grue 1 #1 August 21, 2006 I didn't really want to drive the ~120 miles each way to my DZ to drop off my rig, so I put it into a box and plugged the numbers into a shipping calculator: $23.17 with $2,500 worth of insurance via FedEx 2day to my rigger's house, vs $24 in fuel + 4 hours out of my day. That's crazy cavete terrae. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually thought about that too... but then realized that he wasn't going to need it unless/until he was at the dz...and could probably pick it up there... at least I would guess the rigger goes to the dz once in a while at least...

I put it into the freebag, but the spring was still extended, etc etc. If it were completely packed it'd have been a bit cheaper since it'd have been a smaller boxcavete terrae.

What you dont want is to be freefalling, see his house and think "shit, I knew there was something I had to get". That could really make you day suck. ------ Two of the three voices in my head agree with you. It might actually be unanimous but voice three only speaks Welsh.
