5000 miles on my truck. It is not new anymore.dirty and some bad scratches inside and out. Oh well.
Moved in
Man are my legs tired and my feet sore. The truck is almost unpacked. I just have the filing cabinet and an old computer to unload.
Katie made dinner tonight. I was going to but she started it when I was in the shower. She used that pan first. I made unsweet tea for her though. Two and a half gallons of it. That should last her the week I hope. Sweet tea for me tomorrow.
My fishes look happy. I got a new juice container so I can start the CO2 injection later this week. I also want to bake some bread. I ended up with the packets instead of the jar as they didn’t have the yeast I wanted.
It’s going to be a while before I get out of these boxes. I am not sure where I want to keep my bike. I am wanting to put my rackmount computer gear in the same closet as the washer and dryer out of convenience. I have to see what the temp and humidity are like.
Arrival
Well, I am here. It took long enough. I started yesterday at 8:30am by getting the truck serviced. why is it that it went in fine and came out with a power window not working?
It was raining from tropical whatever-it-was daryl. I started boxing stuff. Lunch, and then I started getting serious. A long story short, at 10:30 I had most everything outside and finally accepted that it wasn’t all going to fit. A trip to walmart to get one of those trailer hitch luggage racks was an excersize in futility. They had the rack, but not the reciever bar to make it work on my 1.25 inch reciever. Plan B – the biggest tub they have strapped to the roof. It worked. At 3am I was loaded. I pulled into my place at 7.
Now I am unloading.
I best get back to it.
Rainy day
It’s one of those days today. Yesterday was the first day of hurricane season and it’s been raining for two days straight. We need the rain, but on my last day of moving?
I had the first service this morning for my Escape. An hour and fourtyfive minutes. Bleh.
I just have a bunch of odds and ends, my computers, computer desk, clothes and so forth. I am hoping it will all fit in the truck. My chair will be the hard one. I guess the boxes, computers, and filing cabinet go in first and I then loose-pack around the chair.
If you want my new address drop me a line.
If my packing is going to get done, I best get to it.
My New Place
I am moving out of a million+ dollar mansion on the Intercoastal in Fort Lauderdale into this place and couldn’t be happier. I know people tend to bounce from one extreme to the opposite before they settle somewhere in the middle, and my new place is ON A DIRT ROAD!
I have moved and set up my two fish tanks in my new living room. The TV tank goes into the entertainment center, and the 29 gallon planted tank goes between the bedroom and bathroom doors. There is a lot of other stuff in the room as the bedroom is getting a new tile floor put in.
This is the first load of stuff I hauled up in my new truck. It’s amazing what can be crammed into a truck.
This is the same corner after the second load. Only about half the stuff got dropped here.
