Bad news, good news, it more or less evens out

There isn't much to report on Part Dos of the battle to get my refund.

The bad news is I still haven't gotten the refund check.
     The good news is the creative fiction, and I love a good story, told to explain it. When was the last time anyone forgot to put a stamp on an envelope?

The bad news is I still haven't gotten the refund check.
     The good news is it's supposed to be here via Priority Mail today.

The bad news is I can't hold my breath all that long. 
     The good news is... Well, I don't have any good news to counter that one.

The bad news is I spent an uncomfortable amount of money yesterday.
     The good news is I got some cool gear for the RV: a low tech washing machine, a higher tech dryer, an average tech slow cooker, a talking tire gauge, and an anti-suicide power-checker thing.

See how things even out? A talking tire gauge is almost good enough to wipe out the missing refund.

I just learned about the power line monitor. Who knew that I could fry myself if I plugged in the RV's power supply to an incorrectly wired outlet? I suppose I'll learn about all of this as time goes by, but something like that would flatten the learning curve in a flash. Ha ha. Pun intended. Andy Baird is a full-timer who's generous with all kinds of RVing information and I read about this problem there, as well some of the gear that's shipping as we speak.
