Taking the last item out of storage<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I helped my son empty out his storage unit in Ocala last week and move it all to his new rented house in North Fort Myers – a 3-hour trip each way. Add in about 3 hours of loading and unloading the U-Haul truck and what you have is a very <\/em><\/strong>long, exhausting day. His sectional sofa and king-size mattress were particularly heavy. It was bad enough getting them from the storage unit into the truck, but it was far worse getting them out of the truck and into the house as we had to navigate 7 steps. Not fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had the “honor” of driving the one-way U-Haul rental from Ocala to North Fort Myers. I have to say that the truck ran very well and had more acceleration than I expected. It also got fewer mile per gallon than I expected – just about 9. About the same as my truck when hauling my much heavier 5th wheel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The truck was rented from a feed store that doubled as a U-Haul rental place. For those of you who don’t trust the COVID vaccines but think that ingesting an animal de-wormer is safer… they have Ivermectin in stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
