Two more moves after this one and that's it. I'm going to find somewhere to plant some roots.... FINALLY.

Only thing worse than moving is helping someone else move and when you get there they don't even have anything boxed up.

I always had everything boxed up and ready before asking for help.

Yeah, I'm trying to have everything boxed up. Fortunately, most of my things will go into storage, so that will make it a lot easier and quicker.

almost race time.

Preakness has always been my least favorite Triple Crown race. Belmont is my favorite.

Why?

 

[UpstateNYUPSer(Ret)]

I've probably moved 20 times in my life, possibly more. Lol.

I was active duty and haven't moved nearly that many times

We moved once when I was a kid and maybe 6-8 times when I was married. Most of those moves were while either waiting for base housing or when we sold a house and bought a bigger one.

 

[oldngray]

Why?

I can't say why. Shortest and somehow least interesting?

A lot of Derby horses sit this one out.

proud

Is he 18 now

Military you pretty much expect to move every 2 or 3 years.

Depends on your MOS.

PCS moves are way down.

I've been in this house for 7.5 years. I think that's the longest I've ever lived in the same place in my life. Lol.

WAY too much snow there. I'm sure it's pretty though.

The longer you live in a place the more crap you have to throw away when you move.

Hindsight is 20/20 but imagine if those 7.5 years of rent payments had been land contract payments instead.

Throw away? Yard sales are a great way to get rid of junk.

I really hate hindsight. Could have/should have.

My marriage was based on woulda/coulda/shoulda.

Most yard sales end up with unsold stuff thrown away because the people just want to get rid of it.

Yeah, I've owned three houses. It's a long story (that I won't bore you with) why I'm not buying right now.
