On 18 Dec, a very large cat showed up at our house. It was late and cold, and he looked in the door and made it clear he wanted inside. Well, since we have two cats already and he was a stranger, we...

Spotacus has thrown up four times today. He does insist on coming back inside right after he eats grass, and then he wants to be real affectionate. Great. Kitty barf breath in my face. Sigh.
Spent most of yesterday morning figuring out all the rules for bringing Spotacus with us on The Scottish Trip. Canada's no sweat - rabies certificate. Getting into US state number 49 isn't. Literally the last thing we'll do before departure here will be to get him into the vet for an exam, then the vet has to fill out a health certificate with entries appropriate for importation of commercial animals, not vacationing critters who will go home with the same people who brung 'em. Sheesh. And then it's only good for 30 days after issuance, so taking a full three weeks to get there will be kind of pushing it. At least going home won't be an issue.
We are slowly loading the Forza. Amazing how much stuff was squirreled away on L'Andante that I do not think we need now. With a washer/dryer, two sets of sheets/towels/etc is more than enough. A week's worth of underwear (ok, two weeks) shouldn't take up much space, leaving room for sweaters, sweatshirts, and assorted other layers for the many weather patterns we'll encounter. The only hanging clothes I'm taking are coats, so I'll be putting jeans, shorts, tee shirts, etc. into drawers and/or plastic storage we can stack on either side of the double wardrobe. They'll help hold the hanging clothes in place, too.
WLToo is working on a modification to our existing Gen-Turi. This generator exhaust is bigger than the current Gen-Turi pipe. He's also getting some suction cup fasteners, since we definitely don't want it permanently mounted with a front generator...
Well, I need a bit of lunch. The ropa vieja in the crockpot is not ready yet and I'm very hungry. Later, y'all.
