catesta Posted August 8, 2005 Author Report Posted August 8, 2005 You can do it yourself! Last time we moved we packed/loaded everything and drove two big 19' Ryder trucks as well as two cars. ← On the other hand, I got to watch the guys carry my stuff up 15 steps outside to get to the front door, and then another 12 steps once they were inside. It was worth it. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted August 8, 2005 Report Posted August 8, 2005 Mrs. Moose put her hooves down; we're using professional movers. I, on the other hand, have held out for a half acre lot rather than the miniscule plot she wanted. You have to pick your battles... Quote
catesta Posted August 8, 2005 Author Report Posted August 8, 2005 All things considered, I would still pick hiring a moving company over doing it yourself. My advice, like many before me. Sell everything you can live with out. It saved us big money. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 House went on the market yesterday, today was the "agents preview" and we had 28 different real estate agents show up. Our open house is Saturday. Wednesday offers are due and we start picking and choosing. I tell ya, there's nothing like the Bay Area housing market... My advice, like many before me. Sell everything you can live with out. It saved us big money. ← Fortunately for us, most of our furniture is so old, even if we wanted to keep it, it would be pointless. We're looking forward to getting new stuff to go with the new house. (We've even got a nibble on this stoopid modular sofa thingie... ) Looks like we'll be in the new place before Halloween! Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted August 19, 2005 Report Posted August 19, 2005 Looks like we'll be in the new place before Halloween! ← You are making the traditional stop in Whitehall on the way aren't you? Quote
catesta Posted August 19, 2005 Author Report Posted August 19, 2005 Looks like we'll be in the new place before Halloween! ← You are making the traditional stop in Whitehall on the way aren't you? ← I highly recommend it. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 Unfortunately, no; we'll be heading south, then across. Once I get down there though, I'll be picking up a vehicle, so I'm hoping for a future roadtrip north. I hear there's this pretty decent organ trio up around Michigan somewhere; thought I'd give them a listen... Quote
J.A.W. Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 Mrs. Moose put her hooves down ← Errm... Did she read this? Quote
catesta Posted August 20, 2005 Author Report Posted August 20, 2005 I hear there's this pretty decent organ trio up around Michigan somewhere; thought I'd give them a listen... ← Any other info on that organ trio would be much appreciated. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted September 29, 2005 Report Posted September 29, 2005 Time to borrow your thread one last time, Catesta! I'll be packing the computer today, and won't be back on line until the movers get it to the new house, it's hooked up, etc. Remember: wellwishes will be pointless, as I won't see them until I'm already there! (Wait a minute; wasn't that a line on a Firesign Theater album???) See y'all soon... Quote
Peter Johnson Posted September 29, 2005 Report Posted September 29, 2005 Remember: wellwishes will be pointless, as I won't see them until I'm already there!← Good luck with the move, Mark, and have a safe trip! Quote

I wasn't sure if you guys were still going ahead or waiting. I guess the move is on. Whether you see it now or later, I'm still going to wish you the very best. Drive safe! Quote
Free For All Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 Just wondering how our buddy J-Moose is doing. Hurry back Mark! Quote
catesta Posted October 12, 2005 Author Report Posted October 12, 2005 Just wondering how our buddy J-Moose is doing. Hurry back Mark! ← Yeah, how long does it take a moose to drive across the country? Quote
Free For All Posted October 12, 2005 Report Posted October 12, 2005 Those antlers must create a lot of wind resistance. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted October 12, 2005 Report Posted October 12, 2005 Those antlers must create a lot of wind resistance. ← They provide a great place to hang those wardrobe bags. Quote
catesta Posted October 19, 2005 Author Report Posted October 19, 2005 It's about time for a moose report. Quote
7/4 Posted October 19, 2005 Report Posted October 19, 2005 It's about time for a moose report. ← Yeah, I was wondering what's up. I need help in the sarcastic remarks dept. Quote

Jazzmoose Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 Oh, man...it's not the travel, it's getting your damned computer back on line! They don't tell you that if you're moving to the middle of nowhere that you have to wait until they find enough suckers to fill the truck before your stuff ships. I've been here for about two weeks; the moving van didn't show up until today. I'm still working on getting the DSL up and running; I'm on the back-up dial-up bit right now, so this is going to be hit-and-run; hopefully I'll be back full time tomorrow or soon. But I do have to read about Trane Fanatic's rat before I sign off!! Quote
Ron S Posted October 20, 2005 Report Posted October 20, 2005 WOW! I get to be the first in a long line to say: WELCOME BACK!!! Quote
