    Mack not sure if you've ever seen those orange/white HDX work gloves at Home Depot. Pretty much very similar to the above gloves. Black cloth and a rubber type for the fingers/palm. Decent grip. Seem a little bit better than those HDX. Mostly due to the color would hide the oil stains and they don't seem to "roll" on my wrists like those HDX. I always had a pain getting them on but not bunched.

    Small update, had the Zoom "court" date today. Cleared up that Expired Tag Ticket, lowered it down to $83.00, and even gave me till April 1st, 2021 to pay it. Life is good. So things are starting to look up.

    So question. How much can you take on a bus if you travel that way to class? If my SUV is FUBAR. That's how I will be getting to TX

    My personal experience via buses....take as little as possible. Duffel bag and backpack would be how I'd go, if it was me.

    On the bright side you will meet some WEIRD and interesting characters.

    I don't know what bus company they are using but...for Greyhound here is their policy for luggage, etc..
    What is Greyhound's luggage policy?

    Enjoying the thread.

    One of those little tow behind uhaul carts are definitely an option, if not a must.

    Well actually Spirit is cheaper than Greyhound and only takes a couple hours to get there. So that is gonna be my "ticket." LOL Just have to figure out what I am going to take and leave behind. Because what I don't take I am gonna lose as I don't have anywhere to store it. But on a plus I can get $505.00 for my SUV in it's crappy state.

    If the stuff is worth something you could put it in storage and just mail the payments in from the road till you get a place or a truck of your own

    I agree with @keebler13579 . What if you get to orientation and, for whatever reason, they kick you out or you decide you don't want to be there?
