U-Haul Me

Well kids, I'm moved into the new apartment with the little lady over here in "West Bismarck". It's a nice little place, but it's also a little place. It's odd how you can accumulate so much stuff in the last 7 years. The Olympic weight set that sat in the garage at 2607 is making a nice paperweight in this garage as well. So right now we're trying to fit a square peg in a round hole with all of this stuff. I threw a bunch of stuff before I left and a bunch more after I got here, but all of the rest of the stuff is like rabbits and keeps multiplying.


Anyways, logistically right now it wasn't worth trying to move both of us into a new place and we wanted to be settled in when the little one got here so we'll make do for now.

It's a little weird too, I lived at 2607 for over 7 years, which was the longest I had lived in one spot since I graduated high school. It did kinda suck leaving after living with Olney and Nichol so long, but I guess we all were bound to leave at some point.


It got me to thinking tho on the best/worst places I lived. The trailer house in Sherwood built out of cheese graters where the wind whistled thru it and my roommate forgetting to put propane in the tank so that we had to turn the oven on with the door open to heat the place for the night - worst. The Ponderosa (farmhouse on a farm), by far the best. It was the only place I lived where I could wake up, wonder what to eat for breakfast, look out the window and see deer feeding in the snow, crawl out the back window with a bow and arrow and 20 minutes later be frying up deer backstraps. Me and Brother Bob also had to maintain a trapline for mice which wasn't so good, but trapping the squirrel in the attic was pretty fun.


Well, now I'm just rambling. Better posts to come, just had to get the formalities in.

i don't know how anywhere you live with troy walters is the worst place you have lived. and, by the way, if that trailer was good enough for dori aho and pat smith, it was good enough for the queen of england.

He was on the way to redefining 9-Man football as we know it before he lost all of his money on that one pyramid scam. He still owes me about $250 for that phone bill he ran up out at the Ponderosa.
