Good morning friends and pro wrestling enthusiasts. Well, by the time you read this, everything I own with the exception of a few things I’m taking with me in the pick up truck, is loaded on to a moving truck and headed to Kentucky. It’s scheduled to arrive on Monday for unloading at my new little old horse ranch and newly remodeled old house.
Let’s look at our daily pro wrestler tributes:

It's Load The Moving Truck Day
Today you get a somewhat bare bones version of the Daily Chronicle because all of my possessions are being loaded on to a moving truck as we speak. I am coordinating the loading so I can help assist in the unloading so my time today to write is limited. I also have to find a place to sleep tonight since all my furniture including my bed is going on the truck.
If you are interested, I will be posting updates on my trip on my X feed and in the Facebook Group, as well as on Substack.
I will be at my place on Kentucky Lake tomorrow evening and hopefully I will be able to have something interesting in the Sunday Edition of The Daily Chronicle. Thank you to all my subscribers for your loyal support and for all of you who have sent messages during this time of moving from Missouri to Kentucky.
