Drove down to Eugene this afternoon to bring the folks at FTW Tuning the shock bushings. And as you can see from the above photo they were waiting on me. Right now it looks like they’ll be finished next week sometime. I’ll probably drive down on Friday in the Mini and pick up the OEM wheels with their 25-year old tires. Still not sure what I want to do with them, but I’m leaning towards mounting them on the New Miata.
I took this opportunity to snag three post office photos on the drive down. I might shoot for a couple three more on the way home.
- Albany – Albany is the 11th largest city in the state of Oregon with a population of over 56,000. (2/18/25)
- Corvallis – Corvallis is the home of Oregon State University and its Beaver sports teams, who because of the smaller enrollment usually fall to the Ducks of the larger University of Oregon. (2/18/25)
- Monroe – It was one of the largest cities in the state for many years. Since the construction of the Interstate 5 highway in the 1960s, the city has turned into a rural farming community. (2/18/25)
The first post office was in Albany and the second was in the home town of Oregon State University, Corvallis, and the last was in Monroe. Tonight I’m staying Eugene which is the home of the University of Oregon. The town just over the Willamette River from Eugene is the home of the Simpsons, Springfield.
