Old man carrying refrigerator on his back - GIF

[WmRMeyers]

I can barely carry my Golf bag. Very impressed. I really enjoyed the comment that the refrigerator was "empty" - good one !

I had moved 32 times before I turned 18. Then I enlisted in the USAF, and stayed for 24 years. It eventually cured my itchy foot and over-the-horizon fever. Unfortunately for me, SWMBO wants to move back to NW Florida. I now have 4 lathes, 2(or 3 depending on how you count the Smithy) milling machines, a shaper, 3 drill presses (or 4), three welders, etc. I've done a bit of moving. Lived/worked in 4 countries and 7 states. Owned 4 houses, and lost count of the rentals many years ago. I figure about the time I get the workshop here set up the way I like it, I'll have to move again.

With all that experience, you'd think I'd have all the stuff you'd need to move. Nope. Had to go buy some stuff the other day. Shaper is currently sitting on 4 each 270#-rated appliance skates. Only about $12 each at Steve's Wholesale Tools. Was thinking I could make machine trucks, as I have all these machines, and HSM or MW had plans for such in a recent issue, but I couldn't get to the machines. Now I can get to most of them. Hope to have that all sorted in the next couple of weeks, but this process has been on-going for a couple of decades now. NOT looking forward to moving again.
