Pony express Salisbury -> Pittsboro

[DavidF]

Can Anybody out there help with getting the Delta Miter saw that I have just won on the auction by TracyP from His home in Salisbury to me either in Apex or Pittsboro?

I am away on vacation starting Thursday this week and not returning until Sunday June 15th. I doubt anything could be arranged before I leave (although I would LOVE to get my hands on the saw before I go!) so sometime after the 15th would be great.

Happy to contribute gas money!!

TIA,

David

I'm not if we can pull this off or not, but I"m going to Washington, NC this weekend from Charlotte (leaving Friday). If we can get it to me, and if someone (another NCWWer?) will be around that area when we pass thru ... I think it could work, but might be a bit of a mess.

Thanks Jeremy. Once I get back, I could also arrange to meet anyone at say Greensboro, or up in the Raleigh area somewhere.

Jeremy, I'm in Hillsborough. I assume you will come out I40? I could meet you at an exit this weekend.

If nothing better happens, I plan to attend the next TWA meeting in June and could get it the rest of the way.

What do I need to do to get it to you?

Good question... I'm not sure ... what do now know is that we are for sure leaving Friday -- but we don't know when. Might end up being in the morning so we can take the kids by the zoo on the way over. This means I'd have to get it before then ... and unfortunately I don't think I'll have time to run up there.

Anyone near TracyP coming down into Charlotte (near 77/Harris or 85/Harris) that could get it that leg?

The saw is in the ride that I drive to work every day. I am 3/4 mile off of exit 75 on I85. I will have it with me from tomorrow on. I can meet someone at the exit 75 exchange at any time during the day.

Jeremy on your way back to Charlotte will you have room to take 80lbs of turning blanks that need to get to Tracy? These are the blanks Guy won. I believe there are 9 in total.

Probably so. We have a minivan these days (too cool, I know! :rotflm. I think we are coming back Sunday afternoon sometime.

I bumped it too -- over to the Pony Express Forum with a new title.

Just bumping if this weekend is a go and if I'm involved

I will have the saw with me today at Steve Cole's house. If I leave it there can someone get it to David or hold it till he gets back in town?

 

[ScottM]

If Steve can hold it I can pick it up from Steve and store it. Just a note. Steve does live closer to David then I do.

 

[McRabbet]

IIRC, David works in Apex and he could probably arrange to pick it up at Steve's. If not, I could drop it off at David's on my way back to the mountains on Monday -- I'll be at the BoD meeting later today and David lives off NC 87 just north of Pittsboro (I'll need a refresher on directions to his house).

 

[TracyP]

That will work, thanks.:eusa_clap:eusa_clap

 

[TracyP]

David, Steve Coles has your saw.:gar-Bi

 

[DavidF]

That's great news! I am back "in State" now and will contact Steve by PM today. Thanks SO MUCH to everybody that helped get the saw in the right place.
