      Go go go. Can I borrow a cup of your tenacity. Well I am getting a bit faster on the wheel. But I get too many distractions. And bouts of apathy.

  4. Mark C.

      Hmm I just arranged a u haul truck for one of my clients last week ... recall that a 20 ft truck holds like 14 tons. Rental was only $39/day and 69 cents a mile ... you would probably pay for it in trips save?

      (we needed a little more cubic feet so for like $30 rented a cargo trailer that we pulled with the truck)

      I think renting a truck would be worth it!

      Most of my outlets found me a long time ago.One was 40 years ago the new one is 15 years ago.I am approced a lot but turn down most as I cannot service them well.You can only do so much well-I leraned long ago not to over commit.I have a few hobbies really.

      Marko

      I guess that means I might get found in 40 years. That would make me 100 years old, lol, oh well.
