Jimmy kept his word; as soon as the horn blew, he came over & installed the cover for the Home Theater. It looks a lot better having the cover. No photo @ this time.
Of course, we had to go into the customer's lounge & go through the Service Order for each & every fix we had. After paying the piper & attaching our tow car, & saying our good-byes, we left the Newell service center @ 8:45am following U.S.- 69 east to U.S.- 400 west to Wichita, Kansas. Then I-35 north to I-70 west to Goodland, Kansas ....arriving @ the Wal-Mart @ 5:40 pm.
We parked away from most of the activity & settled down for the evening.
Dinner: Tuna salad with chips & a peach. Goodland's temperature was still in the low 90's so we sat outside where we had a breeze & people watched for a good hr. Before it got too late, I made a short cell phone call to John B. & let him know that we were on the road again.
As the sky darkened, so did the chance of rain & sure enough, it rained & brought that temp down quite a bit for better sleeping.
