Yesterdays moving adventure....

Still got lots of loose ends to get moved.
Yesterday myself and some friends load up the
westy and a rented truck with 14' box.
The westy gets mostly potted plants this trip.
The 14 footer gets largish shop tools, drill press,
band saw, metal storage cabinets, etc.

I drive the loaded westy up the hill, and friends follow
in the truck. I get to the top first, and start unloading.
Friends show up a minute later and park behind me.
Friend A jumps out and rolls up the back door of the truck
and exclaims "Uh-oh". Being the curious type, I mosey
on over to see what "uh-oh" means. "Friends" had done
a crappy job of tying my drill press up and it had fallen over...
Fallen onto a box that contained fire extinguishers and
smashed one, which discharged it's powdery payload
all over my tools and the inside of the u-haul truck.
Sigh... what a mess.

Moving sucks.

Vanagon content? It's totally amazing how much
stuff will fit in a westy. I managed to get our huge
couch in it, and another trip took 2 large book cases
And of course a metric shitload of boxes will fit in it...
What a great utility vehicle. Moves large furniture
or camp and cook in it...  (-:
