My best advice: Take two Advil or aspirin (but not both) before you start doing any lifting. Also, do some gentle stretching exercises for five or so minutes prior to putting the boxes in the truck.
Drive safely and take a break every four hours just to stretch the legs and such.
I usually clock about 6 hours +/- from Knoxville to north Indianapolis. Assuming you're going I75-275-74... the only part of that trip that might be dicey for a box truck is the construction zone north of Lexington (several miles of 2 lane/no shoulders). Also watch the ramps from 75 to 275, and 275 to 74-- they're tight, take it easy!)
NWS says rain moving in, starting about midnight tonight in Indy, about 3 am in Cincinnati. Temps will be warm - highs Sunday in the mid 50s. Sunday night gets colder - 30% chance of snow Monday.
If you ladies could use an extra unloader Sunday, email "oldgrouch001 -ta- egix daht net". Welcome to Indy!
If you're comming far enough to visit Breda, SWMBO and I are on the way, Stop by Amherst, Ohio , and We'll buy ya a piece of bloody cow and few Cold Ones.
Nmmmmmm....dip....dip....Mmmmnnnnmm.... Bump ba deeda bump ba deeda bump ba deeda bump ba deeda....Happy trails to you....Until we meet again....Happy trails to you....Keep smilin' until then....
Very frickin' slowly. (She was leaving hunt camp to go back to work.)
That said, given her level of interest in the tactics and mechanics of driving, I feel pretty good about her staying in the slow lane and making Indianapolis safely.
(Oh, crap: she's towing the Zed Three from an underpowered, overused, undermaintained, oversized unfamiliar vehicle.)
Scroom. The rest of 'em can jolly well get out of her way. ;)
Lift with the legs, not the back
ReplyDeleteGlad I'm on the opposite end of the state from all that manual labor.
(Actually, I'd love to help, but I got my can full of moving when I was in the Government Canoe Club.)
Good luck with the trip, hope it goes smoothly.

Bon voyage!
Are you going to change the name of the blog to "View From The Attic"?
ReplyDeleteDrive safe, Tam - and now that you're going to be in Yankeeland, consider yourself and Roberta invited to the brewery.
Have a safe trip, Tam.

Have a safe & speedy trip. I'll keep the oven on standby.
ReplyDeleteGod Speed...
ReplyDeleteI was still in Indy I'd run down to help, but Phoenix is a bit far. Have a safe trip.
ReplyDeleteFair winds and following seas, Lady!
ReplyDeletePlease make it known that it is they who talk funny.
ReplyDeleteHappy landings from one of the few who could eat soup off your head :)
ReplyDeletesafe travels, you fabulous thing!
ReplyDeleteIt's 106 miles to Chicago. We have a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses.
ReplyDeleteHit it.
(Or words to that effect. We'll see you on the flip side, Tam.)
Yes, drive carefully.
ReplyDeleteWe'd all just hate to lose our mistress of snark.
Moving to Indiana is no excuse not to post the Sunday Smith!
ReplyDeleteGodspeed!
God speed...
ReplyDeleteDrive safe, Tam...and remember that everyone else on the road is an idiot, and will do the dumbest thing at the worst time!
ReplyDeleteI have seen Tamara drive.
ReplyDeleteGrudgingly.
Up a sandy embankment.
Very frickin' slowly. (She was leaving hunt camp to go back to work.)
That said, given her level of interest in the tactics and mechanics of driving, I feel pretty good about her staying in the slow lane and making Indianapolis safely.

I'm sleeping soundly tonight. :)
Don't forget to take the penny off the porch rail...
ReplyDeletewell folks tam's pulled out of driveway and is going over to bobs to hook up the trailer and load the Z-car up. So she's headed to Indianapolis.
ReplyDeletepward
Hey Tam!
ReplyDeleteHave a safe trip!
Remember that slow is smooth and smooth is fast.
BTW, I got some good news. :-)
More by email.
Be safe out there, Tam.
ReplyDeleteWatch out for The Other Guy.

If you become an Indiana resident you can get a lifetime ccw. :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Tam!
ReplyDeleteAnd... since WHEN is Indiana YANKEE territory? I always thought that you had to be from New England to be a yankee. (or NYC, for you baseball fans).
Indian-no-place?
ReplyDeleteGood lord ... why?
Must be a job offer.
Are you there yet?
ReplyDeleteAre you there yet?
