Looks like a move south is in my future!
I hear ya's.... Had to move everything out of the old house into storage units, as the first bank I dealt with decided **** sex with me would be good...... (I sure didn't think so....) Then, had to move everything from the storage units to the new house once I found a friendlier bank.... that sucked. I have MS to begin with, so, I only have a few good hours of heavy labor per day.... and having to force myself to go ten and twelve hours for a couple days in a row, twice..... pretty much did me in for about a week. Each time.... I have gotten kinda used to walking upright..... and not having to be spoon fed. I rather liked it. Really pisses me off when I am basically a lump on a log.
Getting old is a real bitch, ain't it? When we moved in 2007 I described it as feeling like I'd been beaten with a bat. When we moved in 2009 I described it as being hit by a train and rolled over the ties underneath. When we moved in 2011 -- I hired a crew. They loaded the 26' Penske on the far side in about three hours for a couple hundred bucks, and when we got here a bunch of neighbors came over to help and the truck was unloaded for free in about an hour.
Remember those old Western Airlines commercials? "... the oooonly way to fly!".

But at least here in the Austin area, there are more opportunities for excellent employment than in a rural area such as Eastland if ever leave TAASA.
Garage is about 50'x30' with tools and equipment sprawled out from one end to the other. It will be next week before I even get a chance to try to begin getting it organized....
Give me your address and I'll bring the beer!
I was self employed a few years ago, but my company treated me like crap. Retired now, much better.
Heat wasn't the problem this time. I was freezing my **** off!
Oh...Did NOT need THAT visual! And the second part is "funny...don't care who you are!" ROFL!
And VW...PM me when you head this way. Got to get the beer in Texas - that 3.2 Okla stuff won't cut it here! (Grew up on the TX-OK border, so I had WAY too much of that years ago!)
I don't drink 3.2 beer, and I'm sure as hell not going to drink that Shiner ****.
Isn't Oklahoma beer still 3.2%? It was when I was younger, maybe since then they allow adult beer there....and I don't do Shiner either.....
Made the final round trip to Eastland yesterday, getting back around midnight. Loaded car trailer with roll top desk, washing machine, antique dining set and patio furninture, two miles of garden hoses (well, maybe not that much) and ladders. Hooked up car dolly to car trailer. Dam rig looked like Jed Clapitt had loaded it (except for Granny's chair...)
I am so glad to have this done!
I worked out in garage some on Saturday installing work benches and pegboard, unpacking boxes, and putting tools back in roll around. Installed shelf and stereo - gotta have tunes!
I was going to take RV out for a 125 mile trip on Saturday, but it had been raining for 3 days. Cannot go out through drive because RV is too tal so I have to use another gate about 400 yards north - with no gravel drive. Since I do nont have a D9 Cat, I didn't go there. Start stratightening up garage was a good alternative.
