NCWoodworker Pony Express (slab of curly sycamore)

[jeff...]

Need a little help, I'm such a bonehead at times. I promised Tarhead I would bring a slab of curly sycamore along with the walnut today and I forgot it :BangHead:. It's 5/4 x 16 x 5' - approx 8 BF. I was wondering if we could use the NCWoodworker Pony Express :eusa_pray to get it to him?

His profile says he in Concord, Cabarrus county.

Jeff,

If anybody could get it to me in Greensboro anytime this week, then my wife could take it to Concord on her way to Charlotte next Saturday.

I'll be going from near Jeff's to Greensboro on Friday morning. I'll get there sometime between 10:30-11:15 and leaving sometime between 1-2. I will be visiting my parents at the Masonic and Eastern Star Home on Holden Ave. I sorta' had planned on stopping by the Greensboro Harbor Freight on my way out of town.

I could meet someone around the High Point Blvd/Holden Ave/I-40 area about the 10:45ish time frame. or at the HF store about the 2ish time frame.

George, is it ok to bring the slab by your shop sometime this week? I can't recall if you have a pickup truck? If so - I would also like to send a little ERC to Mike. Tarhead is it possible for you to pickup from Mike's wife in Concord?

Thanks

I will be home most of the day Weds and Weds evening, not at all on Thursday (I'll be going from 7:30A til after 9:00P).

I have an F150 with an 8' bed so bring it on. If it is raining, it will get wet, I do not have a cap.

Must be that secret sauce

 

[jeff...]

Leg #1 has been completed - Chris, Mark and Mike your goodies are now in the good hands of George :-D.

 

[gator]

Actually not really in my hands, but in the back of the truck. Gee, maybe with the ice expected tomorrow morning, it will get frozen to the bed of the truck and I'll have to keep it.:drunken_s :drunken_s :drunken_s

It will at Harbor Freight in Greensboro about 2:00PM on Friday.

As of 2:00PM, Jan 19, 2007, the cargo was transferred from an F150 to a Forester and Mike Davis took control. There are good things that come from participating in these relays, I got a piece of euculyptus and some antler to play with, as well as a couple of neat Masonic momentos.

That wasn't all that changed hands, you'll have to seek through the forums to find what else.
