Do we love our components more then ourselves ???


Recently I completed my long expected and delayed move cross country
My household furnishings was shipped via a national moving company.My components was packed ,crated palletized and shipped with a secured and bonded company. 
Because of delays with moving into a new home my household furnishings are in a storage unit .
My components however are neatly placed in a climate controlled room double locked room.
Am I the only audio addicted moron that would put this hobby and its cost before anything else ??
I'm sure many of you have moved and some long distance.What were your priorities //

You are not alone...when i moved long distance from CT to SC my 1st priority was to find a moving company that had experience moving high-end electronics and packing collections of any kind. I actually found one based out of NY and Western CT whose shipping manager and lead estimator/load-planner was an audiophile of sorts himself with Macintosh equipment and Martin-Logan upper-end speakers.  We laughed alot at the fact that of a full truck load, over half of it at the time (I had a 7.1 HT and 2-channel hybrid system so lot's more boxes and platforms) was my system and many boxes of CDs, SACDs and DVDs...I packed the system myself, they packed the collection and we planned the load precisely centered around system componentry and the collections dimensions and weight distribution :-) The moving crew was Georgian (as in after the split-up of the Soviet Union), a group of great guys, and they worked extremely well and took care of what mattered most to me. 

An by the way,...the furniture and all my clothes arrived safely too :-)
