Catherine had a bit of a meltdown when she realized how much junk she was really getting. So far all i've brought over was the big truck, the little truck and the jeep and the trailer and the ATV. Still got a couple of more vehicles sitting at the old house, and not to mention all the rest of the items in the workshop....

We are only going for Thursday-Monday.

Haha shes stuck with the extra stuff now...

Not until I finish moving it over. I need to get to work on the preachers expy so I can get that back to him. I let him borrow my white truck while I have the expy, since I have the Jeep and one ton to use around town anyway.

Her house has a 2 car small detached, but it's mostly full of stuff being stored. I've started the enormous task of cleaning it out. I've moved over a couple of tool boxes already and the AC machine. Started working on the preacher's Expy today. System couldn't hold a vacuum for 5 minutes even. I've added dye and such to it, as well as some refrigerant. Now just got to give it a little time to leak out, and see if I can spot it with a black light, or if I have to start tearing the dash apart. Pretty sure it has two evaporators in it. So I'm not looking forward to tracing where those are at.

In other news. Right after a week of marriage, I got laid off. So, that happened. Going to start the Job search come Monday morning, and talking about other options that are available to us. Catherines income can float us for a couple of months, but after that it's going to get a little tight around here.

Good luck on the search.

We went this morning to get a new mattress and box spring because ours was way past time to replace. Went with intentions of just getting a new queen size mattress and box spring... Somehow I let the wife convince me we needed a king size bed, and adjustable bed head/foot bed frame.

hope you went with a split king... parents found out after having the adjustable queen that they would get annoyed with each other about the adjustments.... dad would like to sit and watch tv in bed with the head up and the feet up which annoyed mom... she preferred to lay down and read in bed (more like fall asleep 99% of the time) but when dad would have it "folded" she couldnt be comfortable... with the split king he could have the bed the way he wanted and should could have her side remain flat...

Nope. We don't have a TV in there, or read in there. We stay in the living room until we are ready to go to bed. The only reason we even got the adjustable base was it was cheaper than buying a box spring and regular base with it being on sale.
