Its Thursday and we are on the road again. The turbo diesel engine is awesome. Pulls that trailer with lots of muscle to spare. We tune in the Ipod and start listening to the unabridged version of "Jungle Book". The various movies by that name do not resemble the book very well. Audio books work very nicely on the Ipod and I have a free converter that converts the .mp3 files that are so common to the handier .m4A type audio book format. When in this format, the ipod remembers where it left off in the book, very handy. I converted the 5 year Thru the Bible series to this format and you can download it with permission at www.drjvernonmcgee.com
The day went well. We scurried along, finding a few geocaches along the way and arrived at Susie's mother's house about 7:30 PM. Missed dinner, but we had already grabbed a snack at Costco before heading to her house. We visited with her for a short while and then headed over to Susie's sister's house to visit with Kathy and Jim and spend the night. The temperature took another sharp drop
and it was windy and the neighborhood was noisy, but we slept well. The WX radio said the big storm would hit around 4 PM on Friday and we planned to scoot south to miss it....but we would have to go through some high desert terrain to do so.
The Cat is fine. She had one panic attack on the first night when we first camped at Walmart on monday. She thought she was home and wanted out of the trailer so when I opened the door she bolted out in a mad dash. Sudden she realized she was in an alien zone and dove for the cover of the car. When Holly is outside it is almost impossible to catch her. Shoot, you can hardly touch here anyway. She is just one of those mean, untouchable cats. Well, she was so scared, that when she saw me set the pet carrier down by the car, she came right over and humbly scooted right in. She has been a different kitty ever since. All the pride and snootyness is gone and she quitely sits in the cozy trailer and refuses to go near the door. During the day she rides in the pet carrier and behaves nicely.
