Not a great story. Saw it on Craigslist, Sunday night. called got no reply. I am off Mondays so I sent a email in the morning. I did not get a reply until 1pm and the reply is are you local. Well no I was not. So around 2pm. I hear back and get his info. Cool. Bad part he will not be home until 8pm. Well shoot, I need to be at work at 6:30am Tuesday, so this sucks. Well I load up the truck and drive down to Yuma and have dinner with my sister and brother-in-law (thankfully I have family in Yuma). By the time I get everything loaded it's 9:30pm and I start the bonsai trip back to Phoenix. I got back home at 12:30am unloaded the game and went to bed. Tuesday was a long day but it was worth it.

Nice! Great story! At least you have family there in Yuma to soften the trip. It'd be a pure turn-around for me. |

Yea. It gave me time to have dinner with my sister. So it was a plus all the way around. |
