Alaska Boys - I love 'em.....


So my sofa which got here almost a year ago after much strife and a delay in Seattle (which is a whole other sordid tale) finally just made it to my house. It's the shittiest day imaginable as far as it's windy, probably 35 mph or better, it's in the 20's, but it's high tide and the sun is out, so it is deemed an appropriate day to deliver my long-awaited sofa. Now keep in mind that before the sofa can be brought into my house, my king sized wrought iron sleigh bed must be disassembled and moved upstairs.

That sounds simple, but in my case it involves a chainsaw, and that's all I'm gonna say. I'm still cleaning up the mess. But my bed made it upstairs, and the sofa is now in its place in my home - after a perilous windy boat ride in an open skiff - 16 feet of aluminum between it and the sea - those good old Alaskan boys brought it in, hacked up my floor, moved my bed, brought in the sofa, and were off to their cold boat ride home before I could say boo.

Waving to me, that's the last thing I saw before they blew into their skiff and headed off. I love them for it.....to the brothers Buoy and Kennedy, I love you both.....Jamie
