Really Boring Stuff Only III: Resurrection

[Adam]

Being ignored really sucks

Did somebody say something?

I'm digging this Vitamix. I should have gotten one of these years ago. Granted, I'll stop using it in about a week because that's what always happens...but until then, I'll be mixing up some stuff. I just saw a video where a guy made "ice cream" out of frozen bananas and strawberries - that's it. I might just try that today.

Sad though, guess the father locked the kid up.

I'm almost interested enough to look into that story. Oh, wait. There it goes. Eh, it was nice to feel interested in something, if only for an instant.

I did go to the store to snag stuff to use in the new blender. I didn't get bananas and strawberries, but I did get bananas and grapes. Maybe I'll try that frozen dessert this week. Then again, I also bought ice cream...which has somewhat eliminated the need to make that dessert...

Get some video, please. I've never seen a 20' truck drift before.

 

[Adam]

Btw, best of luck with the move! I hope it all goes really well.

Well I do have to drive through Jersey. Its bound to get a little sketchy.

Btw, best of luck with the move! I hope it all goes really well.

Thanks man. I sure hope it goes smoothly, but I feel like that's a bit of a long shot given all the things I need to pack.

First of all ... congrats on making it out before you're 30. Now your parents can get back to naked gardening.

Take 287 around NYC.

I had a bad experience with uhaul a number of years ago. It seems all the franchise managers were trained or coached to extract extra money from customers for damages to trucks that had previously occurred.

They made it their business to take advantage of people who were busy, tired, and frazzled from moving. They tried to do that to me after I had helped my daughter move while she was in college. They got me on the wrong day. When I returned the truck, I had to argue for 2 hours while exhausted and drenched with sweat. I called the police, and when they actually showed up the manger gave in.

When you pick up the rental truck, do the walk-thru inspection slowly and carefully before you sign for the truck. Note every ding and minor scratch in the paint. Note every dead bug on the windshield. Take plenty of pictures that document the date and time. And when it's time to return the truck, get something to eat and drink before you go. They are trained to take advantage of people who are tired from moving.

I never did business with uhaul again after that trouble they gave me, and I'm only too happy to warn people about them. I've rented trucks from Budget Rental and never had any problems. I hope uhaul isn't still trying to rip people off. Be forewarned, and good luck.

Alex is right. Take I-287 to avoid NYC traffic.

Me, too. I don't remember thinking that it was an attempt to get more money out of me (but it's been almost 17 years), but rather an example of content incompetence that annoyed me greatly. It started with this - they gave me a truck that wasn't fully fueled, but rather only had a quarter of a tank. I mentioned it, the dude just said that it only had to read that much when I brought it back. I figured, "whatever," as I was driving the truck a total of something like five miles. Seriously. I lived by the rental place, and I was moving from one apartment to another one about a mile away. Well...the truck ran out of gas, so they said. Apparently, right after I had parked it at the new place, as it simply wouldn't start the next morning. The mechanic said the gauge was wrong and that they gave me the truck with basically no gas in it. I think that I just told them to take the truck with them once they got it running.

I might be going to T-Mobile. My Verizon contract ends soon, and looking at their available plans...they suck for how much they cost.
