Shiny Truck, and Laundry

Sounds like an exciting day, doesn't it.

After stopping at Darin's before 8 a.m. and picking up his new Jeep, we drove the pick up to a detailer in Jackson, MO and left the truck there.  Oh my goodness, does the truck ever look better.  It is clean all over--inside and out--waxed and shiny, tires clean and conditioned. 

I then tackled the laundry, using the laundry mat here in the RV park.  The washer/dryers are fairly new, making short work of five loads of dirty clothes. 

While I was doing that Glen was at NAPA Auto Parts Store.  He had a discussion with the guy behind the counter on what to do with the new awning that fits over the front door of the motor home. 

I have previously reported that we found a new awning in a surplus store in Elkhart, IN.  The only problem is the color...the new is white.  It needs to be dark gray.  Glen learned that NAPA can computer match any color and put it into a shake and  spray can. 

Glen sanded the white surface, spray painted a primer, then two coats of the dark spray.  It isn't an exact match, but close enough.  Now, Darin and Glen will get it installed.

Darin also has an installation project.  The new Jeep doesn't have running boards.  Darin had ordered running boards from the Internet and they were delivered today. 

Of course having the truck all shiny and clean means the forecast for the rest of the week is....rain!
