It's kind of sad watching Mama tonight as she just lays around. You can tell she doesn't feel well as she won't even wag her tail. When she doesn't come into the family room with us you know something is wrong. Hobo is keeping her company as she tries to comfort Mama. Today Mama stayed in the bedroom a lot sleeping on Peaches' bed. I set up another kennel crate and put it in the bedroom for Mama so she can stay where ever she wants.
The weather is going to turn cold again with the possibility of snow in the North Georgia Mountains Sunday or Monday night. Sue bought a bike rack for the camper so I put in together and installed it yesterday. I had to move the spare tire and the EZ Carrier for the sewer hose so I could put the rack on, but it wasn't a big deal, just kept me busy and out of trouble.
The trip to New Mexico is just a little over a month away so I have started getting ready for the big adventure. Dan and I are going to meet at a KOA just outside Albuquerque for an overnight stay on the 14th before going on to the rally the next morning. I am going to put new tires on the truck before leaving as the ones on it are showing wear and the side walls are cracking after four years of use.
I didn't keep the air pressure up the the recommended 80 pounds but ran them at 65 pounds and the tires didn't last as long as I would have liked for them to. So now I pay the price of a new set of tires so I could ride in comfort for 43,000 miles. At the price of these tires I won't do that again.
Sue went with me this afternoon to feed the cats and she had a good time petting and talking with them. I sure hope something good comes up for them as they deserve a nice place to call home. Okay, let me go and keep Mama company for a while so she doesn't get lonely. Talk with you later.
