And the winner is...

 

"The rear passenger side tire on the Equinox!"  And the crowd goes wild!!

This morning, before the heat of the day really kicks in (it was 118º yesterday, but today is only forecast to be 113º), we had a few chores to deal with.  Joan started on the trash cans (garbage and recycle) yesterday, with a soak and scrub.  There is also a shared COP (Container O' Poop) that bagged cat and dog waste goes into.  You can imagine how that smells when being cooked in this heat.  Joan took it upon herself to give all that a rinse-scrub-rinse-soak-rinse.  She finished that up this morning.

All our vehicles have tire pressure monitors in them.  My morning chore was go air up the tires on 6 vehicles.  The only tire that was right where it was supposed to be was the rear passenger-side tire on the Equinox.  All the rest of the tires on 3 crossover SUVs and 3 bikes (one motorcycle and two scooters) needed to be topped off.  Of the two-wheel conveyances, the tire that was closest to the specified pressure was the rear tire on the CTX.  If anyone is keeping track, that is the tire that I plugged last year, after picking up a screw in it.

We have a really good small air compressor - a Worx brand.  Battery operated (interchangeable  batteries), with the clamp on nozzle and an automatic shut off when it gets to the correct pressure.  It would handle the higher pressure tires on the motorhome without breaking a sweat.  I couldn't say as much for me, as it was 91º when I went out at 7:00.

After feeding cats.  And for the record, I spend time with each of the Grand-kitties before and after feeding and giving meds.  The Grands miss their Mom and Dad, and are happy to have some human interaction.  And, of course, take a couple photos for "proof of life" for Steph.  They will be home tomorrow evening; they will all be happy to see each other.

Now, time to jump in the shower - I have music with Allan and the guys today.  Time to rock.

And a heads up for you.  Literally.  The full moon for August will happen around 1:00am tomorrow, so it will appear full tonight and tomorrow night.
