Fixing the old place to sell = Pain !!

Spent most of yesterday loading the trailer. It is packed tight and VERY HEAVY !! Went to the Daughters and ex wifes for Christmas Eve and I had a egg nog . I about died!!!It had Whiskey in it . I don't do whiskey of any kind . One sip makes me sick as a dog . :sad:

I woke up sick and my back on fire this morning . Suppose to go visit mt SIL in the hospital , but not till I quit pukin.
 
Things have been rolling right along . It was bound to catch up with me :sad:. My back has been giving me fits and I been trying to keep it strecthed.

I needed to crawl on my hands and knees to load the front of the truck . I woke up this morning and could not move . My back is on fire and I now have "Water on the knee" !!! Only had this a couple times in my life . Pain in the ass !
I'll be headed back to bed in a few minutes to elevate the leg and ice it while I have a heating pad on my back !!! Looks like I may be getting a two day vacation .....Its raining and snowing to beat the band here , so I guess it really don't matter none .
 
It all happens in HIS time and all we do is suffer when he makes us slow down. Take a break and get yourself fixed up before you haul anymore. Besides you already missed Christmas at the ranch!!!:whistling: JK , you have been overdoing it and the weather is so screwed up out there it may be the best thing for now. I see that another wave is coming ashore right up north where you are so it will make a real mess of the passes on your route.
 
Its a mess around here . Went to Reno to she my SIL who had a stroke and drove back in Chain control for 50 miles . Interstate 80 got closed down from wreaks , right after we crossed over the pass . This is suppose to be a small storm but so far its hittin hard !!!
 
Damn buddy, 50 miles with chains on sucks. No wonder you are hurting today. The weather channel did a show on the passes and it did not look good for trucks for the amount of snow they had.
 
Yeap ! I needed this like another hole in my head !

I have learned one thing from all this ..... Never again !

If I would have had any idea how invovled this was , I would not have moved . I would have just let the place sit and the kids could fight over it . I would have walked away , giving it all to them .

Back to bed put the leg up :sad: .

Well , I got the leg elevated for awhile and packed in ice . Fell asleep and woke up with it feeling a bit better . Still limping around but at least I can go to the can without wondering if I am going to fall down .
It never fells .... I just threw away two pairs of crutches 2 days ago . I would love the have one now .
I hope to be able to do the last few things around here and hit the road for good,very soon . God , am I ready for a change . :unsure:
 
That water on the knee is a pain. I had one bad bout of it behind my right knee about 10 years ago. It still comes back in a minor way but nothing too severe. The longer you can give it go down the better. I had to take nsaid's for it but they tear your stomach up and did not seem to do much for it.Relax and give it a few more days.
 
Man !!!! Do I look like a joke . Hobbleing around on one leg . I got the Snow Cat loaded and the Shop all cleaned today . The car lift is now setting behind the shop . Boy is it empty in there .

With all due respect FUCK YOU !!!!!!!!!:wink:

Getting down to short straws now . I'll move the LOADED snowcat trailer behind the shop tomorrow until it heads up to Idaho . Waiting on 4 more new windows to be installed to replace the ones that broke their seals on the house . I think I have now replaced every window here over 20 years .

The new owners called today and told me to take the Jenn Air stove , dishwasher and Trash compactor when we leave as they have brand new ones to install . Seems like a real waste to me . I'll see if my brother would like them for his remodel of his kitchen that he plans this summer . I would hate to just haul them off to the dump .
Even the old Model A is loaded up with crap in the back .

Really not much left to load except for a few boxes in the house tomorrow and my 5X5 Bull Elk Head . I hope it fits in the truck ! I think we may leave on Sunday or Monday to our new home . Its been a long move .......
I'll spend the last few days cutting down a Poplar Tree the new owners want cut down , A oil change on both rigs , Install a new section of fencing and a little clean up outside .

Hard to believe that after 54 years this county will no longer be my home in America .

Cleaned the dog kennels and pressure washed both driveways today in a snow storm . Tieing up a few loose ends . Also used the Boom lift and cut down that nasty 50 ' Poplar tree that is pushing roots up in my lawn and burned all the limbs .The neighbor took the bigger chucks for fire wood . I have no idea how it is for fire wood . That baby is now history !!!! Should have everything out of the house tomorrow , except for one mattress to sleep on . Wife loves dining out every meal !!!!:clap:

Hey guys , I am going to have to pull the computer in the next day or so . I'll be offline for a week or more . You have been warned

It sure is . And I even had it raised up on the front so i can just back the Equiptment trailer under the front end and winch it on the trailer . If you plan to take it , you might as well grab the Model A pickup in the Shop and save me a trip back to Ca.

you are safe,, most of this group does not want to travel that far in winter

:brows:
 
Ok .... I figure I got about 1500 pounds of packed boxes in the back of the truck . Its a HD250 FORD 4x4 .The 12000 pound equiptment trailer is heavily loaded to the hitch . I figure I may have another 1500 plus pounds of tongue weight from the trailer . Not Good:unsure: ..... I am thinking of putting the big AC compressor on the back to offset the tongue weight .The truck can pull it but I do not want too much tongue wieght . I have both axles braking on the trailer .
I think I may go down and weigh the truck and trailer at the scales to determine tongue wieght .
This is going to be one big ass load !!!!!! I can handle 16, 400 towing with no problem .

so when is the start of the big trip ?
 
Can they do axle weights for you? You really need to watch your tires are not overloaded. DOT loves to get you for being over the rated weight on the tires even if you are under on GVW.
