Well its moving day........again!

Now that its 5 days in from when we started our move I am looking back and saying " I should have taken Rockmodeler up on his offer!!!" Holy cats in cellophane what a disaster this has been!

All in all things were going good in a Murphy kinda way. Half the help didnt show up, the other half tried to kill me! My buddy from High school ( God love him! He deserves a raise in what we have been paying him) Tossed a box of what he thought were pants and shirts at me from about 10 feet out. Well the box also contained a large heavy picture frame![B)] Thats what I got besides getting knocked out! As I lay there waiting for the ringing to go away and my eyes to stop seeing star bursts I hear my lovely wife scream" Get off the boxes your crushing them!!!"[:0] She missed the catch I made and didnt know why I was lying down on the job. Lucky for me I get a day off today ( had to bargin with her cause she saidRoot canal? you want a day off for that?????")So back to getting the last few loads up to the new "Rocket House" I have been looking over the yard and traying to set upa design for it, but alas it was cold and I was being told to get in the house and move stuff now!

So in a nut shell moving isnt for the faint of heart nor is catching a picture frame in the eye!Hopefully will have something going by mid spring with either the house layout, and or the yard layout! Keep posted and someone pass me a steak ( you put it on your eye? Heck I was going to eat it![B)])

Yes we are on time but this is yesterdays train

And that sort of thing is exactly why I have said that if I ever move again (last move in 1993), I don't care how much, Movers are going to do it! I want extra done, a case of beer will see it through, and they can swill it at home!

Giggles and grins Mayflower will be coming in 9 years we have already agreed to that. But so far so good we are going to finish saturday ( We better by golly!) Lucky me I get to go back to finish my root canal ( what do you mean I have to come back!?!?!) so not looking forward to that however it wasnt as bad as I thought it would be and today i am still packing a few loose ends( yeah right I am on here playing around but no one tell her ok )Be back soon and hopefully with some plans of the indoor versiona dn the outdoor for some friendly advice.

Stay safe all.
