                      Highlights of a moving experience

The move went fairly smooth. We didn't get everything out of Condo Conner
(for instance, the Computer Room is still set up and functioning) but we got
most of the furniture (two pieces didn't make it—a shelf unit and a large
dresser that were in Rob's [1] room) and everything left can be transported
using the current vehicles we have.

Highlights of the move: the ceiling fan on the porch of Condo Conner being
hit by Shane's [2] head and almost killing Rob. Rob caught the fan and was
holding it up until someone (me) got a chair and disconnected it from the
electrical system. One more thing to fix up here.

Shane duck-walking the Comfy Chair (which he put on his back) into the
Facility in the Middle of Nowhere [3].

“Did you put all those IBM manuals in here? This box is almost impossible to
move!”

“Paul just picked it up and carried it out here.”

“I'm not here to think; I'm just hired muscle.”

* * * * *

Maneuvering the bookshelf out the Computer Room. To get it out, it needed to
be on its side, only it was too tall to simply tip over on its side. So it
ended up being tipped nearly on its back, then twisted to be on its side.

Fortunately, a passing time traveller opened up a doorway into a convenient
wall that gave us the needed space to finish out the odd twists we needed to
get the shelf out of the door.

I'm moving a matress from the master bedroom to the other bedroom and decide
to use the balcony since it's a straight shot between the two rooms instead
of apptempting to navigate the hallway. I start to move when the matress hits
the screen. I stop. Rob, on the other side, thinks I'm having trouble and
walks towards me, only to smack into the screen door himself.

Moving said bookshelf to the second floor of the Facility in the Middle of
Nowhere. This time we couldn't count on a time traveller opening up a doorway
on the landing in the stairs, so we found it easier to lift the unit straight
up to the balcony on the second floor, and heave it over the railing and into
the room.

* * * * *

Flipping some other, smaller bookshelves and mattresses up over the second
story balcony railing and into the respective rooms.

* * * * *

Conversations with Kurt [4] while riding in his truck between places. It was
unnerving to learn just how easy it could be to introduce biological agents
into the water supply.

* * * * *

Spring [5] and I concerned that George (who is in South Florida visiting
friends and family) would show up at Condo Conner and find no one there (not
even the dog [6]).

More packing, and unpacking for us for the next week or so.

Sigh.
