reenactorNet: Ack, it's getting old (or is that me??)

reenactorNet

This would be the blog of one Marshall J. Wise or "Marsh" to my friends -- it's "Marshall" to the company or others who know me not. If you are friend, then 'tis Marsh. Anywho, this be just my thoughts and bloviations on life, reenacting, the world and other thoughtless provoking crap. Yes, I am a reenactor, yes, I own reenactor.Net... Remember: work to live, not live to work.

*(and yes, look up the word bloviate on google)

About Me

Name: Marsh Wise

Location: Chambersburg, Colony of Penna, United States

Hmmm, "about me" huh? It's kind of boring. I'm a truck driver hauling U.S. Mail for a Postal Contractor. Reenacting Lessee, I am into reenacting... WWI, WWII and Roman. Doing the first two, I portray a German (no, I don't care one bit if you're offended), in the last, I do a 1st Century Roman impression. I find the Roman Empire fascinating. r.Net I have owned reenactor.Net (the biggest reenactor website on the planet) since 1998 and am constantly trying to make it better (for that, I really need 37 hour days). One good thing about r.Net is it allows me to meet and know a lot of really great and nice people who's knowledge just leaves me floored. How I think... Do you really care about how I think? I'm kind of a dork... If you read the blog, you'll see how I think (or don't think, if you listen to a lot of people).

Ack, it's getting old (or is that me??)

So, now we've taken 3-4 loads (I'm losing count) and more to come. I AM getting way too old for this crap. Making a small dent in the house (not even started on the nightmare that is our basement here)...

A Truck
Probably will rent a U-Haul truck next weekend. Work had offered to loan me a straight truck, but as I think on it, it's 2 hours away and it's cheaper ($39.95) to just rent a U-Haul truck than to drive to Baltimore at 10 mpg... besides, my pickup is acting cranky and has low oil pressure... I Do appreciate their offer, but I think it would be better this way. Besides, it's X-Mas in the P.O. and they need all their trucks.

House is Cool!
I AM quite excited to get the new place. I love it—it's big, it's modern and it's w/ in 2 miles of a Starbucks, so my wife won't need a 40 mile round trip for her coffee. :-) I know, you don't wish to hear me blather about the house... suffice it to say, it will be great.

X-Mas 2008
Hey, so I won't have to be delivering to any P.O.'s this year :-) YAY!!!!!! I'm the middle driver in a "pony express" type run... This won't be a bad X-Mas... If I can just get through the move!!
