lucked out, no rain at the moment of truth (which was somewhat extended since it took me from 9 to 1 to get a trailer hooked to my pu. most of that time was driving around renton looking for the uhaul place (what- call for directions a 2nd time? no way!)



the car was still parked in front of the strip mall, and i managed to get it out of the spot and headed down the hill with the help of a few hs kids. rolled it right up the ramps and onto the trailer, and then chickened out and slowed it down. i had to push the rears over the ramps on the back of the trailer, there is that point just before the tires go over center when you wonder if your guesstimate is right the the car won't gather enough momentum to go over the stops and into the back of the pu....thereby gaining you five minutes of internet fame and pics that your kids will drag up at every family function..



anywayyyy



hey, look what is following us home!
