Couch moving with the trailer

We're still populating the Campus Bike Project with furniture and ephemera, and yesterday we added a sleeper sofa and a vending machine to the mix. Thanks to Lisa Flenniker & family for the generous donation!

And of course, getting there is half the fun. We picked up the stuff in northwest Champaign with Emily's truck and our new trailer. Here's some video of Carl getting a ride down McKinley Ave. (he did the pulling the second half of the trip):

We spotted an elderly lady paused in the crosswalk at Washington and State and asked if she needed a ride. Without missing a beat, she said, "Yes, to 410 N. Prairie, in the back."

We dropped her off (it was only a block away), and she thanked us and shuffled away, like it was the most normal thing in the world.

After unloading the booty at the CBP, we made a celebratory trip to Custard Cup before moving on to the rest of our evening. 

Thanks to Emily, Kelly, and Carl for help with the move, and also for the pictures!
