Yes, friends! It's true! I'm one step closer to sleeping in a place I can actually call (sort of) mine.
Two years and two months of living in hotels and other people's houses is soon going to be at an end!  Now all I need to do is buy firniture, and a bed, and an ET system, and drinking glasses, and flatware, and towels, and a vacuum cleaner, and a ......

I don't think that's a problem, he's one squared and organized guy, you could do surgery in his truck! I, on the other hand, didn't even own a couch for years   I finally bought one only because my secretary caught her boyfriend cheating on her and started crying at work-so--- I left. I happened to see a furniture sale at a store so I figured that was a good place to hide til she regained her composure (I guess I should've told her to go home, but I knew her boyfriend and figured that this wouldn't be the last time...)

Two gun cabinets are in my immediate future!  Oh, and no problem on the joke, shipmate! But this shit will be MINE! The ex-Mrs. Zaphod can keep everything (I actually left most of it behind for the girl's sake). I spent more money today than on any other single day in my life, short of buying a car or house. $3300 for furniture and $5500 for the ET system. I'll post pics of that once I've got it set up. 50-inch HDTV, Denon stereo and DVD, Tivo, and Infinity speakers! BHD is gonna drive my new neighbors nuts!

Thanks. Tomorrow I get to buy my bed.
It will be wonderful to sleep in a bed of my own after 26 months of not having done so.... But who's counting?

Don't forget to buy Renter's Insurance. It's like homeowners insurance for the apartment dweller.

Be sure to buy a good bed, not a cheap one. You will spend more time using the bed than the ET. |

Congrads on your new place, but I would concentrate on bring any all bill up to date.
As for shooting hardware, I would start on something a bit more modest, such as a SKS. |

All bills are up to date. In fact, the money I'm spending above is 0% interest for anywhere from 18-24 months, and I COULD pay in cash (in a month or two) if I wanted to. Thank you for the warning, my friend. I've learned that lesson the hard way, but a reminder is always appreciated!
Already have one. M1A is next on the wishlist. Who knows? I may trade in the Norinco SKS and Norinco AK I have to help soften the blow a little.

You think? Got a Serta Perfect Sleeper at Sam's Club for $540. Add the iron bed I got on sale for $300, and I'm still WAY below the $1300 1-800-MATTRES wanted for the damned mattress ALONE. All I need now is some good pillows and a babe.

Man you're way ahead of the game. Personally, I wouldn't trade any of your guns away unless it is for a real good reason, like it's "pointed at your head"  kind of thing. I can guarantee that you will regret it in the future. If it were me, my next move, would be step up from an apartment to condo or a house, preferably a house. I hate those communal-style living quarters. So start saving those nickel and dimes.

Saturday: Moved 90% of boxes from storage to upstairs apartment. Thank God a friend helpped or I'd be posting this from the Other Side. Went to furniture store and ordered furniture. Went to Sam's Club and bought some essentials and mattress. Went back to hotel. Ordered bed and electronics online. Sunday: Went to Sam's Club and picked up mattress. Broaught home and installed (on floor). Went to Wal-Mart for essentials. Went to Bed Bath & Beyond for essentials. Went back to furniture store to add night stands to order. Went o apartment and began unpacking. And you wonder why I'm sitting here posting instead of WORKING?
