I'm sitting on the side of the road waiting now...but maybe I should go back to where this story started.
Last Thursday I flew from Michigan to Colorado Springs to help my sister move her belongings back to Michigan. We picked up a 26' U-Haul then went to her storage unit and proceeded to load it three quarters full. It was worrying that we had two more locations to go to to get stuff! Although we were able to get the next units inventory in(just barely closing the door) we moved onto the last location. By now I knew we were going to have to repack the last half of the trick since we were headed to a airport hanger storage unit!
Just as I had feared the hanger was full of precious stuff that could not be left behind. We unloaded and using our wits to pack as much stuff as possible, which proved to be far more successful than I could have imagined! But there was what turned out to be, enough stuff to almost fill a 8x10 storage unit. The decision was made to get another smaller U-Haul to move the remaining stuff to my sister previously emptied storage unit. That went well and we called a day.
The following day we went to the U-haul store to pickup a car trailer to load my sisters BMW Z3, which went off without a hitch.
I headed out on a typical Colorado day, winds 30-40 mph fortunately it wasn't a headwind. The trip has gone along swimmingly for 2.5 days. Sure, I saw snow, there was wind and of course rain while I was trying to dodge traffic in Chicago but all on all not too bad.
This all leads me to now, sitting on the side of US127 listening to the flashers metronome like beat waiting to get the U-Hauls tire changed.
