Storage adventures

Having a very rare Saturday without anything on the schedule, my wife and I stayed in late, then went off to deal with some things we’ve had on our list for a while. (She started by cleaning the bathroom...)
The first was storage. Since we lost Hoops as a practice ground and my wife’s mother died, our normally messy apartment has been an overflowing full messy apartment.
We’ve discussed getting external storage for a while, but finally decided to spend the money on it.
Across the lake in Worcester there is a storage place about half way up the hill. It’s reasonably close, easy to get to and not too expensive.
It is run by U-Hall, and this is their busy time. So, there was lots of waiting while a lot of unhappy people picked up, returned and always complained about the vehicles they were renting.
But, we got a 10x10 storage place inside but not heated or cooled. We should be able to fit a lot of our extra stuff there.
On the way home we stopped at the Sprint store. Our phones do not hold a charge very long. The better of the two only held one 5 or so hours. It has been more then 3 years since we got them and were eligible for upgrades.
The sales guy, Bob, we had was very nice, extremely efficient and able to give us what we wanted: phones without data.
So we got new phones and had all of our numbers moved into the new phones automatically.
I started moving stuff to the storage unit. But, the weather got worse and worse. When I made my first drop off, it looked more like night then 3 hours before sunset. So, I’ll do another run tomorrow.
