Subject: RE: BS: Bobert's Move- Last trip and update...
In the words of the late, great Roy Orbison...

..."It's over, it's over, it's over, it's oooooooooover!!!"

Praise the Lord!!!

This one was the slobber-knocker of them all... But the truck is out in the driveway seriously loaded...

This last trip was absolutely draining and depressing... The new owner has allowed the grass to grow a foot tall... I hated being in the house but had to get the last few things out and clean the refrigerator and mop floors, vacuum, etc...

The trip back was strange... I got as far a Greensboro, NC when the Heavens opened and there was hail and rain that came down so fast that if flooded the lower parts if I-85 and the water was between a foot and 18 inches deep and the cars were just stopped with their blinkers on while we truckers weaved thru them at 1 mph and ventured thru the flooded out interstate... That added an extra hour to the drive but, hey, glad to have been in "Ugly" or I might still by in Greensboro...

As for "Ugly"??? It is sold... I have a trailer full of heavy stuff (tractor attachments, large rocks (300-400 pounds) a very heavy sculpture, etc. coming tomorrow and the buyer is hitching a ride down and will drive it back...

Glad this is behind me...

That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger...

I donno... I weighed in at 172 when I started the move and I'm down to buck 63... Body fat??? LOL...

Thanks all for your support, prayers, etc...
