Oi. 

Packing a truck in August heat is brutal. Been at it since 10am with lots of breaks. Help is coming in about an hour and it should wrap up pretty quick after that. 

I'd say at least 80% is loaded. Got some more smaller items to go, then its just the heavy stuff that there's no way I can help with. 

Hopefully we'll be on the road around 6 and then stop by 8 and find a hotel. I need a damn shower. 

You're leaving tonight?  Why not?  Shave off a couple of hours.

She'll be a closeted FSU fan. Lights will be off, shades will be pulled, sound will be routed to headphones, shouting will muffled by pillows all so the neighbors don't find out.

Nah, that ain't our @kbois. She'll fly that FSU flag on her front porch for the world to see and dare anyone to say squat about it. 🤣

Now if she squares up against the Bruins, Celtics or Red Sox, well let's just say she's gonna have problems.

Noles..... all the way.

Also... I was watching the game with my brother who went to MIT (yeah... smart ass overachiever lol) when Doug Flutie made his hail Mary pass.

You can always tell him "You only went to MIT because it was the only university you  knew how to spell"

You do make an exception for the best sport on the planet right? Hockey!

And of course the best team on the planet the Tampa Bay Lightning?

Hockey played on the correct surface - grass, of course - is an acceptable sport but the greatest on the planet is CRICKET 🏏 

sorry to mention sport @Mikiesboy but I had to put @Brayon straight, as it were.  Where else in the world could a five day match, six hours per day, end very often in a draw?

Nope ... brief mentions of how happy you are or sad you are is okay. 

If you want to talk about sports at length... i opened this topic for you who are interested in such a thing...  

 

[Mikiesboy]

All this sports talk made me forget It's Saturday!  Have a good one. 

And it is also World Honey Bee Day…be kind to these little heros and grow bee friendly plants in your garden if you're able…

Ah, i didn't know anyone cared that much about me. Thanks, Gary.  But once upon a time, they gave Signature authors these places if they wanted one, so it's my responsibility. I'd be popping in to make sure no one is getting too wild and crazy in the Sports section… LOL   But sports are kinda like politics, not everyone wants to talk about it. 

i mean, if anyone but me wanted to talk about knitting or horse stuff, i'd open a topic for that. i can bore people senseless talking about those things… lol   Hmm, that's a good idea ... i can post pictures of my knitting stuff there and torture no one. LOL

That's alot of wool, you'll knit/crochet some lovely stuff out of that. I love some of the colours, they are nice and vibrant.

When did he leave?

[kbois]

We've decided to knock off early tonight and bite the bullet and go through DC & NYC tomorrow. It'll shave almost 2 hours off seeing how its a Sunday. 

We got about halfway through North Carolina. Not too bad.

That's normally @kbois job. I'm sure she really appreciates you stepping in and being the disciplinarian while she's getting moved. He'll try and con you into lightening his sentence using those sad hangdog eyes, but don't fall for it. If you cave, he'll resume being a little terror.
