[Hallicrafters] Looking for someone to haul a transformer backfrom Dayton

[jeremy-ca]

Id drive half way myself if there were other items involved in the deal or 
along the way. The xfmr is actually in Cleveland and he volunteered to meet 
in Syracuse which isnt all that far but Id be paying for both our gas bills.

Depending on the load; the van gets 12mpg, the Taurus 25, and 16 for the 68 
Impala SS-396 convertible. I can carry a lot of boatanchors in the Impala 
AND enjoy the ride!

My neighbors fly, own their planes, and one has his own grass strip at the 
farm. Now, if the Feds would open up offshore and Artic drilling AND 
authorize a bunch of new refineries all this year, that would be an option 
in 2-3 years!
