[GreenKeys] Equipment

While I do not have the room to store machines (got enough of my own 
stuff to deal with!), I will offer this: I am in Buffalo, near the 
border with Ontario and have a summer place in Ontario that we travel to 
often throughout the summer.  I would be willing to transport small 
(emphasis on small) TTY-related items like a box of parts, or a box of 
paper, or a sub-assembly, or even a small machine like a 26 or 
table-less 15, to deliver along our route which is QEW-407-400-69 which 
covers the GTA and Barrie areas and points north.  The recipient could 
meet me at my usual rest stops or near an exit off the route.

73,

Doug, KA2WFT
