At least the motorcycle was undamaged.

Bloodsage had this to say about Optimus Prime:
I now have 16,960 lb of stuff, most in boxes, strewn randomly about my house. And so much for my idea of having the nice sofa upstairs with the home theater; whatever idiot designed the house made it so you can't even get a queen box spring up the stairs, much less a large sectional sofa. It was bad enough we had to hoist them over the second floor balcony rail into the kitchen just to get them in the house.So who's going to come over and help me unpack?
At least the motorcycle was undamaged.
So where are you now?
Oh, and in the movers' defense, we're in a townhouse that manages to stretch a 2 bedroom house to 4--count 'em, four--floors.

Quoth Karnaj:
Modern townhome construction is so infuriating to me. I mean, I get that they're trying to minimize the amount of shared walls one has to deal with, as it's more difficult to sell a unit where there are neighbors both above your and on your sides. Some places my wife's friends live in, though, are ridiculously narrow and tall, to the point of limiting one's options for furnishing the main living areas.And don't get me started on what passes for soundproofing. Blech. Someone pour me a gin.
That's exactly the place we're in. Two bedrooms, about 1700 square feet...on four floors? You have to climb stairs to sneeze.
And trying to get our furniture to work makes me feel like I've been trapped in some bad '80s puzzle/platformer. 
Oh, well; at least we can hear our neighbors' dogs barking constantly, along with the air traffic into and out of Reagan National. 
On the other other hand, we live in Old Town Alexandria, with all the attendant fun and shenanigans within easy walking distance, and the Mt Vernon Trail less than a block away.

The pop density up there would drive me insane, and explains the vertical gerbil housing. Seriously... people are willing to accept that a 15 mile commute to the office in the morning should take 45 minutes (not counting actually getting a parking space)? It did make me glad that they got us a hotel less than a mile from that office...

From the book of Karnaj, chapter 3, verse 16:

Yes, but I've met Abby. You have not met Trigger, the dog who is half-mastiff, half-pitbull and somehow more full of shit and piss than both breeds if they were congressmen.
...unless it's no Abby's pee you're cleaning up.

Uh, if you have a mastiff-pitbull cross, I seriously hope you're doing a fuckton of both training and socialization, and that you've got liability insurance up the wazoo.

Then again I don't own a dartboard, but I have some mighty fine bottles of scotch!

You never know...it's on my list of places to check out in the next year or so. A friend of mine bought a house to retire in near Salt Lake City, and I'm considering the same. Let's hear it for the 16 states that either don't have income tax or don't tax military retirement!

I was going to say we have a rather nice little AFB here as well but I'm sure you know far, far more about Hill than I do

My roommate likes to say he's mastiff-pit cross, but I'm leaning toward the possibility that he is mastiff-dumbshit. He lacks notable pit features (aside from the big fat head) and has more hound dog features.
Plus, Otis kicks the crap out of him most days. He runs up, grabs Trigger's face in his jaws and starts pulling until Trigger cries. It's like a little doggy prison hierarchy.

Yeah, but then you have to live in one of those states. Though I guess Washington wouldn't be too bad.

I'm told the trick is to live near the Oregon border; you can do your shopping in Oregon, which doesn't have a sales tax, yet live in Washington, which doesn't tax military income.

Montana does't do either! ....but Great Falls is kinda alot of Meh. Unless you're a huge fishing, hunting, owning a large gun collection fan, kinda nothing out there 'cept wheat fields and nukes.
