Have you tried 'U-Ship"? Or what about breaking up the shipment into smaller boxes?

uShip - The Online Shipping Marketplace - Ship Freight, Furniture, Cars or Moves

Interior panels (plastic) from around the rear wheelwells (¼ panel style) takes that much room. Could ship the rest of the stuff in a smaller box. Heard of that U-Ship before, saw it on TV when I was in Ind.

It took the rest of the day to locate all the pieces and get it bolted together, but here we go. One 362W, ready to get delivered first thing tomorrow morning. I missed out getting it delivered today.

Looking sharp Alan!

Well - I started taking today off but when the wife's doctor couldn't get her in until tomorrow, I high tailed it to work to save a few leave hours. I had only been there less than an hour before I was wishing I had stayed home. One teacher doesn't agree with the rules I laid down Friday and is determined to whine me into submission. I don't like being manipulated to begin with, but whiny manipulation just ticks me off.

My wife is doing better today thank goodness. My poor children had to wait until Dad got home and figured out what we were having for dinner. I hope they appreciate everything she does for them after this.

You might call greyhound about your shipping issue. They can haul pretty big stuff and are usually very reasonable.

Larry. Great idea about Greyhound. I forgot all about that. If they have enough space on a bus going that direction, shipping is usually pretty cheap.

Evening all. I just got home from another 4 hours in the ER - Mom this time. She accidentally double dosed herself with her pain meds so at about 7ish I was headed back to the ER to make sure she'd be OK. She's been taking them for so long that they figure she can tolerate them better than the average Joe. She's at home now and I left my oldest there to help keep an eye on her. She's going to crash out in the living room so he can wake her up if he needs to.

I need to head off to bed - I'm supposed to be at work in a few hours.

If anyone is interested I hope this link works. It's just some video of last years tough truck race in Miami Oklahoma. It has camcorder footage followed by GoPro footage of the same run afterwards.

Good late morning to all!

This smacked *** with the engine managed to tick me right off this morning. He's supposed to be open at 0800. I showed up at 0815 to unload this engine. I left at almost 1000 and NO-FRIGGIN'-BODY showed up there today. WTF??!! Now it's not worth me going to RC's place because I wouldn't get there until lunch time by the time I got this damn engine out of the back of my truck again.

So, RC. I have a doctor's appointment for my back tomorrow. I guess I'll see you bright and early Thursday.

.....stupid, inconsiderate people **** me off.
