Cover came today (Amazon).

Well travelled...

Nicely packaged (cardboard insert to protect the metal clips & unit inside a foam sleeve). No damage...

There's a recess in the center for a name brand sticker...

Installed. Done.

Decided to leave a little bit of "patina" on the top front left corner protector.

Before installing the two screws.

After installing the screws.

Just the right amount of patina left on the metal.

The very rusty part is the top front right side corner protector, before using steel wool on it.

Close-up showing the rough rusty surface...

Used steel wool to remove most of the rust.

It's a very tiring process using elbow grease...

The two top front corner protectors are done...

They had placed Christmas trees all along the pier.

Now they're gone...?

Eric came by in the afternoon to pick up some paperwork.

He brought some food... Nice of him.

Had the rice ball (really a triangle... call a "rice musubi") and the chicken karage (basically Japanese fried chicken) as part of dinner.

Pretty good!
