Winnsboro works for me as well. My final lookie-see is the #3 property just west of Pittsburg on 11 between 4:30-5:00, so I can just head west on 11 to dinner with y'all. I can touch base by cell to let you know how things are going time wise, but I would guess best would be to plan for dinner around 6:30ish. Hope you can make it @Ferguson K !

That sounds perfect! 
We haven't eaten at Richie's for a while, so this will be a huge treat!

So now for the start of the moving fun. Not even considering a typical moving company as that would run me close to 10 grand. Contacted PODs and they want almost 3 grand ($2892) for a 16' pod. Then called PACK RAT and they don't deliver their "pods" where I'm moving so they forwarded me to their trailer drop connection. They run 28' trailers and you rent space by linear foot. For 17 linear feet of trailer would cost $1950 for the move. They charge $80/day for storage for the first 5 days, then $600/month after that. I'd get 3 days to load here and 3 days to unload there with 3-5 days transit in between and a 2 day grace to schedule delivery once it arrives in Texarkana.
I figured they might be an after market piggy backing on a major truck shipper so then contacted Old Dominion freight (OD) and they quoted $1527 for the same basic stuff as packrat, and they only charge $50/day for storage. Or I can rent the whole 28 foot trailer for $1846... A hundred dollars less than packrat for the 17', and I can reserve a trailer as close as 2 days from trailer drop date. I think I know which I'll be using.
Both put up a partition behind my stuff with a seal to ensure nobody tampers with it and insure for up to 10 grand. Since my lender is claiming they need 8 days to close, this actually works out pretty well to give them some extra time (NOT 8 days! but xtra) and gives me plenty of time to pack and unpack the trailer at both ends.

I'll be starting my drive here to pick up #1 daughter in about 3 hours... So is it Richie's where we'll be meeting for dinner tomorrow evening? If I don't get word, I'll text you @Devonviolet or give you a ring on your cell tomorrow afternoon some time. Really excited that I'll get to meet @Ferguson K and her DH. Hope you folks can make it! Still shooting for dinner between 6-6:30 ish?
