An Adventure In Moving
At least thats what it says on the side of the U-Haul trucks that ply the nations highways with less than experienced drivers at the wheel.

Last weekend my family and I moved into our new house. The road getting to the move was rather rocky at best since I couldn't find a truck anywhere and what I could find was dreadfully inadequate. A per chance phone call from the Disaster Chairperson at the Red Cross got me the RC van and trailer.
The next step was to wrangle some help, not an easy task on the weekend before the big holiday, it began to look as though it would only be me, my *ahem* Son-In-Law and an Amateur Radio Aquaintance. Not much in the way of help until the *ahem* Son-In-Law said he had a friend who would help and help this dude did he lifted the washing machine by himself, I just stood there in shock.

Anyway, with the Dodge van and trailer we did the move in three trips. I kept saying I wanted to use the 26' dump wagon I pull, just load everything in, back it up the driveway and dump it out, whatever didn't break would go in the house. The XYL was not amused at all.
The one thing I will admit I did have one Hell of a time backing the trailer in the driveway, the DC just laughed and said I can back a 53' trailer around a corner in a tight alley but still can't back a small single axle trailer in a driveway. What could I say!!!

We did the right thing by feeding our help and offered a small token of our appreciation but all declined by saying this is what friends are for, can't add much more to that!!!

Well, we've been in our new house for a week and it is now beginning to feel like it's our home, 23 years too late but it was worth the struggle.
Christmas is a little slim this year but this is the present I owed my wife for such a long time....

And to all a Merry and a Happy and may 2005 be a bright year for all....

It's no secret that I have a little CAD crush on you Doc, but let me say I'm very proud for you and yours. What a wonderful present!

DO I MISS ANY OF THIS????

A question I was asked just the other day:

Stay tuned gang, a tale of what an EX-Long haulers road trip was like...

Imagine, if you will, three people, a dog and a bright RED Volkswagen.....

As the clock ticks closer to 2005

Congrats on the new home Doc. We're working toward the same thing, and I know the struggle.
