[GreenKeys] Pete Lancahire Equipment

Tue Mar 19 16:21:36 EDT 2019

There is seriously no west coast interest whatsoever? That surprises me as it seems there are quire a few people on the list over there.

There's certainly interest here with me. I could take on some equipment, and perhaps I could hold on to some additional equipment until others are able to travel to pick them up. I'm about 800 miles away from Portland, though. Transportation is the most difficult part. 

A pod may be best outside of someone trucking it around, but that generally limits it to being delivered to just one location if I understand the business. If I could, I'd love to rent a truck and do a long road trip dropping equipment off in exchange for gas money and handshakes. Unfortunately something like that is out of the question for a number of years for me.
