Packing Up

Five days of packing items with three days getting them into the truck.

Truck Day 1 lent two moving hands for two hours. They got it started with the heavy stuff.

Truck Day 2 was all the miscellaneous, trying to pack in as tightly and space-saving as possible.

Truck Day 3 was washing all of the dishes and separating final items of what to take this trip vs. what to leave for the next.

When the truck was ready, it was time for the farm overhaul, making sure the hay arroving tomorrow would be secured behind tarps and all the animals would have adequate food, water, bedding, and shelter.

Afterward, we hosed down mud demons and found our hounds had been hiding underneath the grime.

Then, I had just enough time to drive into town to attach the trailer.

However, as soon as I began driving down the road in the rain, the passenger side windshield wiper flew kiltered-off of its mount, causing the mechanism to jam.

Thus semed a clear enough message to me that we wouldn’t be driving this evening. It’s better to manage the move when daylight aids visuals and emergency backup resources are more readily available.
