Some Men and a Truck

The day after the load was delivered to the barge, of course I came up with another 6 odd boxes to send. I found out while talking about something else with the guy at the UPS store that they could ship my boxes parcel post. I guess they take them to the post office themselves (at least that's what the convo I overheard suggested). Talk about a time saver! I never had to wait in that long line at the PO and the guy even came out and helped me carry boxes from the car into the store! So we shipped those odd boxes plus took 14 garbage bags (!) of stuff to Good Will.

The next day we were ready to move the remains of the Washington household to storage. 

Apparently age has brought us some modicum of wisdom as we are no longer of the mind to think that we can move that piano by ourselves! We also had the bed and dining room furniture and about 20 boxes. The rest is gone to Barrow, or gone for good.

Next job was getting ourselves ready to get on the plane from Seattle to Juneau. Because we had 6 duffle bag suitcases (some clothes, some remaining items), the two dogs, the two kennels, our carry on bags, and ourselves to get on the plane, we put two bags and the two kennels into storage at the airport the night before our flight. That was a brilliant idea since there was NO WAY that load would have fit in the large rental car we'd been using since selling the Prius. Note to self: Large rental cars have REALLY small trunks.
