Service Started - Day 1

We were out of our rig promptly at 6:30 and it was pulled in to a bay shortly thereafter. The service manager, Jack, had given the technician our email to go over with us. Of course, we had a few other items on our copy of the list.

While we were cooling our heels in the lounge, the seven of us decided to go out to breakfast to The Second Cup. This restaurant is a local hangout and there were a couple of large groups in there. We ate breakfast, chatted, and laughed for a couple of hours. We returned to the lounge where I spent time on the computer.

From Kris I learned that they replaced their hallway shades with blackout shades. Right now, we attach black felt to help block out the light as we like a dark room when we sleep. I checked with Donna to see what the cost for a new shade would be and she checked to see if they had one in stock. They did so we agreed to purchase it and they will install it. I also asked Donna if she had any rubber grommets for our stove. She scrounged around and found some for me. Yeah! We also asked Jack to give us a price for putting laminate in the hallway in front of the bathroom. This area is a heavy traffic area. Hopefully, it is not too expensive and we can get it done. I would love to have the laminate in our main living area but after hearing about the nightmare and expense Rick and Y experienced when they had laminate put in their living area; we will take a pass. I will get the carpet cleaned when we are in Custer.

When Kris and Ken returned from getting their hair cuts, Kris told us that the beautician mentioned that she knew that the seven of us had gone to breakfast at The Second Cup. We all had a good laugh . . . only in a small town.

All of us signed up to take the factory tour at 1:30 p.m. This tour was better than last years even though there wasn't a lot of rigs being built. We got to see a new model for 2010 that was being finished up.

Later in the evening, we toured each others rigs. Two of the floor plans we hadn't seen before. Then the six of us went to dinner at Duffy's. Jim had gone out for pizza so he declined our invitation to join us. We had lovely conversation and a lot of laughs. Both couples, Kris and Ken and Dick and Phyllis were high school sweethearts and they are both coming up on their 44th and 45th wedding anniversaries. Isn't that wonderful? John and I felt like novices and we will be married 28 years the end of May.
