Nope, I'm in Johnstown actually.

Last year I drove to Reading to get a trailer, and on top of that the last stretch of road was a cow path, or its somewhat paved equivalent, to get to it.

I've got possibly one other option to call on so I'll let you know for sure either tonight or tomorrow. Pretty sure the OBS has the 7 blade, gotta look for sure.

OK. I had issues with a trailer being in front of the house last year for more than 24 hours (just gripey suburban neighbors is all, no cop troubles) so it might not be til Sunday to keep that time to a minimum. I'll tie all that up once I know for sure if I'm coming to get it.

SitRep, if you haven't figured it out, is that I got a local one...lol. Thankfully, boss is letting me take one from here at the plant. 22' long, tilt deck, completely flat (wheels fully below deck). Should more than do the trick.

Pain in the neck is that I'll be paying a storage fee down at Carlisle to keep the thing on the grounds. Best place for it so that it's watched at all times.
