Hey folks,

this is the follow up to:

I am planning of picking this beast up on the 19th (sunday) - somewhen during the day, my 'hatchback' (insider) is far from capable of loading this. Let alone stand and canopy together with it.

So, I am asking my fellow ARC'ers for some muscles and a truck ride - I'll have plenty of beer and pizza to "compensate" - and of course the gas for the truck.

The tank is located in Buford and I need it hauled to Powder Springs.

Many people offered help already in the other thread - but to make it easier I started this one.

Anyone on the way from Powder Springs to Buford can get picked up and brought back home.

Let me know please - I need to let the seller know if I can hold that date by this sunday.

Thanks to all,

appreciate the help!

Robin

Down on the southside but will be glad to help

jt

i can bring a van that i cared my 224g tank in 72"/24"/30" in its lower to the grownd then a pickup with makes life easyer i will check to see if i can fit your tank in it or i know it will hold the stand

Isn't that the same day as Tim's Frag workshop? I'll check and see, otherwise I'll be available after 1pm......

Yep, same day.......

I've already RSVP'ed to Tim, so I wont be available. My apologies Rob.

(Since the back surgery, I'm not nearly the work-horse I used to be anyway)

I'm out for the 19th. Have plans to go dirt bike riding with the boys.

Maybe, too early to tell, will bring truck and meet on the way orr in buford. just closer for me... we can talk at the meet...

If you do it after 4. I will drag my lazy butt and help you. lol. Just hit me up with a PM and/or time. I got work in teh morning tho.

Remember, I said I'm in... if the van falls through I can truck it.

PM me the time and directions and I'll see you next Sunday. (can't get the day off work so i can't make the April meeting)

I sent some PMs today - thanks to everyone that offered help.

Plans are for sunday at 2pm in Buford and a haul with a rented cargo van and Dellomans van to bring everything to Powder Springs where beer and pizza will be waiting.

We can never habe enough help - the more the merrier.

Thanks folks,

Robb

Okay,

Currently we have:

Delloman (meet in Buford and brings van for stand/canopy)
cr500_af
tgray3
jt955
grimreefer (Meet in Buford)
christopherjay (pending)

Anyone coming for the south is more than welcome to come to my house and we can take my car.
PM me for the address, please - we should leave here at 12.30/1pm just to have some time to play around with.

I'll meet you at the Robb-erosa.

Casa della Finke, por favor

Si, si, lo siento.

If its cool with Barry and I can carpool with him there and back I can help also..

Thanks Doc,

see you with Barry at my house!

No problem at all, Ansley. I'll pick you up if I need to.

LAWLS... I think I can make it down the road 3 miles..well maybe not..hahaha

Hey Robb, don't forget that I have a truck and if anyone on this side of town wants to meet at my house around 1:30 (I'm 8 minutes from Buford), I have room for 3 more people in my truck (we need more people:yes:).

LAWLS... I think I can make it down the road 3 miles..well maybe not..hahaha

Just thought maybe it'd be easier for ya.

Im just messing with ya.. It would make more sense to do it that way..

Parking's tight here anyway with that big roll-off dumpster in the driveway.

Doc,
OK to leave @ 12:00? That will put us there a little before 12:30 so we can mooch lunch off of Robb. :)

Tracy,

thanks a lot, I am heading to the rental place to check out their vans tomorrow.
The low loading height could be beneficial.
I will let you know tomorrow!

Thanks to all.

Sounds good to me!

Just submit your orders on time...

I have drill Sunday, but may be getting off early, I have F250 disel. If we could do it later, would love to help and meet you guys.

Thanks for the offer,

but the time is somewhat given by the current owner.
I can PM you my # and if it is somewhat in time that you get off, just buzz me.

I can help on the Buford end. Do you happen to have any suction cups? Could be a great tool to have.

I think either JT955 or Christoperjay had some, and on saturday I am spending FishScales a visit, soliciting to borrow his.
Maybe if someone has belts that we can put underneath?
I'll def bring my towing belt - but a second one wouldn't hurt.

I'll be posting adresses tomorrow - thanks for helping, Glenn!

I've already got that covered, Robb.

How 'bout the shipping blanket? Can't hurt to have it with us in case.

Should specify, I got the belts covered.

As for lunch, just catch me that bristleworm in your fuge and I'll be good.

Any preference in beer for the chill out afterwards?

yep see you then!

I'm a CHEEEEP drinker. Easy to please! BTW, thanks for the call today. That saved me a lot of time. You are the man!

Robb, how's the personnel count? Do we need a second vehicle to drive to the tank? I don't mind (but can only carry me + 1).

We have Delloman and Tracy, means a VAN and a 6ft truck - we should be all set.

BTW; that rock is HUGE - didn't fit in any of my buckets...

umm budlight or Yuengling (sp)

If you can't spell it you're not allowed to drink it...

Yuengling,

(Dude, I'm German I can't drink that stuff...LOL)

lol ok well blue moon will do

So I'm gonna be planning a trip to Marietta I guess! I'll take a big cooler. Looks like new rockscape time I guess; no way I can put that on top if it's that big!

Huh?

No no,

I got it - but it didn't fit in the regular bucket.
Get it tomorrow and a timer strip if you still want it - I have two now.

Robb

GET UP EVERYONE!

The big day has arrived!!!


See y'all...

Robb, congratulations again on getting this tank. Hope you guys have fun transporting it. I would come join the festivities but I gotta go to frag school today at Keen. :D

Looking forward to seeing this beast up and running!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have 6 suction cups and my body today, it is my day off:D Not sure if I will show upto Tracy's or meet at the house but we will see.

Chris,

either way - highly appreciated!

Robb

Five more minutes? Please?

see you all at the pickup point.

5 more minutes?
School won't wait for ya boy.... (That still rings in my ears. LOL)

allright talked my roomate into coming to leaving here in just a minute

Congrats to Robb, that is a great tank. Only a small crack. Great so may showed up, it was as light as a feather.

And we didn't get caught in the rain with the stand in the truck!

And the story continues,
I couldn't keep posting under the 330g headline (obviously) so I started here again:

Anytime. I still owe you.

Is there something missing off of the frag rack? Hmmm...

Nothing I missed yet ... haha

congrats on the tank, can't wait to see it up and running. Don't forget to put a pad under it when you fill it; wouldn't want to crack it or anything.....lol
