Hi all, I back from my 3 week expedition of hauling most of our stuff back east and putting it in storage, doing some house hunting etc. No problems on the long haul, I lucked out and got a near brand new Uhaul 26 footer on its second trip having just come up from Arizona. Looked at quite a few houses, some in town, some on little acreages but it's going to have to wait till the end of the month when we're outta here and back there permanently, albeit living at my moms till just the right place shows up. I began having second thoughts though after that heat wave. I haven't sweated so much for so long in decades. I find it almost unbearable, too hot and muggy to even go sit on the beach. Had a pretty nice time though, helped sister paint her diningroom, put a new digital Tstat in moms house (couldn't find a Honeywell digital roundie for some reason so had to settle for their square one). My second day I pop into a junk store downtown and spot a blue Connie in pretty good shape but it was sooo hot out I didn't feel like carting it a few blocks back to the car so I figured I'd go back for it in a couple of days. After all, who in such a small place is gonna want it.. well it was gone when I returned!!!!! The only sad part of the trip was that my closest and dearest friend, a woman whom I used to babysit for when I was 15 took ill a few days before I left and was rushed to hospital. I spent quite a few days with her in the hospital although she was by then comatose and she passed away on the day I was leaving. To top that off I flew into Toronto to catch my flight home, got on the jet, we taxi'd to the runway and sat there for 3.5 hours because of a bad storm, then they canceled the flight for lack of fuel by the time the worst was over.
So we now have til the 15th of this month to get all the rest of the stuff packed or tossed out and I get to repeat the long arduous drive once again.
So that's pretty much all that's been happening..got lots of reading to do.
