Out of my hands

The boat is officially on its way to Miami, let's keep our fingers crossed that it makes it there in one piece. Right now it is actually headed north to New Jersey where it will change trucks and then start right back south, all the way to the Sunshine State. The folks at Forward Air were very nice (I talked to the fork-lift operator for awhile and got the inside scoop on how the freight industry really works) but I can't give them my endorsement just yet until I see the condition that it arrives in on Saturday.


Follow the pictures link at the top to see what today's quite extensive packaging process entailed - THANKS MOM!


I'll tell you what though.....I didn't make any friends today on I-695. I had to drive it down to their shipping terminal at BWI during rush our and it was bouncing even more, wrapped up, then it usually does so I was going like 40 mph, tops. I got a lot of stares, a few honks, and a couple of fingers. If you're curious, the pink material is just pre-cut carpet padding from The Depot. There's bubble wrap on both ends too all held on by about 2 full rolls of both duct and packing tape.
