Well, one thing fir sure is that this has become the "SK" (slobber-knocker) I thought it would be on steroids...

I have now completed 8 trips (7 in my 14' box truck and 1 in a 26' rented box truck) and have what looks like as 2 more trips before this "SK" is in the books... However...


... if all goes right my 1953 30' Spartanette and my Kabota will arrive next Wednesday morning on a flat bed trailer being pulled with a Peterbilt road tractor... Everything is tied down and braced and it took two hillbillies the better part of a day to dig it out, get it off it's block foundation put tires back on it and get it ready to head south...

I have also learned that the poor P-Vine, bless her heart, is severely box challenged... With 300 boxes of useless crap she is only good for about 2 boxes a day... According to the Wes Ginny Slide Rule it's gonna take here about 10 years to unpack from this "SK"...

I have also learned that one thing about "short sales" is that you are buying a pig in a poke... We have not had a working stove since arriving and are using a plug-in fry pan and mnicrowave for cooking... The dishwasher is wored out and the refrigerator is wored out so we went to visit Mr. Sears and Mr. Roebuck and this Wednesday we'll have new appliances...

The pool is full of algae and we're shocking it daily and brushing it and cleaning the filter and hopefully have clear water by the 4th of July...

The ol' farm is spooky... The grass hasn't been cut in a month... Deer have broken into the deer fencing and the place looks like crap... There is evidence of lots of other animals roaming around and digging and pooping and messin' up... My chainsaw is missing but nothin' else...

I can't stay there any more... I was down to sleeping on an air mattress but the joint just weirds me the heck out...

Two more trips!!!
