Jeff...I don't know much about the steel containers, but I am glad to see Yoda is right side up. Seeing the pictures of your grandbaby, I don't see how anyone could be stressed after that.

40' standard or 40' hicube?

We import ~35 containers/month of product, so I'll check with my Logistics Coordinator to see if she might know of somewhere.

How far are ya willing to go to get it?

Yeah so am I - I wished life were as simple as a grand daughter / grand pa relationship . I'm learning to manage my stress and doing a lot better at it as I go. I wise man once asked me a question during a conversation about stress "where do you thing stress lives?" that question really got me to thinking, ya know... How would you answer???

I'd probably say in my soul, atleast that's the way it feels. When the soul is happy, everything seems to be going well. But when it's not, that's when the road becomes rocky.
