The hitch is installed. It was a pretty straightfoward installation but it was tight, I had to use a floor jack to get it on. The issue was the tabs were just slightly too tight against the frame rails. The wiring was a snap, 2 minutes to install.
We’re looking at trying to hit these waypoints [...]

The peak to peak gondola is open at Whistler in advanced of the Winter 2010 games. I would like to ride this at least once.

When we lived in SEA and moved off to BOS I reminisced about the things I took for granted and never did while I lived in SEA. Now that I am leaving the east coast I can easily think of the hundreds of things I didn’t do while I lived here either.

Today we got rid [...]

It’s not surprising to me that the stuff that sold the quickest (immediately) and still held some value were tools and tool-related things, the air compressor and my tool chest.

I don’t think I got around to mentioning it, but of course the synthetic line I had ordered did show up, and of course, I did install it. I haven’t gotten to use it yet but so far I am really happy with the thimble design instead of the hook. It seems to provide a [...]

What is it, 22 days until departure?
Each time we move, we seem to take less stuff. Once you figure out how worthless stuff really is, the cost of moving it easily begins to outweigh its actual value. It’s no joke, stuff owns you. Get rid of it.
When we moved from MCI to SEA it was [...]
