Then drove out to R & R RV in Liberty Lake to pick up Forry's new dishwasher and get a diode for the new brake system he is putting into the Toad. Hadn't realized that they were going to be closed tomorrow for the Labor Day weekend, so it's a good thing we went in today to pick it up. Made a stop at the AT&T store near the Valley Mall to purchase a car charger for my iPhone.
From there to Costco to fill the Toad with gas ($2.79/gal.) and stock up again on fruits and vegetables. And of course, Forry got his Polish dog with sauerkraut for lunch so he was happy. Made a quick stop at Home Depot so Forry could get some small brushes, then stopped at the recycle place to get rid of all of our plastic and glass bottles, newspapers, aluminum cans and cardboard. From there we headed back to Ritzville and got to the post office in time to pick up the box of snail mail that Mary Mae had sent on Monday. Forry even stopped at Ritzville's Radio Shack to get a multiple plug-in for the car so that I can charge my iPhone and still keep the GPS unit on.
We debated a bit when we got home where on the counter to put the new dishwasher. I thought it should sit on the left end of the counter, but Forry wanted it sort of in the middle. It will cover about half of the garbage chute, but we usually keep the cover on it halfway anyway. This way there will still be a bit of room on the left for the coffee grinder and the French press coffee pot.
It's a Vesta, which seemed to have the best reviews (though there weren't very many) when we checked on the Internet. It's supposed to do four place settings and it looks like we should be able to get by with just one load a day. We're going to have to make a quick trip into town in the morning. As we suspected, the kitchen sink faucet is not going to work with the quick release on the dishwasher hose. And would you believe, there was NO sample dishwasher soap included and I didn't think to pick any up today...
