Not from the road :(
Wild Thing is back in her spot and NOT on the road.
BUT!!!
The good news is that I found tires for her, and she should have her new “shoes” on Thursday – YEA!
I thought tires would be the challenging thing, but turns out the LOF and general engine service is proving more difficult to arrange.
I had a tentative appointment for all some weeks ago, but it was cancelled by service company … too many “Fleet” vehicles backlogged, and RVs are “not necessary”. All exacerbated by lack of personnel. I won’t even go there as it is beyond my comprehension.
Again, BUT!!! Tires were the most crucial impediment to hitting the road. I knew when I finished my last trip in 2015 that I was at the legal age limit for my tires, but knowing I would be off the road for some time due to Bear not being able to get in the RV … I did nothing. And then Emmett and then COVID and now scrambling. When I had issues getting any appointment, I decided to split the issues and try for tires.
Success.
I have a few more thoughts for the other service, but we’ll get the tires, get our work week in and regroup.
Meanwhile, the front porch plants are winding down…
Pretty!
This “side” had a run in with some critter(s) overnight, but have mostly recovered.
This side was not disturbed!
The mint (upper right) is doing well considering it started the season as sprigs after a challenging over-Wintering inside! I am not going to over-Winter anything this year. As soon as a hard frost is forecast, I will harvest what herbs I can and let Nature take her course.
As of this writing, we have two days of upper 70’s F forecast and then a cool front. The nights are wonderfully cool.
We are enjoying as much time outside as we can.
Maybe “not from the road” as I’d hoped, but making progress towards that :) !!

Hope you get everything organised soon. Your coleus are beautiful!
Yes, the coleus! They seem to do very well on the porch as long as nobody eats them :) Nothing bothered them until a few weeks ago. I have motion detectors that ring chimes in the house if anything approaches and then Emmett barks like Gunga Din and his whole army are outside … it was a sneaky deer or ??? I covered everything for a few nights and then forgot and so far they have not been bothered. Hopefully there are a few more weeks before it gets too cold for everything.
