The rain and cold have returned.
We started the day by resuming our search for the dump site. We really didn't have much choice. It turned out to be about 6 miles away at Bill's RV Storage in the town of Sibley. Not exactly convenient, but apparently the owner, Rick(?), is a Moose and only charges $5 for folks camping in the lodge parking lot.
We also ended the day in the RV driving out to Camping World to see about having an awning installed.
In between was a lot of shopping that left me needing a nap.
While the used RV was a real bargain, the downside was that it was used. And in the case of the dinette seat cushions, abused. We had thought we could get them replaced, but the business model of RV remodelers seems to assume that their customers are all rock stars or hedge fund managers who want to gut the old bus and start all over from scratch. "No job too small" is definitely not their motto.
Enter Nancy's sister JoAnn. She took one look at the cushions and said, "I can fix those. All I need is . . ." Hence, the shopping. It took less than $100 in supplies and about an hour of work and the cushions were almost as good as new; and the best part, she let me nap while she did it.
