The Bogard Excursion.

I meant to be on last night, but a chain of events caused me to stay in another city last night with no internet access.

My friend, Bogard, called to see if I could help him load his truck because he was moving out, and into an apartment in the next city over, so I agreed, I thought it would only be a two-hour job.

I told my parents that I would probably be home by 9. It was about 7 at the time.

I get to his house, and he realized that we needed to go to Wal-mart and get a copy of the apartment key made for Sean, his roomate. We were about to take his truck, but his mom had to leave while we were going to be gone, and his little brother was still there, and there were only two seats in thr truck, so we took my car, instead. We get to wal-mart and eveything goes according to plan, I stop and get a little gas on the way back.

We drive back and load the truck, 9 o'clock rolls by, his mom's gone, and we're at his house with him and his little brother.

We weren't even finished loading at 9, so I was going to call my parents to tell them that I'd be late, then he comes up with the idea that I'll just spend the night with him at his house. I call my parents and tell them, and they agree. We get the truck finished, and decide to just go ahead and bring all his stuff down there that night at 11, when his mom got back home.

So we take a 20 minute drive to Johnson City and to the apartment (him and sean are splitting one, and below us, Fletcher and Michael are splitting another... all 4 people are my friends, and we all used to go to Fire and Water together) and meet up with Fletcher, Michael and Sean, the we get all his stuff moved in. At that point it's about midnight, so instead of driving back to Kingsport, we instead just decide to stay there, and since we were already there, we went over to Wal-Mart, about a mile away, and stocked up on kitchen stuff and food.

We get back, and I realize that I had an air-mattress in my trunk, so that solved the bed problem for me. We hung out making the apartment look good (these are my friends, so we have a different style of what looks 'good').

So we went to bed at about 3, and Bogard and Sean had to go to work at 8 this morning, so I decided to leave for home when they did for work.

Now I'm here.
