FREE ADVICE

If you are like me and have been collecting "old stuff" for 25+ years and maybe done some welding projects for fun, and you decide that moving is a good idea, DON'T DO IT!! Instead go to your local hardware store, ignoring all laws like you're wife is in labor, and get you about a 4-5 ft. piece of scedual 80 1 1/4" galvanised pipe. Take the pipe to your best friend's, or maybe your brother-in-law's house, and have them thump you about the head and shoulders until you decide that moving is a bad idea. Make sure you keep the pipe too, just in case of a relaps. You can trust me on this, this is first rate advice!!!

They certainly added color to the adventure! Along with the extra $3000.00 over what I estimated it would cost to move and a totaled trailer at the recycle place where I took some scrap aluminum and steel. The guy that unloaded it smashed it with the forklift. Oh, did I mention that I had sold the trailer and had to give back the $? It was certainly and exciting week. We only moved 5 miles and still spent over $200.00 just for gas.

Hey I got one of those pipes already, It works for other crazy ideas besides moving. I should have had someone use it on me a little more often, Rod.

Makes me think of a bar I went to one time. There was a sign behind the bar that read "Pull Tab Vaccine." Underneath the sign there was a claw hammer hung on the wall.
