Russ, since Mesquite, TX is fairly close to me (about 75 minutes driving time), I'd consider picking it up for you. Then perhaps I could take it up into Oklahoma, then someone else could relay it until it finally reached you. They said "substantial" shipping, so we could beat that!
Whadda-ya-say??? Anybody want to estimate the blocks it could kick out? Is it cost effective or just cool-ness factor?
