The first time my wife and I moved I had 2,500 records. After the move I had about 2,000.The next time we moved I again reduced the collection by about 500, as I did the next time we moved... and the time after that.
Now I am down to my desert island 500 and I pray we never move again.

we moved across this microb-burg the same weekend that 6 other friends were moving (well, one couple had split up and got back together and bought a new house...1 couple = 2 apartments to move!). That weekend, beginning on Thursday evening and ending Sunday night, the entire group moved all 6 places to the 5 new ones!Our place was the last...at that time, my wife Barb and I owned about 2500 LPs and a couple thousand books.
A bunch of quite "fit" 30-somethings...4 days, 6 moves! When the last piece of furniture and the last box was brought into our house, one friend took me aside and said, "Mike, we love you and would do almost anytrhing for you...don't EVER ask us to help you move again!"
The move into this house we had almost no help whatsoever...even my kids were of little help (well, the youngest and his friends helped move the big stuff...but the "little stuff is the hard part)! My wife, my sister and her husband and a couple other friends moved the 10,000 LPs and a huge number of books...we're here until we die!
Moving can be cured...burn the house down with all the "stuff" and buy new!
Sleaze the day!

Back in 1976 Mom, Dad, Brother and I drove our 49 flat bed Dodge truck with a home made camper from Mountain View California to Rives Missouri. We had the sellection of records that I have now, 2 crates.
The truck got us there and back but broke down when we got back home in California. Drove about 45 mph, but what fun! We stayed in MO for only about 6 months.
a Steinbeck novel!
Sleaze the day!
