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 &#8230; 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have a few more thoughts for the other service, but we&#8217;ll get the tires, get our work week in and regroup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, the front porch plants are winding down&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Trip3141.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Trip3141.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Trip3141-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Trip3141-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Trip3141-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Trip3141-40x40.jpg 40w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> Pretty!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"855\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Trip3142.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Trip3142.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Trip3142-300x285.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Trip3142-150x143.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Trip3142-768x730.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Trip3142-42x40.jpg 42w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This &#8220;side&#8221; had a run in with some critter(s) overnight, but have mostly recovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Trip3143.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Trip3143.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Trip3143-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Trip3143-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Trip3143-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.beardogco.com\/theroadhome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Trip3143-40x40.jpg 40w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This side was not disturbed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mint (upper right) is doing well considering it started the season as sprigs after a challenging over-Wintering inside!
