Lots Of Hot Air

While I was envisioning calling 911, surgeries and hospital hair, it thankfully never happened.  My pulled muscle is getting better, in spite of reaching for my phone 396 times yesterday.  It is OH so boring to sit on the couch, but I did my very best impression of a rock and today it's even better.  That's a good thing since I have to pack.  That was just the weirdest place to pull a muscle ... right at the belt line.  

I did make it down to the water station to pick up my camera.  This sweet little quail was a thirsty gal.  One of these days I'll leave it up during daylight hours just to see who else shows up.

 Cooper bugged me most of the morning, so I finally relented and went for a short walk up the hill.  

He's King of the Road, walking MUCH faster than I.  Speed it up Mom ... I'm on a mission to water every rock I see!!  When we return, he literally drags his feet, pulls hard and heads straight down the trail to the water station.  SO many new smells there.

This was not long after Kitty Kitty had wandered through, leaving those awful KITTY smells behind.  There was no dragging him away from THIS!

I'm not sure how he distinguishes between quail, kitty and coyote with a little javelina thrown in for good measure.  There was lots of hot air escaping from both of us upon our return to the house.

Next up .. more hot air.  It was time for that chore I never like.  Making sure the tires have air.  They are relatively new, so I'm not too worried, but had to make the rounds twice.  Why can't they make everything work the same?  It took me twice around the truck and the trailer because I discovered I was reading the gauge wrong as I was filling it.  Nope ... fill, let go and THEN read the gauge.  It a good thing it's fairly lightweight.  

Which brings me to my next question, which I know the answer to .... look on the tires.  What air pressure do you fifth wheel (or bumper pull) guys use in your tires?  It says somewhere on the tire, but it's so difficult to read, not to mention it says empty or weight.  I assume that means loaded with all your stuff??  I'm thinking I need to revisit those tires today.

By the way, did I mention I've gotten a few BINGO calls?  It seems someone, somehow, completely deleted the brain from the Infernal Machine.  There wasn't much I could do being this far away.  After a few long conversations while they tried to figure out every purchase using a calculator, one of the Castle Knights stepped up and volunteered to try and reprogram the entire thing.  

Apparently they got it going the next week, but are awaiting my return for a break from "that which tries to defeat you at every step"!  The Infernal Machine strikes again!!

I'll be packing today and trying to squeeze every little thing I can into that tiny freezer!!
