10:12 – Barbara wants to move quickly on relocating, which means we need to schedule a couple more day trips up to Jefferson for research and reconnoitering, followed eventually by a week-long trip as a final check before we make the jump. And I have to plan and stage everything to minimize disruption to the kit business, which is going to mean building and transporting a large number of kits so that we can ship from either location until we finish the move.
That also means I need to replace my 22-year-old Trooper with a 4×4 pickup truck with a trailer hitch. We’ll hire a moving company to move the furniture, but we’ll move a lot of our stuff ourselves as we gradually transition from completely here to completely there.
For the time being, I’ll also stop adding to our stored food. We’re at 2+ person years as it is, and the last thing we’ll need is more stuff to move. Once we’re up there, I’ll make a couple of more big Costco/Sam’s Club/LDS Home Storage Center runs with a trailer to finish stocking up. After that, we can depend on local supermarkets, the Walmart Super Center, the farmers’ market, and so on.
More kit stuff today.
