Road Trip! Heading to the Knoxville TN area helping some good friends migrate. Catch up wit youse guys later on!
well that was a tad more exciting than I'd hoped...
Thursday my wife and I were helping some friends load their truck, and next thing I know, I'm volunteering to drive the y'all haul to TN for them, we wind up loading up my buick with their stuff (they didn't get nearly a big enough truck...) and on friday morning, we strap my SUV on the trailer. naturally enough it took longer to get going than we'd have liked... and so we didn't leave until almost 2pm.
we got through several road construction delays in PA... and as I'm approaching carlisle, my parents call, saying there is what I call 'heavy weather' ahead, and that I should stop and get a hotel somewhere then drive the next day. I wish I had. I decided to press on... and I didn't wind up getting to roanoke and my hotel until 3 am. Oh, by the way, there was no power at the hotel, so I wound up napping in the truck until dawn, and then driving another hour and a half to find a) a hotel with power, and b) which also took pets (my friends had their weimariner with them)... My friends had stopped back at the VA state line, I pressed on through the storm, but they were tired and wound up sleeping in their car overnight there.
By 11am, they'd caught up to me however, and grabbed another couple of more restful hours of sleep in the hotel, I got about 6 hrs of decent rest, then we loaded up and pushed on to get to their new place. We did a bit of unloading, just enough to get the beds in the house, well mattresses anyway, then we stopped, put all of the stuff we just parked on the porch in the house, went and grabbed dinner and then came back and hit the hay.
I got up this morning, showered and am now in bridgewater picking up stuff that I left here when I moved... going to grab some rest, then hit the road around midnite so I will hit the construction zones in PA in the middle of the night, when hopefully there won't be as much traffic. .
