The trek begins...

Yours involves DRIVING TO PENNSYLVANIA IN -16 DEGREE WEATHER WITH A 64' FLATBED (AND BACK).


:icon_thum

Trent, you'll be pleased to know that the deck on the flatbed is only 37', not 64' (that's the bumper to bumper length).

Now if I'd been able to fill up 65' of deck space with tools, that REALLY would qualify for a "swoon"! But, since I only had half the rig that you thought, that's just qualifies as "kinda neat". Therefore, you'd better keep posting some gloats!!! :gar-Bi

Scott was in the parking lot talking to the president elect, and the Grizzly sales rep next to me says: "Hey, that's Scott Smith, but who's the guy next to him?" :rolf:

Yeah, but when Bas came over and joined us, all of the women that worked at Grizzly didn't even notice Barry and me... they only had eyes for the Basmeister! :gar-La; One of them kept referring to him as "stud-muffin" when she was talking with her co-workers...

Besides, the only reason that the Grizzly folks even knew my name was because I told them that I was Travis's friend when I placed my order... Seems that they've heard about this high-roller down in the Wake Forrest area that keeps buying high dollar Felder and Festool stuff.

George, does that mean that I'll get my cast iron polished like yours???

Scott,
All I can say is "u de man." Only a 37' trailer This might be the largest truck load of plunder a NC WW'er has every come home with. :icon_cheers

Bas,
It is totally abnormal/Un-American to visit the bear and come home empty.:eusa_thin

Sounds like it was a great trip ... and you've got a LOT of goodies to unpack now! Maybe you need to host a NCWW Unpacking Party to help uncrate those bad toys!
