A little help moving...

Hello friends,

For those that don't already know, I finally (after well over a year of working on the problemject) sold my house in NJ a few short weeks ago. I believe the normal thing is to go into the closing with a title and keys and walk out with money. Well, I went in with keys and money and title and walked out with nothing. Not quite my original expectation, but it removes an albatross from my neck and thus I am very happy.

I'll be moving my final load of stuff from the house this weekend in a rented Budget truck. Actually there is very little entailed, in the way of quantity or volume. There are two rather heavy items, however, and as such I could use a few hands to assist in pushing and shoving these around, while they are on wheels. These items do NOT require manual lifting, I am pleased to say.

If you're in the vicinity of Orange (beside Grafton, NH for those who don't know) then I would sure appreciate it if you wanted to stop by to assist. I'll have a few beers out, of course, and maybe a bonfire and a few targets, but won't really be set up for a party, not least since I know most folks will likely be heading down to Epsom for the NHLA annual meeting (which I myself may not be able to make, I fear). On that note, look for a message from me sometime soon declaring the date for a long weekend of partying and roof-raising, to be organized for sometime between now and snow -- that will be the fun weekend!

Anyway, if you can make it this Sunday at about 10:30 a.m. then please let me know (or comment here), and I'll tell you whether I have already got enough people or not. If I do, you are of course still welcome to come by and observe Murphy at work. But I really only need 2 or 3 extra pairs of hands, so please don't read this in Keene/Manchester and feel compelled to swing by.

Thank you in advance!!!

Did you really say "roof raising?" Good luck. I am going to be donning cocktail attire and spending the weekend in the least sober manner possible.

I did. Thank you. And, likewise, may I wish good luck to you and your liver.

Thanks!! It was my last hurrah before another major surgery (meanwhile, it was fairly sober, unfortunately).

As you may have assumed, I did indeed survive. This allows my liver to be beaten into submission on another occasion.
