As a reward for finding a cheap 55" television for my landlady on Craigslist, and helping move it, we're being given the smaller-but-still-larger-than-ours TV it'll be replacing :>

The only downside was when I ripped a seam out of the slacks I was wearing while loading the TV on the truck, from my crotch almost to my knee. So before I went looking for neighborly assistance to unload the truck, I had to borrow a pair of sweats.

While waiting for the sweats, I had a brief vision of me walking, as-is, from door-to-door on our street and asking each occupant, "Any kids in the house who want to make a few extra bucks?" .. but I figured I'd be talking to the police before the third door.

After putting on the sweats, fortunately, the first neighbor I talked to was able to help unload the TV. (I must take a moment to sing the praises of the Forearm Forklift straps sold at U-Haul. If only they were a bit longer. And not both the same color). Afterwards, we compared notes on our duplexen (which were apparently built by the same company), and agreed to share information, as we dig it up, on the drainage system they may share.

So overall, it was a productive day :>
