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 of that ilk. 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 (I was a manager for them, but it became a misery-fest and I went back to driving—at least NOW I have time off). 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!!
