moving (sigh) again

[billy]

my gal is in abq n.m.
and i am 190 miles away in farmington
so we got a house in a place called belen.
what this means is that i have to pack everything in a 3 bedroom house including furniture, fridge and washer/dryer
along with my shop
auto tools, reloading equipment.lumber,bike,lawn care stuff, hotrod, etc.
load it onto a 20 " trailer and drive it there (more than 1 trip)
this is a LOT of work for one person.
i will sure be glad when dawn and i are living in the same house.
i am wondering if even two trips will be enough?
a while back i bought a 3/4 ton 4x4 GMC long bed king cab truck.
and it is coming in handy.

I feel for ya! I moved one time, and that was enough for me. After living here 35 years, I'd hate to have to pack up all my junk and go somewhere else. It'd take a semi or two to hold my stuff.

Yep, moving is second on my list for intertainment next to doing drywall
How long have you lived in Farmington?
More importantly, does the new place have a shop

Why Belen?

That sounds about right. About the only thing I like about moving is it makes you decide if stuff is worth keeping.

I want to move........

Need some place with more room to roam and a bigger shop.....

Why Belen?

it's a nice place on 2 fenced acres.
and it's cheap.

If I ever have to move again, there is going to be a big auction, tools, shop equipment, guns, everything.

I like moving about as much as I like wet sanding . . . and I absolutely hate wet sanding!

 

[billy]

on the plus side.
it wont be a long drive to attend the rumblers thunder 12 car show.

the only reasons i would sell all my cool toys would be
1 i got in an accident and became paralyzed
2 i got so old i couldnt use them

Man I feel your pain bro ! Just this last June I did a 800+ mile journey from So.California to Rio Rancho,NewMexico . I rented two 20 footers to haul the garage,1 20footer for the house,and still had to go back to trailer my Suburban back. Really expensive and really exhausting . Jeez talk about a "road trip" ! Hang in there billy. When your move is complete it'll be all worth it !
