chose to bring it up to her home in connecticut via a pick up truck this past saturday because doc is in town and could help with the loading and make the journey with me. reserved the local pick up thru zipcar. loaded the love seat and secured with bungee cords thanks to netter's containment strategy. drove 65 miles to connecticut. unloaded the love seat into clare's apartment after getting it lodged in doorway and realizing the wooden peg legs were removable. always helpful piece of info to have in this situation.
left clare's pad and drove into the metropolis of danbury, ct. decided to purchase a christmas tree at the local lowe's store because they were an exceptional cost savings in comparison to the tree seller on the corner of 96th street. loaded tree in truck and secured with bungee cords. shopped at target. ate at mcdonald's. and listened to a CD clare made me at least 3 times because the auxiliary cord was broken.
pretty pleased with myself that i was able to transport a large furniture item via a pick up truck i don't own and everything went smoothly. you can't see it as it happens, but i'm currently patting myself on the back.
notice the different terrain between photos...any guesses as to which was taken in NYC and CT?

So fun to see Doc on your blog. Hope you have a great time together! congrats on the move and the deal on the tree. We get ripped off here in LA too on the tree. Even though i have a car, I'm still not driving a long distance to get my tree and drive it on the freeway strapped to my hood. So, I'm beholden to the dudes on Beverly Glen and Santa Monica Blvd. Pricey.
