Update: Mrs, RD and I packed up all of our belongings into a 26 ft. Penske rental truck on Tuesday, with a lot of help from our neighbor’s two teenage boys, 17 and 15. We offered them each $100 cash if they would help. They were energetic, strong and eager to work. They worked 7 hrs. with an hour off for lunch. The truck was packed from front to back - the little over flow we had to fit into my wife’s car along with two puppies in the front passenger seat.

After doing a final cleaning of the house that night and some touch up the next morning we headed to Mississippi the next morning at 8:30 am and arrived safely at our home at 4 pm. 365 miles with a few stops for rest breaks for us and the pups. Were were wiped out tired.

My wife and I unloaded the truck today. I am ashamed to say that she did the bulk of the work, my hip problem limits me quite a bit. We started in the cool morning, 75 degrees, and ended in the heat of 95+. Mrs. RD is now passed out tired on the couch sleeping. She is a strong determined woman and she vowed to have that truck clear by the end of today and she did it despite my help.

Now we face days of unpacking, which we can take our time doing.

This morning during a break she went to Wal-Mart and bought a device called “Internet on the Go” with 1.5 Giga Bites of internet usage. This allows us to access the internet with out a cable or satellite or phone line. Handy device which is allowing me this make this post. It is darn fast also. Photo posts on FR load like I was on a high speed cable connection. The physical device is about the size of a credit card but 1/4 of an inch thick. I am happy that it works so well. I can watch YouTube videos posted on FR but understand they eat up the GB usage. The card is like a WiFi connection so I think a WiFi compatible computer is needed.
