Dear Sharon, Gary, Wyn, Gerald, Joann, Jarrod and of course Tom for
making all this possible,
Thank you all for the valuable, insightful, frightening, humorous and
most of all kind sharing of your thoughts to a newcomer like me.
If I have gotten this all correct, I should buy a shipping container
from a steamship company, store the Caravel for a few months in the
container, have that loaded onto a bigger U-Haul truck and drive that onto a
large flat bed semi that will stop at the top of even the lightest rise all
the way to Santa Monica to check their brakes and have them bring it to my
house where I'll have a crane awaiting it in the middle of the closed off
street to pick up my Caravel and hoist it over the house, back yard and
garage to the spot I invision it going. Of course, I'll demand velvet
covered lifting straps and have coffee and donuts for all involved including
Santa Monica's finest who'll be manning the squad cars at both ends of the
block.
Actually I'll have Marilyn do all the crane supervising as I will have
previously made reservations at St. John's Hospital just a few blocks away
from our place and will be sitting up in bed getting ready to have a heart
attack thinking of all the trouble I'd be in if I were to have gotten behind
the wheel of that 14 foot U-Haul and driven it around the corner from the
yard.
Anyway that was my slightly humorous way of saying that I sincerely
appreciate the information you so willingly shared wit me.
Glyn
