Howdy, Mudders...
I have surfaced from a the Week from Hell and before I begin Week from Hell, Part 17 have 2 glorious days to be bossed around by not only the P-Vine but her sister here in "Win-git", North Care-lina...
For those poor souls who delight in Bobert's miseries I will not disappoint...
Seems about a week ago the P-Vine asked me if I had arranged to shut off the pudder company back in Pine Grove Holler so I called 'um up and told them to cut it off in 48 hours which would give me time to, ahhhh, get help from ya'll on gettin' my email addresses switched over, right???
Wrong...
45 minutes later everything went away so I called back and got some other person who said, "Get over it", so I asked to speak with his boss who told me to "Get over it" and so after spending three hours on the phone with various and sundry "Get over it-ers" I talked with the head guy who told me to "Get over it" and then I told him about my cousin so he said, "Well, maybe I could keep you email account open for a week" which he did and a dear friend has somehow converted me to G-mail with all my addresses and so life should be good, right???
Wrong...
So Monday was the big moving day and I packed up the P-Vine, 3 useless cats and her sister along with a our homemade covered trailer and sent them off to "Win-git" and then the crew-of-three-less-one showed to help load the 26 foot U-Haul with furniture and the crew-of-three-less-one and I packed the sumabich tighter than a mouse's ear and then I went back in the house and looked at what was still there and the reality set in that I had miss-figured the number of 7 1/2-hours-each-way by an additional trip... Maybe two but it was pushin' 4:30 in the pm and so I drove until after midnight to Win-git, crashed next to the P-Vine so life should be good, right???
Wrong...
Never buy the $75 queen sized air mattress from the Walmarx... Get the $125 on from Costco 'cause the Walmarx ones leak and are only good for about 3 hours, if that...
So the following day my NC boyz showed up and we had the truck unloaded in about 5 hours less time than the Pine Grove Holler crew-of-three-less-one (plus me) took to load it... I will have to admit that unloading we a lot easier than the loadin' so life shoulda been good, right???
Wrong...
Here we had lined up to have our phone and inner-net all working last Tuesday and seems that North Carolina math is differenter here than other parts of the country and 5,000 ft = 20,000 ft. and we are 20,000 feet (not 5,000 feet) from the innernet-mother-ship so here it is, what??? Three days later and I think I have innernet put I won't be sure until I hit the submit button at the end of this... BTW, what day is it??? I hope it's not Saturday... Please tell me it's Friday or Thursday... No matter... I got cold beer and I think a pudder that works so I reckon I deal with all this fun...
