Moving down the street

 We moved into our new apartment in March. This new apartment is literally 80 feet from our current apartment. It's in a building two doors down. Tom got himself a handtruck and has been going back and forth for a month now. 

He refuses to pay the "move out fee." He's going to do it himself. In 700 or so trips spread out over however many months it takes us to sell the first apartment.

Not Tom, but same sort of
hauling shit down the street vibe

I said to Tom he should just get the bellcart, it holds more. Tom shook his head. He said it would be poor form to take the bellcart from the one building, wheel it fully into the other building and go up the elevator and all.

The doormen in both buildings now think we're insane. Or at least Tom is. How many times can you go back and forth with a wheelie suitcase and an armload of Fresh Direct bags before eyebrows start to raise? 

There are these two guys who smoke out on the stoop next door. I wonder what they thought was going on last week when Tom came cruising down the street carrying my electric bass guitar. Not in a case or anything, just a naked not-plugged-in electric guitar. 

I'm thinking they just watched him walk past hoisting it awkwardly. These guys are usually pretty high so I seriously doubt there was much of a reaction.

Anyway lots of action on our street is all.
