Packing
Got the bulk of my stuff moved into storage yesterday. Feels like a victory. I wanted to have it done by nightfall but it took - even with EK's help - till midnight. I rented a big cargo van which was sort of fun to drive since the driver's seat is quite high up, although there's no rearview mirror. My muscles are so soooooore...
I slept quite heavily after coming back here last night. No surprise, since I'd had a total of 9 hours' sleep in the last 2-3 days prior - 4 hours Monday night, 2 hours drunken nap after our lab's meeting at the Union Terrace (I had ONE bottle of hard lemonade/shandy and then fainted when I stood up), and 3 hours Tuesday night. Groan.

It would probably take less then an ounce of the chinese bai jiu here to knock you out.
Packing Story Time: two friends of mine, Brendon and Ben K, (Not BigBen), and I were the ones that moved my family into my parent's current house. THe moving went smoothly, with 2 truckloads of stuff. However, the very last set of things to be moved were woodworking equiptment. Joiners, plainers, tablesaws....among those was a solid cast iron piece for a router (not the computer kind). It weighed about 400lbs. We had to take it down a flight of steps into the basement. The only way to handle it was by grasping sharp metal corners, and by the time we got it into position, we couldn't uncoil our fingers from it, they had stiffened into a grasping position. We had planned to play games after moving, but we had to cancell that due to our fingers being stuck in one position...and they were still very stiff the next day.
Brendon and Ben, to this day, still remind me of that....i still owe them big.
