Reach For The Stars

Things are moving along now at a pace that is unexpectedly faster than I thought.  I mean it took almost 3 months to sell the RV.  And then poof...sold... time to move forward at almost breakneck speed. I knew in my head that things would go fast once it was sold.  The reality of it is a bit more intense.
  We found a trailer that will suit our needs.  It needs a little bit of work but the roof doesn't leak (its been raining alot here) and the floors are solid. It is mainly cosmetics though so that's really not a big deal. 
We laid out some large cash today. (500 bucks is large for me) New tires all around,  but now we are roadworthy.  It had to be done. The old ones were dry rotted.  Not to mention the new truck tires. Didn't make it any easier to let go of the money though! We are rolling on gold people!!! 
We got all the "road" lights working today....Made the 60 mile trip back to the la casa....still need to work on the clearance lites as there is a flicker in them but things are looking ok. 


The crazy prepper lady will be here tomorrow to pick up the old homestead. I am gonna miss this place.  We had some good times here. But to be honest I am glad to just be getting away from all the BS that goes with living in a highly populated area.  I miss the country. So now we only focus on what is still left to be done to make this new beginning move forward.


Lots to be done for sure.  We have most everything moved into storage except the stuff we have been using daily.  Oh, and the furniture.  We have to get that big ass couch outta one RV into the other. That should be a load of laughs.
  Ever tried moving a full size couch out of a 24" door and sticking it into another one of the same size?  You should try it just for giggles!   I will have nightmares I am sure.  Not to mention all the cussing and moaning while it happens! 
We are loosing about 20 feet of space with the "new" RV so there are still things we are going to have to work out.
  The plan is to get everything that is left in the old place into the new place tomorrow. Anything that we have left here now is essential to day to day living stuff anyway. 
Then on Wednesday (till however long it takes)  we will pull the "new" RV over to the storage and sort thru all that, pack what we need for daily living.  What room we have left we will pack other essentials. Mars refuses to leave his baby tiller, the generator and a few other must have tools. Go figure!

As the idea is to eventually find some land in Arkansas or lower Missouri, we are going to find a "central location" to find new storage. I think they call it "staging"?  LOL  Then we take what we can in that direction and return to Texas for the rest of the stuff in storage here in a month or so.
One UHaul trailer later its all centrally located.  Cheaper rates and closer to the "Prize".  One good thing about all this is that we have been really focused on what we really need to keep and what is excess.  Not much "excess" left. 
Well enough of all this, I'm starting to bore myself.  

Reach for the stars guys!
