JJ's Place

Am still running well but getting irritable. Have been out 3 months and ready for some HT.

Tried to unload early today but nobody home. This place has no dock and no ramp. They plan to unload with a forklift and a pallet jack. LOL Hope it's rated for 7500+ lbs!!!! Have 7 pallets on here and the weight came to 39850. Transformers. Think I have 2 7500's, 3 5500's, and think the small ones were 2k or so.

 

JJ has only worked two days this week he might get an evening run tonight depends on how tired he is after all his VA appointments today.

 

have room, with a pool, and a view, and rental car for the weekend. who wants to P A R T Y????

 

It ain't so bad really - pallet jacking some heavy stuff - but you do want to be sure that unit isn't facing even ever so slightly downhill or it'll be a good workout for whoever's lugging them to the tail gate sure enough lol

 

Unfortunately, the pallet jack he had was only rated for 5k, had to pull out chains. Good thing those were some heavy duty pallets. As a side note. ....... dang, but those grooved floors are hard on knees! !!

 

well, finally got my old laptop back. and she seems to be attracting viruses.

think i'll go car shopping while the laptop wipes and installs itself. cuz the manufacture installation process. is going to be awhile.

 

I am not swapping to a newer version of windows. I have 7 in this one and if I get newer eventually I will either go to Linux or just go old school with unsupported windows XP

Still running Florida hauling my Furniture to and fro. Need to start lifting weights though, all the unloading is getting me in better shape, but not working enough muscle groups to really bulk up. And also not getting enough aerobic work.

Been looking for a house to buy for weeks. But having a hard time finding something decent in my price range, and in a good area. Every one I have found so far has sold in 2 days. Been hours late for a bid twice lol. Looking at 5 more tomorrow, maybe it will be my lucky day.

 

around these parts, renting is getting to be the new thing.

the best i can hope for at the moment is a trailer home. but the lot rent is as expensive as an apartment. so it makes no sense to have a trailer home. specially since everybody is selling out. not many places left.

 

We have pretty much been running semi local longest run JJ has done lately was 453 miles and that was DH LOL.


We rent a place in Shelbyville TN and love it here.
