Britain Smith
Only a couple of days left here in the Bay Area! I am busy packing up my stuff, finishing things at work, and bolting parts to the car in preparation for my travels up the Oregon Trail! So, I am looking to get some assistance for anyone and everyone willing to drop by and give me a hand. Both they guys here in the bay area that I have know for a while and the guys in the Portland area that I am sure that I will get to know really fast...

Bay Area Folks:
I am picking up the moving truck early in the morning on Sunday, Sept. 25th (this Sunday). Anytime you wanna swing by and help out would be great. I am going to get started early and load up the car and begin loading the boxes, so around 9:30 would be great. I can;t lift it all by myself and I need to have it all loaded up by 5 p.m.

My address is the following:
1659 Starlite Dr., Milpitas, CA

People who have volunteered already:
Mueller (arriving at 9 a.m.)
Midtowner (arriving 9:45 a.m.)
Neo914-6 (arriving at 9 a.m.)
Brent (not sure of time)
kilo123 (arriving at 9 a.m.)
Lyressa Roberts (not sure of time)
jkeyzer (arriving 11:00 a.m.)
trekkor (swinging by at 5:00 p.m.)
Dave_Darling (arriving at 10 a.m.)
nebreitling (arriving 11:00 a.m.)
SirAndy (maybe)


Portland Area Folks (Hillsboro):
I know that I haven't met many of you guys yet, but I ensure you that I won't forget you if you swing by and help me out. It will be just my wife, son, and I traveling up there and I won't be able to unload it all by myself. I should be arriving Monday evening, but I don't know exactly what time it will be. I am hoping to arrive around 6p.m. and unload as much as I can that evening. Everything else I will get on Tuesday. If you wanna lend me a hand, feel free to give me a call on my cell (408) 603-9945 and I can let you know when I am planning on arriving.

My New Address is the following:
Map to 2347 NE 14th Place, Hillsboro, OR

People who have volunteered already:
Rough_Rider (Monday Evening)
Porsche Rescue (Tuesday Morning - 9:30 a.m.)
J P Stein (Tuesday Morning - 9:30 a.m.)
drgchapman (Either)
obaa996 (might stop by around lunch Tuesday)

Porsche Rescue

I think JP was asking if that guy is in the Bay Area or the Portland Area. I believe that he is in the Portland Area.

BTW, it is spelled HILLSBORO!

Alright Guys, tomorrow is the day. I will be picking the truck up early and getting going as soon as possible. Give me a call on my cell 408-603-9945 if you need help with directions.

-Britain
Brent
Looked like I was leaving at just the right time. One of your street possies ( about 10) was rolling down looking for some action. One of the oversized white tshirt wearing dudes was carrying a lead pipe. The neighborhood was nice, but hood rats can be found anywhere. Hope all is ok. Looked like the drama was headed to a house two houses down from Britains.

Thank god you are leaving to Hillsboro. California can suck when adults buy into the thug life.
neo914-6
Larry from SF and I were the first to arrive at 9AM, no Mueller confused24.gif Britain and Angel showed up with the truck, Brent and Eric came in around 9:30, and Lyressa about 10.

Britain, Larry, neighbors, and I got the 912 on the trailer. Many of you Cali's missed seeing Britain's handi-work. Now you'll have to wait until WCC06.

Dave showed about 11 where Eric, Brent, and I had to leave. Hopefully more showed up but most of the truck was filled by then.

Here's what you missed:

The police came by and "had some words" with them. When Britain asked the cops what was going on, they thanked him for having his truck parked halfway across the street--they couldn't have set up a roadblock otherwise because they didn't have enough cars.

Things were much calmer after that...

All the "little stuff" took forever to load up; it was about 4 PM when we broke for "lunch". Jeff Keyser and Bradholio both showed after most'a the rest'a you had bailed out. Lyressa was a trooper; she was there the whole day as far as I could tell. I believe Britain and family are going to check into a hotel overnight, because we packed up the bed and all of their furniture.

I just got home, everything is packed. The truck is FULL to the point where Britain will be spending the drive with some potted plants as passengers. biggrin.gif

Britain said that he is on schedule to leave tomorrow and for the Oregon guys who he has not already spoken to, please call him on his cell if you are able to give him a hand when he arrives.
