I bought a new TV a few weeks ago. Derek and I took his truck to Wal-Mart to get it. The new TV was quite a bit and was too big for my entertainment center. It was about a week before I could finally get somebody with a truck to help me get a new entertainment system. It was Jason’s girlfriend’s friend’s truck, but all three of them helped. I put the entertainment center together that night and part of the next day and Jason came back after I finished to help me put it into place. It was about another week before I finally got around to connecting my home theater system and consoles to the new TV.

This is when I started having issued. I noticed that there were always horizontal lines on the screen whenever I used one of these devices. I tried different cables (same problem) and I tried connecting my devices to the old TV (no problem). After looking around online I figured that I might just have a bad TV, so I figured that I would take it back and get something else.

Not knowing that he was getting ready to move on Monday, I emailed Russ to make sure that he was still in town. I thought that he still had another week or so here, but I was just trying to be sure. I think I used the word “truck” in the email, but I was referring to his jeep. His response said that he was picking up his U-Haul the next day and that we could use it to return the TV. He had some stuff that he needed to buy as well. So today we went to Wal-Mart in a U-haul to make the exchange. I wanted to get a different brand, but they didn’t have the one I wanted in stock. Right now there is a big gap where my TV should be.

I helped Russ and his roommate load all of Russ’s stuff into the U-Haul, and then we went out to eat later on. Once again it seemed like Russ new everbody in the damn place because they all work or worked at Service Zone. They undercooked my steak and overcooked Russ’s. Jon (the devil’s son) and his roommate joined us a shortly after week got our food. They ended up giving Russ a new steak and cooked mine some more. I had to listen to them run on about Horizons for a long time. I was almost completely lost.

Russ is leaving tomorrow. At this rate, there won’t be anybody left to help me move when it’s my turn. May/June 2005. I can’t wait.
