how southerners move

Posted by: Scott in: blog, camera practice, current events, family, i heart my camera, just another day in paradise, me myself and i, memories, photography, ramblings, southern by the grace of god, things you never wanted to know, who wants to read this?
If you stick around long enough, I’ll teach ya how we do everything down here in Nascar country.
- …It ended up bein the Clampetts go to Maui!
Cuz you get my family together and there is an empty K-mart somewhere!
They showed up at the airport they were usin coolers and grocery bags for luggage
The sky cap was like “which ones yours? the Samsonite?”
They were like, “no we got the igloo with the duct tape on it and the 5 piggly wiggly bags right there!”… -Jeff Foxworthy
So we’re moving. You already know that. Scott walked by when I was editing these pictures and said “Sure, sure. Make fun of the rednecks.” Nah, seriously we’re not rednecks. I’ll show you more proof on that subject next post. But moving is always cheaper in the south. Seriously. Proven fact. Know why? Because there’s a 95% chance most of your family lives within 20 miles of you. And a 99% chance that most of them have trucks, trailers, and brute strength. So when Scott’s boss offered up a truck to move our storage building contents? Well we jumped right on it. There’s no better price tag than “Free!”
Take a very old…
…very rusty…
truck
Drive it home…
Just don’t count on it cranking right back up.
As an added bonus, it is a dump truck, so we were able to just back up the the porch and dump everything out! Okay okay, so we didn’t really do that. But it would have been cool if we did! And I definitely would have taken pictures and video.

Good luck with your move! I loved these last couple of posts and the photos are great! We’re not southern…but we might be a little bit redneck. Or maybe we just like to think that?! You know, like, you might be a redneck if you haul laundry in the icefishing sled. I almost killed my husband with that one. And here he thought I was all civilized. (grin) That’s ok. lol! If we were close we’d help out…but our vehicles are pathetic right now….
