So by the end of March I’m getting ready to leave Las Vegas. In one day I managed to pack up everything I still had, loaded it into/onto Wes’ pickup and into the Blue Roo (formerly known as the POS). It was loaded all the way to the gills. I didn’t realize I still had that much stuff. I drove the Roo up onto the U-Haul trailer. This was great, unfortunately it was a tactical error. That’s because I didn’t realize I should have put down the fender on the trailer prior to driving up on it. This was an important point because the door wouldn’t open over top of the fender. I ended up climbing out the window (good to know I can be a Nascar driver if needed), lowering the fender, opening the door, climbing back in, closing the window, getting back out and locking it up. What a pain in the ass, but at least I was now ready to roll.


The drive up was fairly uneventful. I dropped the Roo off at Greg’s and he ended up driving it up to Mom’s. This gave Wes’ truck a much needed break. You’ll have to ask him about his adventure driving it up, perhaps, just perhaps, he has a new appreciation for the Roo.
