Running Errands and Digging for a Chair

Sunday, March 6, 2016

Today, we got up and tried to get moving quickly. We had been asked by the dealership we sold the Mammoth to if we could locate the additional recliner that went on our coach. We knew it was in the storage unit, but we'd tried unsuccessfully to find it once before. 

So we decided we'd try again. It took us about 1.5 hours to remove a bunch of items, including a large amount of furniture, just to locate the chair and then repack the storage unit with the chair at the front. The dealership will send someone to get the chair with Tony tomorrow.

After that, we checked on our second unit and brought a few items back with us. We had enough time to kill before lunch, so we went to Costco to get paper products and such for the rally. We also ended up with a new, smaller desk chair for me, and a 4-set of Cutco steak knives. (We only have 4, somehow 4 others got misplaced when we moved.)

We then met Tony's parents and sister  for lunch at Luby's in Rockwall. It was very good food and you get a lot of it. We opted not to get dessert, and we were beyond full!

A side story:
The day before the Super Bowl, the 55" TV in the Rig went out. We could hear sound, but no picture. We tried all kinds of troubleshooting, but then called Heartlamd and arranged for a replacement to be shipped directly to us. It took a few weeks, but we got it. Sadly, it wasn't a quick exchange. The new TV was a newer model, which meant the soundbar bracket no longer fit. The wall mount was in a different location, and the components hooked to the opposite side of the TV. It took Tony quite a while, and a trip to the store to get longer cables, to get it all hooked up again! But hey, we have TV again!!!!
-----
After lunch we went to Best Buy to recycle the old tv that Heartland did not want back. Unfortunately, Best Buy would not take it since it was over 50". Oh well, I guess we can give it to the dealer to dispose of. 

After our running around we headed home, and took a nap. About 5:30 we invited Tori over since she wanted to see the new coach. She ended up taking my old office chair! Yay, glad it found a happy home. 

After she left we went into Terrell and ate at Braum's, got some fuel tank cleaner at O'Riley Auto Parts, then went to Bucee's for fuel. Since we will be driving to Quanah and then back to Cisco, we got fuel in the big tank, too. $1.87 for diesel! 

Whew! What a long day! Tomorrow we head to the dealership bright and early for our appt.
