    Weird Coincidence

    Driving into work this morning, I was several car lengths back behind this GMC Sierra truck. In the back was a large box. It was blue. The gears started turning in my mind, remembering bringing home my BT3100 last December in the back of my Rodeo.....ALONE ! Getting that out and into my garage was a pleasure.....haha.

    As I got close to the truck, I saw sideways writing saying 3100.....then I could make out another letter.......T3100......

    This guy had a BT3100 in the back of his truck. I honestly couldn't believe it. What are the odds ? I almost wanted to flag him down and talk woodworking with him but I thought he might file a restraining order or just shoot me on the spot....haha.

    Just thought that was funny and wanted to pass it along.

          Well, get this:

          I drive a '00 Mustang GT, and I got the box out and into my car from the BORG, then I got it to my apartment from the complex parking lot (maybe ~40 yards). All of this was done alone, and with my bare hands.

          I then went to HF and got a hand truck, as I am never doing that again in my life!

          As for getting that giant ~115lbs box home in the Mustang, I think I deserve a medal or something!

          LOL

              actually, you probably didn't have to struggle w/ that unwieldy box. thanks to some helpful tips from people on this site, i learned that the various parts and pieces (there actually aren't that many loose things) could be removed from the box and loaded individually into a car. everything fit in my little '93 mazda protege.

              still, jonathan, i think you deserve that medal.

                  Hey, we all know the medal would not be for intelligence, just for determination/chutzpah!
