I was very seriously considering driving out to pick it up, and trying to see a number of you good coastal folks while I was in the "neighborhood".
If the timing had been a little different I believe I could have talked my wife into a 10 day vacation to drive out west as she likes looking at the mountains, but alas work again interfered with my desires. At least I will be able to attend Grandpatractors GTG this weekend before heading over to see Belgian the following weekend.
As it turns out, the nice lady in our traffic department arranged everything including the bill of lading and sending the truck to pick it up. The traffic department kept me posted every day where it was along the way and apologized when it did not arrive on Monday.
I was humbled by their assistance and attention and it was pretty painless, until the amount gets removed from my next paycheck, then my wife will really scream. Sometimes traveling for weeks at a time is a good thing.
