What's moving in like? Sigh. Well, there is fixing things so that the "Professional Movers" can put things into a van. 2 1/2 hours of physical work for me, 3 hours of work for them. Drive this 24 foot truck to our new location. Not that big of a deal, except man did it drive hard. Very sluggish, hard to turn, scccaaaarrreey. I made sure someone helped me back up each time. Went down an alley...whew. Finally, after maybe 45 minutes of trying to position and reposition the truck in the alley, we gave up and I drove the truck into the parking lot. Longer distance for moving the file cabinets, but easier for the 3 guys to move. Two of these guys are friends of Norm and Frank came to help at my request. Yeah Frank. PLUS, one of the 2 wheelers' wheels was flat. Frank went and got that fixed. Brother. 4 1/2 hours of moving into the office. I carried a lot of boxes but refused to move the file cabinets much as they weighed between 100 and 200 pounds. Way too much for me. Finally, at 9:00 pm we were finished. The place is a biggggggg mess. So much work to do. But I drove the now empty and easy to handle truck back to Budget, picked up my car, said bye to Norm, got a sandwich, and went home. Boy am I sore today.
