A day at LaMesa

LaMesa is our RV dealer where we picked up the new little Navion. Yesterday we arrived there at 8:00 to get the valve stems replaced. Xavier was in charge of taking her to the tire place, where they had to put something solid into the tires so that the steel valve stems would go.

Hours later, we found out that they didn't have the part that they would need, but they were going to do something else. Another few hours later, they didn't have it ready. Another hour or two, and it would be back in half an hour. Finally at about 3, we saw her pull in. And the valve stems were not done yet. Ryan showed us what they'd done, and it was not much. But I will still will be able to check the air. It won't be as slick as it was with my beautiful RealWheels, but it'll work. Oh well.

While we were waiting, we walked over to Beaudry and toured their campground. Then we went to Camping World and bought a couple more things -- a nice folding dish drainer and an ice cube tray, so the day was not a total loss.

Off to AAA then for our maps for the journey! They had everything we wanted.

We made it back and got parked just in time to leave for the Cattletown all-you-can-eat Thank-God-it's-Cod. There were, I believe, 20 of us there, and we were a raucous lot! We had ridden with Al, Donna, Mike, and Carol, so we enjoyed some margaritas!
