    I really enjoy the pics of your place. So when exactly did you move to Tatooine and how much did the U-Haul cost?

    I think U-haul was like $80 plus gas.

    But I got food poisoning or something, and was it ever F. They wouldn't give me any extra time, and said if I didn't return the truck as scheduled, they'd tow it, and auction our stuff.

    If it wasn't for all my tools being in there, I may have let them.

    That's the sickest I've been in I can't remember how long.

    Never use U-haul again.

    Ive had real good luck with Uhaul. Other than the rude people at the austin location when I moved and the rude people where i dropped it off up here.

    Here is what happened when I went to rent the truck in austin.Way back in 98 I had all my stuff in a uhaul storage unit. One day went there, loaded up what I wanted to keep, shut the door and walked away. Not my smartest move but Ive done much worse lol - Fast forward to 2018. 20 years later. Wen tto rent this truck and they said i have a FLAG on my name/account. Something aboot an unpaid bill. Oops. Had totally forgotten aboot that old storage unit I abandoned.
    So -
    Had two dudes waiting at my apt to load all my junk in the truck. Now I have a snag. The uhaul dude said you have to get this squared away before we can rent you this truck. F.
    So -
    Called Uhaul main office in Phoenix I believe it was. Explained the problem . I was thinking I was gonna have to pay a bunch of money to resolve the issue. BUT they fiddled around and said well we cant even find any record of the old storage unit or anything else from 20 years ago lol. Flag removed. Have a nice day!

    Lol... Aint that the truth! Its been awfully #### cold for this time of year. Saturday morning I went and help a group from the local LDS church ward cut and split firewood for folks in need... I played HELL getting my splitter started before I left the house. And once I got it started I just left it running.

    So, side bar... Why is it that when you go with a bunch of guys to cut wood, that it seems that NONE of them know how to sharpen a chainsaw??? I was able to cut 2 rounds off of a 20" log in the same amount of time they could cut a single round from an 8" log. I think I could have put my chain on backwards and almost cut faster than they were. I dont know how they could even stand to run a saw like that. I lightly hit the dirt with my chain and had to immediately stop and touch it up with the file. Its just too #### much work to run a dull saw, while a sharp saw is almost a joy to run.
