The Big Moving Day

August 5th, 2006

Today is set to be the big day with friends coming over to help me move. I had to get up a little early and get started on moving. It was a bit of a challenge after having stayed up later than I planned. When I finally did get up I got more boxes moved from inside the house to outside. The from outside to the UHaul. It was a slow process. People were supposed to show up around noon, but most came around one in the afternoon. But once they got there we got packing. It took a couple hours for us to get the desks, big furniture, and other boxes out to the UHaul.

Once we got it full Brad, Dan and his wife and kids, Russell, and Jim all went to Pullman where we unloaded the UHaul at my storage place and the apartment. John joined us at the storage place. We filled up the storage place and filled my room with boxes and other items. The couch was too big to get into the storage unit, and it almost did not make it into the apartment. We worked it for a while before we got it inside.

When we finally unloaded the UHaul, Brad had to go, but John was still with us. We drove back to Colfax. I got everyone dinner at the Top Notch. Then it was back to my place for loading more stuff. We had some electronics and some furniture. But some of it was being used for the Texas Hold’em free roll I was throwing.

I had bought an eighteen pack of beer and a case of pop. Everyone was drinking something and playing cards. The kids had things to play with from their home. We started out the tournament. I was sort of up and down. We had the blinds going up every twenty minutes so we could get the tournament done as quick as possible while still allowing time to have fun.

Jim was the first one out, followed by John, then Denise. Dan and I went to the final two people. I was paying the top two, but first place got seventy-five bucks, where second place only got twenty-five. I wanted to protected as much money as possible. I knew I would be saving some of it because I was number two, but Dan had a huge chip lead on me and we battled back and forth, however, the blinds were getting steep. Pretty soon it hit in such a way that my blinds were forcing me to go all-in. Dan won the all in by getting help on the river.

We then finished loading the UHaul with the remainder of the furniture. They left to go home and I didn’t do a whole bunch more myself. I watched some TV and had some dinner. But I mainly was relaxing from all the work I have done the last couple days.
