Today we drove to Vacaville to go to the Camping World store and get a cost estimate for replacing the fabric on our main awning and one of the slide toppers. The main awning isn't to bad yet but the slide topper cover is ready to fall apart. The estimate was a little over a thousand dollars. They want around $190 for the fabric for the slide topper. I think I can find the same material for less money and replace it myself.
Vacaville is about an hours drive from here, toward Sacramento. Most of it was a scenic drive. We had lunch at an oriental buffet. The place was nice. The food was okay, not exceptional, and the price was great. Our check was only $14.50.
Kathy has caught the cold I had a few days ago and it isn't fun. My nose ran constantly and so is hers. She still just keeps plugging along. She made scalloped potatoes for supper, something Drew had suggested. After we had supper I helped him with some water line modifications. I think all the water line leaks are now fixed. The shower drain still leaks a little and water still gets in behind one of the shower controls and leaks into the wall. We still have to fix those but the number of drip catching cans in the basement has been drastically reduced.
She and I, mostly her, attacked the pile of tree limbs I had trimmed this afternoon. The only way to get rid of them is to cut them up into small pieces that fit in the trash can that has compostable material or in large paper bags that can only contain lawn/yard debris. (You have to have three different garbage cans here. One for recyclable material, one for compostable material and a third for anything that isn't supposed to go in one of the other two. On top of that you have to take things like light bulbs to a hazardous waste facility.) Trash day is Friday so we wanted to get the green (compostable) can full.
Good night to all and may God bless you and yours.
