U Haul.. so.... We Haul June 20th

Morning came @ 6:30 as Kyle was up finishing off a job that he worked on through the night. We had to pick up the trailer at 8am in case there was problem with the hitch and wiring. Brett choose to stay and sleep.







Kyle and I headed off to North York at 7:30, picked up a coffee and sausage sandwich alone the way, arriving at Jackie and Harold"s as they were opening up. A couple of old guys with their routine pretty set out. Eventually they took an interest in Kyle and set to work wiring up the van and getting the trailer hitched up.





We were back ion the road by 9:30 and head back stopping at CTC for a pad lock and a cooler. At the apartment, Kyle got his first taste of what I expect will be many opportunities to back the trailer into a parking spot. Very good job for rookie.

Packing and loading began without much fan fair. As we loaded we first thought we were not going to get it all in. When all the big things were loaded, it appeared we were going to have lots of room left over.
The day was turning hot, and we were getting hungry so we took a break and walked down town to the Sunset Grill for brunch. Thomas joined us prior to going to work. Talk turned to when we were going to finish packing, not wanting to spend another night sleeping on the floor and maybe leaving tonight. After brunch, Kyle and Thomas said their goodbyes and we headed back to "working at the mine". It was a great atmosphere with the sun shining, with the sidewalk full of people shopping, lots of vender's and open air pubs, cafes and restaurants.

We worked until 4pm and finally the trailer was totally full and the Van was almost full. Brett was getting pretty bored by this time and wanted to hit the road. Kyle was still not ready as he was still cleaning up the apartment. Brett, om his usually dry manner, said " He hasn't cleaned it in 2 years, why would he clean it now that he didn't live here!"

Finally, we were moving, but not west. First we headed east to drop off the cable boxes. (In Friday 4pm Rush Hour Traffic), Then south to say good bye to his coworkers. ( In 5pm Rush Hour Traffic) followed by a marathon trailer parking exercise. Since we were still in 6pm Rush Hour Traffic, we decided to stay put, eat supper at the Thai Palace then Head out.

8pm and 12 tries to back the trailer back on the road and we were at last Hauling Ass on the Road To Sudbury, one day ahead of schedule.
