Right there with ya boss. Getting the last of my shit boxed up today. Unfortunately I can't move in to my new place for a couple weeks so it's all going to be sitting in a friend's garage until I can move in. I don't have a whole lot of stuff, but there's enough to warrant a truck/car trailer rental if I want to get it all in one trip. I need to get some more furniture to fill up the truck.

It's official I don't have enough room. Time to start being honest with myself about what to keep.

Imagine sitting in Saint Louis in 1849 deciding what to haul all the way to Californy and all you got is a wagon. :mrgreen:

Are you allowed to put shit on the roof of uhaul trailers? Think they'd notice if I drill holes for eye bolts? Haha

Take the trailer back rent a big ass truck and a car dolly. It will be cheaper than giving away your mower

Great idea! Thanks man, I just ripped the mattress and box spring out of the trailer so much more room now. I'm gonna ditch the shitty box spring and get a new one in mobile. Mattress is going in top, I don't wanna jynx is but I might have it now.

I've moved plenty of times, and have come up with all sorts of creative solutions to the problem of too much stuff and not enough space. I kind of enjoyed the moves.

Post a pic of the mattress up on top of the trailer, sounds pretty redneck.

If you have a couple big (not easily damaged) items left you might look into putting them on a pallet and shrink wrapping them and check with a freight company. With Oak Harbor a pallet should run about a hundred bucks. Might be cheaper than replacing them.

Good luck with it and stay safe. Are you still going to be in Mobile at the end of this month, I've got a training course at Sea School in Bayou la Batrie may 27-31? Say grab a couple beers and maybe a fishing trip in the gulf?

I would have sold all that shit and just took my clothes and an air mattress. A young gigalo like you should be able to boink your way into a furnished house of a divorcee. Hit the bars out by the airport.

And when someone comes up behind you in the left lane doin 95 and flashing their lights for you to move over. Do you do it? Or do you take a page out of my book and hold your ground, wait for them to pass in the open middle lane and give them the one finger salute?
