If you have EVER sworn an oath to the Constitution as a member of a military branch, police officer, or firefighter, may I humble suggest that you join the Oath Keepers organization?

If, like me, you take that oath as seriously today as you did on the day you made it, it is your RESPONSIBILITY to do what you can to preserve our Republic as the Founders intended it to be.

WE have been far too lax in our vigilance; there are enemies both at the gates, and even more shamefully, WITHIN those gates, that are doing their best to take our Republic away from us.

It is up to US to defeat their attempts at all costs.

We owe it to our posterity, and we owe it to our honor.

The Republic may still fall; all human institutions eventually do, BUT:

AAAAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!

Well, the move to the new quarters has been successfully accomplished....sort of. As in all moves, it will take a month or two before most of the boxes are unpacked and the contents placed in their new assigned places.

The great news is that we finally really have all the space we need for the amount of crap we own; in fact we can buy a little more crap to add to the mess, if our checking account ever recovers from the cost of the movers.
The estimator hit it right on the button...10 hrs @ $110. an hr = $ 1,100.
From past experience with this company, we had thought we might be able to 'git-er-done' in 8 hrs., but alas, it was only 6 minutes shy of a full ten hours before the last box was placed in the garage. I have no complaints, the movers didn't dawdle at any time, with no damage to any item, and they were full of good humor despite the heavy loads they were expected to safely move and place in ridiculously tight spaces.

Kudos to Two Men and a Truck, if you are in the central Indiana area and need a dependable company, I highly recommend them, and if you would, tell them I sent them your way? Maybe I can get them to advertise here.

Tomorrow is the big day. The moving truck is expected to arrive at 0845 Hrs. and then the big move to the new quarters. We are done with all the packing with the excepting of one bedroom and the garage, so we are in fine state of readiness for the movers.

We are taking the electronics over by car today, so this is the last post until we get set up in the new place.

See all ya'all in a couple or three days...

Sorry about the sparse posting, but it can't be helped. Beth and I are moving on short notice due to circumstances we had no control over.

The silver lining is that the new house has twice the room and is in a better neighborhood, for not a lot more in rent; we will also have the option to buy after 6 months. The cloud is that we have to get everything packed (to Beth's specifications, and let me tell ya, ANY moving company would be impressed with her standards!!!). You never realize how much you've collected until you try to pack it and move it.

Also, one of our cars picked this exact time to go belly up, causing great panic about the feasibility of funding everything that needed it.

The expenses keep mounting and the stock market keeps dropping, so it's situation normal.

Moving day is set to begin at 0845 on Monday, March 16. The computer will get disconnected the day before the move and probably not be reconnected until two to three days after the move, so no posting in that period.
