[GreenKeys] Pete Lancahire Equipment

[Nick England]

I will take most anything M28 related and get it distributed to new homes.
Personally, Pete and I had discussed a BRPE and some M40 gear.
I'd really like those and am happy to pay for packing/shipping if they can
somehow get taken to a FedEx store.

Filing up a POD for the East Coast may be one way to go.
I just got a quote because I have no experience with these things and
wanted a ballpark
   - about $3800 for a 16' container moved from Oregon to North Carolina
including 1 months rent, home dropoff,  transport, and home delivery.

An alternative may be to pay for a local company to move it to a storage
bin until such time as a volunteer can pick it up in a rental truck and
make a cross-country Santa Claus run. With contributions to cover moving,
truck rental, and gas.

We need that matter transporter, Scottie.....

Or we need to win the $550M lottery Wednesday night. My favorite magic
numbers are 14, 15, 28, 33, 35
