It’s been raining most of the day. Just what you want when you are moving to a new home. It’s 1030 and it’s a workday but I have spent 6 hours of my day on the adventure in moving. And it’s tax season. I hate moving.
Day began the usual way with animal feeding, people feeding and coffee. No lunch made for the mrs. we don’t have the food required. And a lot of our kitchen is packed up. Emily can go out for once.
This morning the HRV was still having issues. Last night the alarm went off three separate times this morning there was a large amount of water in the drivers side door well. And the doors would not unlock or lock with the key fob. The regular key did work. Also, the door open alarm and indicator kept going off even though no door was open. There is a ghost in the machine. So I drove it to the Honda dealer, it’s under warranty. They are going to report back today I hope. I need the car for the move.
I ubered home from Honda. Next up, get a U-Haul. This should be easy. I looked up closest U-Haul place and called for an Uber. 10 minutes later I was there, took 10 minutes to do paperwork and I was off to the house with a U-Haul truck.
I spent 90 minutes putting all the boxes from the house into the back of the truck. Too much work. I then filled the Fir with all the boxes of breakables which consist of liquor, wine, cocktail glasses and wine glasses. A car load of bad choices. We have a lot of alcohol.
Once both full, I locked up the truck and drove the fit to the storage in Dixon. There I hitched up the tear drop trailer, which was full of more boxes, to the Fit. We are driving up to our new place tonight to drop off the trailer and my car. We have five cars so it’s a bit of a fire drill getting all there.
Had to get the car jack out in order to connect the trailer. No one there to help so had to use tools. It was a knuckle busting pain in the ass. Good times.
I hauled off to work. Managed to get there by 330. Great, I can get 2 hours work in before I go up the hill. I had one client visit to finalize his 4 returns. I went thru the paperwork on a few more. Checked the mail. Usual.
Emily called. She said the truck wouldn’t start, she was pissed and angry. Fun. So we decided she would leave the truck and drive her car up the hill. Between u and me, I doubt there is anything wrong with the truck. When I get home later it will start, I just feel it.
I worked for about another half hour then I got in the Fir and drove to Auburn. Emily was about 15 minutes ahead of me. And it’s raining. No matter. I arrived at new humble abode and we dive into the work. Managed to get all lights on and crank up the heater. Then we unloaded the car and trailer. We did not empty any boxes. All we did was put boxes where the contents would end up. Took an hour.
It was late, almost 9. We left in search of food. Sadly, it seems all establishments close at 9. We drove several miles toward hwy 80 with no luck. Finally, very near the hey we found Burger & Cream open (till 10) and had a nice Valentines dinner there. We are both very tired so we ate and got moving.
The drive seemed like forever. Probably an hour 10 but felt longer. We got home, watered the dogs, and went to bed.
