LOL, right you are, John! He won't be getting as far as the real mtns., but the crosswinds from Cheyenne up to Casper are horrendous and have turned over many a semi and plenty of mini-vans. (Note to self...remind him he can avoid Cheyenne altogether if he takes the cutoff.) Good think about the UHAUL trailer is it will be lower profile than one of their trucks, too.

Sounds as though you did a nice job on the lock-box, too! I think he may have one of those already for all of his tools and there are many, believe me. Necessary, though, as they are of his trade. I will also remind me of the rope, duct tape and garbage bags. I'm sure he's got some of those. He spent ten hours today cleaning out his house and getting ready for a yard sale.

Thanks so much to all of you. He got a better quote on the UHAUL today, so has secured the trailer and is getting really excited to get out of there. Target date is still next Wednesday. His sister is getting excited, too.

Thanks, again,
