Or ask Scotty to beam it over. (I hope I live to see that tech come

One of my customers asked us to send somebody to a machine auction
that's about 2-1/2 hours away and bid on a BIG lathe. Used, it should
go for $15k. Roger loves road trips and buying used machines, he
usually leaves a dealer bleeding. My customer makes "Dodge-Em" cars for
amusement parks and we make brushes that are the electrical contacts
with the floor. How cool is THAT? All for good customer relations!


Way cool. So, does Roger transport, or just say "Get it moved."?
