I'm trying to get some stuff from Richard and we're not sure Fastenal will be able to ship it.  Biggest thing is a fiberglass bonnet for a Sprite.

We were planning to go to NM this spring, but with gas prices that's looking doubtful & the kids are moving to CO in June, so unless gas prices drop ~$2/gal suddenly that's probably unlikely to happen.

Of course if it can make its way near me I'd be glad to hang onto it until we can work something out.

I'll have to look into that but I assume it's to big.

If you can find someone to get it to Denver, I can store it.

I've not had the best experience with Greyhound shipping to Reno, NV, although it may have had something to do with the shipper only packing the item bomb-proof and not "dragged through a warzone by a technical for target practice"-proof.

I'll be out that way a few times this year, but unfortunately I'm flying out there so all I could transport is stuff that would probably fit into an easily shipped box.

Damn. I need some big stuff from Reno to go the other direction.

What about the Fastenal shipping program?  Build a pallet big enough, strap it down, and they might take it.

Apparently they have regions and won't ship between regions.  I just got back in town so I'll get with Richard and see what we can figure out.

I want to take this, but my roof rack and interior will be full up already.

I totally understand.  I went into this saying there's no way anyone would be stupid enough to take me up on this.
