I'm here, unpacked (from the truck, no where near from the boxes), and it all went pretty smoothly. Penske rules. Fark U-Haul. Whomever suggested getting a ton of rope (I think CanuckInOR) thanks, I wouldn't have remembered that and it was invaluable. I bought a cheap spool of rope and it was perfect.
Got my first few flights in the past couple days and still can't believe this is my new home. It was 107 f'n degrees today in the valley, not used to that by a LONG stretch. All of this walking around barefoot in shorts and a t-shirt at night is freaking me out.
Thanks again for all the advice guys!
