Been a while.

I was sick for a while, so I didn't really feel like fixing anything.

In other news, I'm moving from Madison, WI to Federal Way, WA May 1-7. Yes, I'm moving back in with my parents. Current plans are to landscape my dad and mom's places, and find some short term contract work to score some quick cash. Once I have enough funds, I will go traveling.

I'm using U-Pack to ship my stuff. It will run 1500 for 8 ft x 8 ft x 9ft of semi-trailer space. They deliver the trailer, then you pack your stuff in, and install their supplied bulkhead. Then they fill the rest up with commercial shipments (they are associated with ABF).

According to my research, I will get what I paid for:) The trailers are not air-ride equipped, so if you don't pack carefully, things will get destroyed. On the other hand, they sound reputable, and if you account for the fact that they are a commercial carrier in your packing, it seems like a cheap way to move. Here is someones horror story. I think they were foolish... they say on the u-pack website that the bulkhead is not meant to retain your stuff anyway. I plan on packing well and securing the load irregardless of the bulkhead.

Anyway, back to packing.
