. That comes from Jim who worked for Chevy for 50 years.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestion. I guess the problem is finding Workhorse parts. We're looking into replacing the Workhorse exhaust manifolds with Banks.
DeleteI love my Keens. That is a cute cartoon.
ReplyDeleteI am going to check out those shoes. They sound great! So sorry you are "stuck". Hope those parts come in soon. We have been in Lincoln City since Monday. Taking lots of walks on the beach, shopping and eating lots of fish. We head for Cannon Beach on Friday. Hasn't the weather been wonderful? Enjoy.......
ReplyDeleteI wore my Tevas all day yesterday and this morning my knee, hips and neck feel like I had a chiropractic adjustment (you know that achy feeling your get after a good adjustment). I wore them again today. Let's see how I feel tomorrow.
DeleteYes, we need to enjoy the sunny weather because I heard rain is coming soon.
