Anyway, a big shout out to Mike B, Mike R, Sweet, Blaine, RoverDan, Andre, Paul and Erik for their help in making this big move happen.
The ODSS brotherhood rocks!

Surely there must be some colorful stories of that moving adventure.
It's kindly like being the Maytag repairman in here.
Oh yah, they say "kindly" out that way John.
My wife's Granny once said to my wife about her new sister-in -law that, "I believe she's kindly allergic to you hun." Meaning that she wasn't ready to warm up to her quite yet.
When they listen to you talk, they won't say it, but they'll probably think that you talk too fast and it was as though you didn't have a mouthful of river rocks, and how come he moves his lips and tongue so much when he talks?

I haven't lost any hair at all. A lot of it did migrate to my ears, nose, eyebrows and back.
Like my Grandpa always said, "Less hair to comb, but more face to warsh."

But I’m still turning wrenches!

Like my Grandpa always said, "Less hair to comb, but more face to warsh." But he did run out of fuel.................... Pt. Carl - est. 2024 One of the highlights of a year soon coming to a close. I was part of the HQ Logistical Operation. Many stories to be told, however in order to make this a full story, our Founding Couple need to get plugged back into the world to start the fun. Last I chatted with either of them, it's still a few days away. That is also what they said when I was there a month ago......

How true...  Mike B  | | | | | Joined: Nov 1995 Posts: 5,470 Bond Villain | | Bond Villain Joined: Nov 1995 Posts: 5,470 | Its been a long day. The crew showed up about 10 am to get the internet connected. I spent a good bit of the rest of the day getting the WiFi set up, Peggy's computer finally unpacked and set up, online and connected to the network. Then ... remapping the NAS (wherein EVERYTHING Stovebolt resides ...) to the network ... So Peggy finally got back online and spent the afternoon "flight testing" the network and as she would find something, I dealt with it until she was hitting on all 6! About 3 pm, I finally got outside and did some farm work -- mainly in the barn. The move crew will remember the four stalls on the south side. I've named them the Boteler, Blaine, Sweet and Roache Suites. Today was removing the door, wall and manger in the Boteler Suite. And I have wired the generator into the panel so I have light in the barn. I even replaced the alternator in the '73 IH using the barn lights. I'll start a new thread in the morning with pictures about the actual move. And then the mayhem can ensue.
