Wanted to update you on where I am. I finally got the truck loaded....full to overflowing & that is only about 1/4 of what I have to move but at least I have that now.

It was taking forever to get the truck loaded (9 days). I didn't have enough boxed because of lack of space in the house to put boxes, I kept thinking "today it will be packed". Sooner or later, I knew the truck had to get filled.

Once I got it filled, it seemed little things got in the way then. My CD player didn't work (truck didn't come with one). Had to get new plug in, then found out I needed a new CD player. Then I needed to get a seat pad to make the seat softer. 5 days of driving...I need a softer seat. I went to 5 stores before finding a soft seat pad. Then when I tried to push the ramp back in, it wouldn't budge. Called the place where I rented the truck & they sent me to roadside repair. Found out the frame was bent & they tried to pull it straight....it took a welding tourch to head the metal enough to bend it back. That was a good 2 hour job. By that time, it was too late & just decided to leave the next morning.

Then came this morning. Got up very very early & got ready. Everything going perfect. I got a bit sidetracked while showering. One of my eskies loves to play with my & threw his play toy into the shower with me. I decided to try taking photo's of them with my cell phone. Oops, the I lowered the cell phone battery too much. I decided to set up my car charger for the phone & had problems connecting it. Fooled around with that for awhile

I finally got away.....actually still early in the day. I made it all the way to Flagstaff where I am staying the night. Will update more as the trip progresses. Plan on a long driving day tomorrow, so will sign off.
