For some reason-this is trending on twitter

Do you need any help moving stuff in?

Unpacking?



...you know, unpacking certain things that need unpacking and maybe chilled for a bit...

This Mitsubishi SUV (literally the only SUV rental I could find available here in town) is filled to the gills with beer. My biggest fear right now is being carjacked on our way out of town or getting rear ended along the way haha.

And hopefully a one-way rental like that wasn't a small fortune.... my dad and stepmom are retiring to Florida and were saying it'll cost $2k just for a UHaul and gas and it was like $4k for movers. :eek: (granted, also half way across the country).

Phoenix might hit 100 for the first time this year early next week, so you're just in time. :D

Yeah the move is a small fortune but due to my broken leg we sprung for a full service move. So they packed our entire house yesterday and will load it up today. Think we came in at just over 10K lbs. Plus they're transporting both our vehicles since I have an older Jeep and the wife a small sedan.

The rental wasn't too bad pricewise. Enterprise was around 3K for a week but I found a National for much less. The trade off was that its a very small National, like a one terminal satellite location downtown. Since I rented it through a vendor discount at work, I had to be present to rent. I can't drive yet, so the wife and I drove downtown to pick it up and planned to leave our car down there and she would Uber back for it later in the day. Of course there's no place to park downtown so I reserved a SpotHero space in a nearby parking garage for $17.

Then entire process of picking up the rental car took 2 hours. So typical moving day shitshow. But at least they had an SUV at a somewhat affordable price compared to others.

I mean, as long as the beer makes it...

At least it didn't have to be an airport rental... I've tried to go out of my way to rent from other places (but often they're open like 3 hours a day and never when you're flying in) since they're so much cheaper.

I've only used movers once (company paid to move here, think it was $5k) and it was pretty great... they even packed most of my stuff due to insurance and didn't break anything.

Good luck and if you do need any help, let me know. I'll even bring a housewarming beer or two. :)

Similar to a Bourbon County Stout

Fremont's beers are great.

The owner of Alma Mader here in KC was the cellar man and blender of the barrel aged beers at Fremont for several years. His barrel aged beers are coming soon here....can't wait.

They were on my list to try last time I was in KC, but nothing stuck out at the time... and I also kind of fell in love with Oak & Steel.

Seriously on point... drinking a cinnamon roll.

One of my favorite IPAs and brewery spaces here in PHX.

I'm likely to get super annoying with this buddha statue. We drunkenly joked with our realtor that we wanted it to stay with the new house. Turns out it weighs 1000 ****ing pounds so we'd need a crane to remove it.

Anyway, here it is holding a Revolution VSOR b2 which is tasting great.

That's ****ing awesome.

ROFL

We took a dip in the pool between games. No drinks for me on the sabbath though.
