To Reno We Will Go
Yesterday we took the Rolling Stone to Reno to get a small living Christmas tree and to do some shopping. Ordinarily, we would rather not do this on a Saturday afternoon, but our options were constrained. Also, as the RV isn't that maneuverable, it limits some of the places we can go. For that matter, while it's not obvious, the cargo capacity of the RV is less than that of the Astro, because while the RV has a lot more cube, it's mostly full of appliances and a bed. Anyway, we got the little tree (larger than past years, as we couldn't find a smaller one) and got most, but not all of the shopping done before heading home.
It's unclear how long that the Astro will be in for repairs. Until then, we have to use the RV as a runabout, a job for which it is ill suited. Today, I went and refueled the rear gas tank, which holds 20 gallons and was nearly empty. The 9.8 miles/gallon (Yerrington-Fernley-Reno-Fernley plus local errands) was actually pretty good for the RV, but nonetheless it does mean we want to limit trips.
I had ambitions for several complex things this weekend, but in the end I spent so much time sleeping that I didn't have time to work on most of them. Maybe this week.
