It has finally begun. We got all the furniture and boxes loaded into the U-Haul truck on Friday and were all set to go this morning. After installing the car-top carrier (we had to wait for the downpour to stop so we would not get drenched installing it). We did get drenched anyway, but only because it was very muggy and even just standing outside I was sweating.
This first day was a short (!) one, with us only driving about 275 miles to Trish's brother's place. The drive was uneventful, and the only sort of surprise is how quickly the U-Haul truck goes through gas. It is only getting 8-9 miles/gallon. But it is apparently what should be expected. I guess I expected a bigger gas tank then. Oh well.
Well I better close as we are about to start on day 2 of the great trek of 2006.
Will try and post tonight!
This will be a collection of my musings - when I have some. Although ramblings might be a better description. Whatever happened during my day will most likely be logged here.

About me: I am a baby-boomer who is now in his second career after spending 10 years in the military. I now work in the computer field, which also happens to be one of my hobbies. I also like to sing, play the guitar to accompany my singing, and play the piano when I practice (which is pretty much never these days)
